Step 5: Begin creating your HTML file.

The Host On-Demand Deployment Wizard allows you to create an HTML file that is used to launch Host On-Demand sessions. Within the Deployment Wizard, you can add, delete, configure, and start sessions. It guides you configuration choices and provides comprehensive help for the features. When you have finished selecting features, it creates the HTML and supporting files for you.

To begin creating your HTML file on a Windows machine, take the following steps:
  1. Open the Deployment Wizard:
    • If you automatically installed the Deployment Wizard as part of the Windows Host On-Demand server, click Start > Programs > IBM Rational Host On-Demand > Administration > Deployment Wizard.
    • If you installed the Deployment Wizard from the Host On-Demand DVD separately, click Start > Programs > IBM Rational Host On-Demand Deployment Wizard > Deployment Wizard.
  2. On the Welcome to the Deployment Wizard window (Welcome to the Host On-Demand Deployment Wizard window), select either to create a new HTML file or edit an existing file. Click Next.

  3. If you are creating a new HTML file, select one of the following three configuration models on the Configuration Model window (Configuration Model window) and click Next:
    • HTML-based model
    • Configuration server-based model
    • Combined model

    		 If you are using the HTML-based or Combined models, you can create your HTML file as normal. However, if you are using the Configuration server-based model, you must configure the HTML file with additional steps. Refer to Web Express Logon using the Configuration server-based model for more information.

  4. On the Host Sessions window, click New/Import to open the Add session window (Add session window). This window allows you to either create a new session (default) or import an existing session. To create a new session, select a host type, enter a session name, and a destination address. Click OK to return to the Host Sessions window.
