Installing the cached client from the Host On-Demand server

To install the cached client from a Host On-Demand server:

  1. Specify the full URL of the HTML file in your browser, as described in Loading emulator clients.
  2. If you want to use a predefined client, click on the cached client link after loading http://server_name/hod_alias/HODMain.html, where server_name is the host name or IP address of the Host On-Demand server and hod_alias is the alias (or path) of the publish directory.
  3. The cached client begins installing immediately. A window shows the progress of the installation. The upper progress bar of this window shows the status of individual files as they download, while the lower progress bar shows the status of the overall installation.

    		 The installation progress window does not appear for a few types of Java cached clients. These are the same Java cached clients that are listed in Limits of support.
  4. When the installation completes, the installation code immediately launches the Java cached client. The user does not have to restart the browser.
