Installation manual

Chapter 4. Migrating from previous versions of Host

On-Demand

With very few exceptions, data used in earlier versions of Host On-Demand will be

automatically migrated when you begin using Host On-Demand Version 6.

Any existing configuration data in your configuration server will be automatically

available in Host On-Demand Version 6 once installation is complete.

Existing custom HTML files must be edited and saved with the Deployment

Wizard in order to take advantage of new Host On-Demand Version 6 features.

Users who access these updated HTML files will automatically begin benefitting

from the new Host On-Demand Version 6 functions; and any local configuration

data will be seamlessly migrated for them.

Custom HTML files which are not updated with the Deployment Wizard will

generally still work, but they will not have any new Host On-Demand Version 6

functionality. If you are using Screen Customizer in these older HTML files, and

you do not want to edit them with the Deployment Wizard, you will need to

manually edit the HTML files to change all existing occurrences of scbase.jar and

scbase.cab to sccbase.jar and sccbase.cab, respectively.

Existing cached client HTML files will not work with Netscape 6.x or other

browsers running with JRE 1.3. You must update these files using the Deployment

Wizard. Existing Download client HTML files will work with Netscape 6.x if:

1. The files were customized using a previous version of the Deployment Wizard.

2. The client does not attempt to use any new function that was not included

from the Preload Options page when the HTML file was created by the

Deployment Wizard.
