Installation manual
in the Host On-Demand online help for more information. Streamlined panel flow
and other usability improvements to the Deployment Wizard panels make
administration easier. Online help for the Deployment Wizard is now available
from within the Wizard panels.
Native Windows print support
Windows users can print using the standard printer drivers. Users can use their
default Windows printers without additional configuration, and they can change
properties without closing their host printer sessions.
Integrated Windows domain logon
If this function is enabled, users are not required to log on to the Host On-Demand
server to access their configuration data. Host On-Demand retrieves the Windows
domain user ID, which becomes the Host On-Demand user name. If a user is
already defined on the server, the configuration data for that user is accessed.
Otherwise, new users are automatically created with group default settings. You
can use the Deployment wizard to configure this function (see the online help for
instructions).
Customizable toolbar
Administrators and users can customize the toolbar buttons used for Host
On-Demand sessions. Users can add and edit toolbar buttons to launch an applet,
run an application, go to a URL, run a macro, or perform a menu function. After
customizing the toolbar, settings are saved for future sessions.
Cached client support across the Internet
Host On-Demand keeps the cached components at a consistent level and prevents
users from installing different and potentially conflicting versions of components
from different servers. Clients can communicate with servers running different
levels of Host On-Demand.
Support for Java2-enabled browsers
Clients are supported on Java2-enabled Web browsers, such as Netscape 6.x and
Mozilla. The Java2 plug-in with Netscape 4.x and Microsoft Internet Explorer is
also supported.
JVM 1.3 support on server
Host On-Demand supports JVM 1.3 on the server.
Tab to next word and delete word
Similar to Personal Communications emulation, users or administrators can move
the cursor easily between words or delete a word using supported function keys.
Supported function keys can be defined as Tab Word, Backtab Word, Next Word,
Previous Word, and Delete Word.
Problem determination enhancements
A customer support person can activate and control the Host On-Demand trace
facility for an emulator client session by specifying parameters in the associated
HTML file. You can also add an optional parameter that launches the IP monitor
utility on a Host On-Demand emulator session. A troubleshooting section is added
to the online help table of contents so that you can troubleshoot common problems
before calling IBM Service.
