Step 1: Begin creating your Host On-Demand portlet.

The Host On-Demand Deployment Wizard allows you to create a portlet to be launched within a Portal Server page. Host On-Demand portlets are saved as Web Archive (WAR) files.

To begin creating your portlet 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 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.

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.
