To access the documentation described here, go to the Host On-Demand support page: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/310719. Most of the documentation is also included with the Host On-Demand product or Toolkit.

  • Online Help. The Online Help is the primary source of information for administrators and users after Host On-Demand installation is complete. It provides detailed steps on how to perform Host On-Demand tasks. A table of contents and an index help you locate task-oriented help panels and conceptual help panels. While you use the Host On-Demand graphical user interface (GUI), help buttons bring up panel-level help panels for the GUI.
  • Programming, Installing, and Configuring Host On-Demand. Written for system administrators, this book helps you to plan for, install, and configure the Host On-Demand program.
  • Program Directory. The program directory instructs you on how to install Host On-Demand on the z/OS and OS/390 platforms.
  • Readme file. This file, readme.html, contains product information that was discovered too late to include in the product documentation.
  • Web Express Logon Reference. This book provides a step-by-step approach for understanding, implementing, and troubleshooting Web Express Logon.

  • Toolkit Getting Started. This book explains how to install and configure the Host On-Demand Toolkit, which is shipped with the Host Access Client Package, but is installed from a different CD-ROM than the Host On-Demand base product. The Host On-Demand Toolkit complements the Host On-Demand base product by offering Java beans and other components to help you maximize the use of Host On-Demand in your environment.

  • Host On-Demand Redbooks. The Host On-Demand Redbooks complement the Host On-Demand product documentation by offering a practical, hands-on approach to using Host On-Demand. Redbooks are offered "as is" and do not always contain the very latest product information.
