The host to which JP1/AJS3 - View is connecting (the host where JP1/Software Distribution Client is installed) is called the packaging execution host. The host to which JP1/Software Distribution Client on the packaging execution host is connecting (the host where JP1/Software Distribution Manager is installed) is called the package registration host. The package registration host is also called the package source host because it distributes the package to JP1/Software Distribution Client. The host to which JP1/Software Distribution Manager on the package source host distributes the package is called the package destination host.
The packaging execution host must have JP1/Software Distribution Client installed on it.
In this example, JP1/AJS3 - Manager and JP1/Software Distribution Manager are installed on separate hosts. You can, however, also install them on the same host.
The packaging execution host and package destination host must have the same type of OS (Windows or UNIX) installed. In UNIX, make sure that the execution and destination hosts also have the same system language. Packages registered from a Windows packaging execution host can be distributed only to Windows hosts. Packages registered from a UNIX packaging execution host can be distributed only to UNIX hosts that use the same system language.
The following figure shows the setup procedures for linking JP1/Software Distribution.

- Cautionary note

For a Windows host, it is necessary to add the value JP1/Software-Distribution-Client-installation-folder\bin to the PATH environment variable.
For further details on setting up JP1/Software Distribution in Windows, see the Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Setup Guide (for Windows systems). In UNIX, see the Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Manager Description and Administrator's Guide, Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution SubManager Description and Administrator's Guide (for UNIX systems), and Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Client (for UNIX systems).
