You can selectively download Host On-Demand components to reduce the size of the cached client. By default, Host On-Demand base code is selected and cannot be deselected. The appropriate code-page group, based on a user's locale, is also selected. The administrator can customize the client HTML to define which components are available for initial download, which components the cached client can downloaded as needed, and which components the cached client can't download. For example, if a component is upgraded on the Host On-Demand server, the cached client downloads the new component, and only the new component, the next time you start the cached client.
You can use the Deployment Wizard to build customized cached client pages. The wizard sets the applet parameters in the HTML it creates based on your input, so you don't have to learn the syntax and valid parameter values. We highly recommend that you use the Deployment Wizard to build client pages.
The following parameters can be used to define and control cached client installations:
| Parameter name | Description | Default value | Valid values |
|---|---|---|---|
| CachedAppletNonNetworkLoad | When set to true the cached client recognizes that it is being loaded from a lan drive or a CD, so it can present more helpful error messages and an end of installation message. | ||
| DebugCachedClient | Allows the cached client to output debug information. | ||
| DebugComponents | Determines if the cached client should load debug components instead of normal cached client components. | ||
| InstallerFrameHeight | Allows for customization of Installer.html file so you can add installation specific HTML to the installation page. | ||
| InstallerFrameWidth | Allows for customization of Installer.html file so you can add installation specific HTML to the installation page. | ||
| PreloadCodeModules | The list of components to be downloaded initially. If there is no parameter specified, the default will be the Host On-Demand default cached client. | ||
| UpgradePercent | Sets the percentage of users who can upgrade when a new version of Host On-Demand is available. | ||
| UpgradePromptResponse | Allows the administrator to answer the upgrade prompt now, later, or background without displaying the prompt to the browser. When this parameter is set to prompt, the browser displays the choice. | background, prompt |

| UpgradeURL | Specifies a URL that is used to determine whether a user should be upgraded when a new version of Host On-Demand is available. If the retrieved document contains the word upgrade, the user is upgraded | to code base |
