4.5.1 Database overview

JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 has multiple database folders and data storage folders according to the type.

The destination of each folder can be specified when you set up the management server.

The following table lists and describes the folders.

Folder type	Description	Created?
Database folder	A folder in which a database area is created for storing management information, including device information, asset information, security policies, events, and reports	Yes
Data folder	A folder that stores data, such as the registered agents and packages created by the distribution function	Yes
Local data folder	A folder used as a management server temporary folder during operation	Yes
Operation log backup folder	A folder for saving backed-up operation log data. When you restore operation logs in the operation window, the data in this folder is stored in the operation log database folder, which allows you to reference past operation logs.	C
Operation log database folder	A database area that stores operation log data, from which you can view operation logs collected from computers. Automatically restored operation logs and manually restored logs are stored.	C
Revision history output folder	A folder to which revision histories are output periodically for archival purposes.	C
Database extraction folder	A folder for temporarily saving data when the database folder is changed. This folder is not used during normal operation	Yes

Legend: Yes: Always created, C: Created depending on the setting

Tip: Only the disk that the OS of the management server recognizes as a local drive can be specified for the folders. Note, however, that for the operation log backup folder, a network folder can be specified. Therefore, we recommend that you use large-capacity storage for the operation log backup folder and use a hard disk on the management server for other folders. Also note that you cannot specify a storage device that is identified as a removable disk.
