When the target DDM server is configured to use ASP groups, and the DDM file specifies a relational database name, the relational database entry specified in the DDM file on the client is used to establish the ASP group for the target job.
When using a DDM file that does not specify a relational database name, the target job's ASP group is established using the initial ASP group attribute in the job description for the user profile that the target job is running under.
