Installation manual

Obtain the latest JDK for UNIX from one of the following sites:
http://www.ibm.com/java
ftp://ftp.hursley.ibm.com/pub/java
If you have previously installed Host On-Demand and have changed
/hostondemand/lib/NSMprop or changed or created
/hostondemand/hod/config.properties , you must back up these files before
installation, then restore them after installation. The files are overwritten during
the installation process.
To install the Host On-Demand server on a UNIX workstation, follow the steps
below. These examples assume that you are installing Host On-Demand in the
/usr/local directory and that hostondemand is the server directory and HOD is the
publish directory. Adjust the statements to match your environment.
1. Insert the CD and mount it.
2. Create a server directory, for example, hostondemand . The server directory
contains files that are used only by the server and must not be available to
client workstations.
3. Change to the server directory.
4. Tar files are located in the /cdrom/tar directory. Untar the files from
hod60srv.tar to the server directory.
5. Untar hod60www.tar into the HOD directory. English language support is
installed by default. If you want additional language support, untar the
appropriate language file from the /cdrom/tar directory. For example, to
install Spanish language support:
cd HOD
tar -xf /cdrom/tar/hod_es.tar
6. In this example, assume that the tar files are in the /cdrom/tar directory.
These commands create the /usr/local/hostondemand and
/usr/local/hostondemand/HOD directories and install the files.
cd /usr/local
mkdir hostondemand
cd hostondemand
tar -xf /cdrom/tar/hod60srv.tar
mkdir HOD
cd HOD
tar -xf /cdrom/tar/hod60www.tar
7. Make the publish directory, /usr/local/hostondemand/HOD available to clients
on the network. Refer to your Web server documentation for information
about how to do that.
8. Start the Host On-Demand Service Manager, which provides support services
for Host On-Demand and runs as a Java application:
a. Change directory to the /usr/local/hostondemand/lib subdirectory.
b. Copy NCServiceManager-UNIX from the
/usr/local/hostondemand/lib/samples/CommandFiles directory.
Make sure the NCServiceManager-UNIX file has execute permission.
c. Edit NCServiceManager-UNIX to reflect the directory paths that are correct
for your workstation.
