Installation manual
10. If you unpacked hod60www.zip into SYS:\web\docs as suggested above, the
HOD directory is automatically published, because it is a subdirectory of the
default published directory, SYS:\web\docs . If you unpacked the file
anywhere else, publish that directory (make it available to client users who
access the server through a browser). Refer to the Web server documentation
for information about how to do that.
11. Reboot the server.
12. From the server console, run the command load java to start the Java NLM.
13. Start the Host On-Demand Service Manager, which provides support services
for Host On-Demand and runs as a Java application, by following these steps
from a client system mapped to the SYS volume of the server:
a. Change directory to the \hostondemand\lib subdirectory.
b. Copy NCServiceManager-Novell.ncf from the
\hostondemand\lib\samples\CommandFiles directory to the \system
directory on the Novell Server. To run the command from the server
console, you might have to change the filename to the eight-dot-three
format.
c. Edit NCServiceManager-Novell.ncf (or the eight-dot-three format of the
file) to reflect the directory paths that are correct for your workstation.
d. From the server, run NCServiceManager-Novell.ncf (or the eight-dot-three
format of the file). The Service Manager does not display a message
indicating that it has started.
For Host On-Demand to function, the Service Manager must be running. If you
reboot the server, you must also restart the Service Manager.
14. Restart the Web server.
15. Load HODMain.html , located in the \hostondemand\HOD directory, into your
browser.

You can automatically install Host On-Demand through a graphical interface, or
through an ASCII control file in silent mode.

before installation occurs. If a prerequisite is missing the action taken by the Install
Manager will depend on the policy setting in the control file.
