Installation manual

Note: If you are installing the cached client on a Netscape 6.0 Web browser, you
cannot install the client from CD.
1. Copy the following files from the HOD publish directory of your Host
On-Demand server installation, to a network drive or put them on a CD:
HODCached.html (customized for a LAN or CD load)
hodlogo.gif
hodbkgnd.gif
Installer.html
Cached.js
ccversions.properties
CachedAppletInstaller.*
CachedAppletSupporter.*
CachedAppletRemover.*
sccbase.*
*.jar
*.cab
scccversions.properties
These next files are in subdirectories of the HOD publish directory of your Host
On-Demand server installation. You must keep these files in the appropriate
subdirectories when copying them to your LAN or CD drive.
msgs\cached_*.properties
com\ibm\eNetwork\msgs\cached_*.class
2. Start the browser and open the file HODCached.html from the source (CD or
directory). The installation begins immediately. You will see a progress bar as
the client is installed, then a message asking you to restart the browser. Do so,
then enter the URL for the cached client on your Host On-Demand server, not
on the local source:
http://server_name/hod/HODCached.html
From now on, load HODCached.html from the server.
If you want to install the cached client using a customized HTML file, you must
first create the HTML using the Deployment Wizard. Then load the HTML file
from either the server or from a network drive. See the online documentation for
the Deployment Wizard for more information regarding creating an HTML file.
Upgrading Host On-Demand Version 4.x cached clients to Host
On-Demand Version 6
If you upgrade your Host On-Demand server from Version 4.x to Version 6, your
clients will no longer be able to communicate with the server without upgrading.
If you need to manage network demand while upgrading cached clients, you can
gradually move all of your Host On-Demand Version 4.x cached clients to Host
On-Demand Version 6 by setting up two servers. One would be a Host
On-Demand Version 4.x server and the other would be a Host On-Demand Version
6 server. Configure all clients to access the Host On-Demand Version 6 server, and
then add the HTML parameter HODServer to HODCached.html, or any of your
customized cached client HTML files that are on the Host On-Demand Version 6
server. There are two applets specified in the HTML files. Add the HODServer
parameter to the second applet. You can do all of this using the Deployment
Wizard; however, if you want to manually modify the applet, the format for the
parameter is:
<PARAM NAME=HODServer VALUE=http://yourhostname/alias/HODCached.html>
