exceptions. To resolve this, following a version upgrade of your browser, you
should remove Host On-Demand using HODRemove.html, and then re-install the
product using HODCached.html.
Cached client with problem determination
(HODCachedDebug.html)
This client starts the cached client with problem determination (session logging
and tracing).
Loading the download client after installing the cached client
If you have installed the cached client and then wish to load any of the download
clients, such as HODAdmin.html or HODDatabase.html, you must first remove the
cached client from the browser by loading HODRemove.html in your browser, and
then restart your browser. If you do not remove the cached client before loading
the Download client the session will not start, and you may see exceptions in the
Java console.
Download clients
The Download client (HOD.html) provides all Host On-Demand client function,
except problem determination. Unlike the cached client, the Download client is
downloaded from the server every time you want to use it.
Accessing HOD.html with a browser using the 1.3 JRE (such as Netscape 6.0) will
work with limited functions. A list of functions that will not work is contained in
Limitations. Using HODDebug.html instead will result in full functionality for
Host On-Demand. However, the hoddbg.jar file that is downloaded will be
approximately 4.5 MB. It is recommend that you use the Deployment Wizard to
customize your HTML files to include only those components that are needed.
Use this client if:
v You do not want to take up disk space on client machines by installing the
cached client or the Locally-installed client
v You cannot use the cached client because you don’t have a suitable browser.
v Your initial download time is not an issue.
Download client with Screen Customizer/LE Interface
(HODCustom.html)
This is the standard client with a window-like interface provided by Screen
Customizer. It is downloaded from the server each time it is used.
Download client with problem determination (HODDebug.html)
This client loads the standard Download client with problem determination
(session logging and tracing).
Function On-Demand client
Note: This is not available for the Java2-enabled Web browsers, such as Netscape
6.0.
It is recommended that you use the Deployment Wizard to create a customized
HTML file instead of the Function On-Demand client.
The Function On-Demand (HODThin.html) client is much smaller than the other
clients. Initially, only the basic functions are downloaded, so the startup time is
greatly reduced. Other functions are downloaded when they are needed. Some
