Step of 9: Begin creating your HTML file

The Host On-Demand Deployment Wizard allows you to create an HTML file that is used to launch Host On-Demand sessions. Within the Deployment Wizard, you can add, delete, configure, and start sessions. It guides you configuration choices and provides comprehensive help for the features. When you have finished selecting features, it creates the HTML and supporting files for you.

In this scenario, the administrator performs Steps 6 - 9 all within the Deployment Wizard in one sitting. However, you may decide to create your HTML file first and then configure your session and create your macro later. Refer to the supplemental notes at the beginning of Steps 7 and 8 for more information about how to do this.

To begin creating your HTML file on a Windows machine, take the following steps:

1. Open the Deployment Wizard:
   • If you automatically installed the Deployment Wizard as part of the Windows Host On-Demand server, click Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand > Administration > Deployment Wizard.
   • If you installed the Deployment Wizard from the Host On-Demand CD separately, click Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand Deployment Wizard > Deployment Wizard.
     
     
2. Select either to create a new HTML file or edit an existing file. Click Next.
   
   
   
   
3. Choose from three different configuration models and click Next:
• HTML-based model
• Configuration server-based model (if you choose this configuration model, refer to Web Express Logon using the Configuration server-based model (opens new browser))
• Combined model
  
  The administrator in this scenario chooses the HTML-based model.



4. On the Host Sessions window, click New/Import to open the Add sessions window. This window allows you to either create a new session (default) or import an existing session.

   To create a new session, select a host type, enter a session name, and a destination address. In this scenario, the administrator selects 3270 Display.
   

   For FTP sessions, select FTP as the host type.

   
   
   
   Click OK to return to the Host Sessions window.
