7.4 Creating an asset management database

This section explains how to create an environment for an asset management database.

To create an environment for an asset management database, use the Database Manager dialog box. After you have created an asset management database, perform the following tasks:

• Create an ODBC data source name

• Create a database

• Create a user for database access

• Initialize the database

Hitachi recommends that you establish an asset management server environment after confirming the local database connection to avoid problems related to the database connection.

While Database Manager is running, do not execute other programs.

1. Click the Start button and select Programs, JP1_IT Desktop Management 2 - Asset Console, and then Setup.
