  2. Download Deployment Wizard installation image from an already installed Host On-Demand v12 server. Access HODMain.html (for example http://hodserver.name.com/hod/HODMain.html, and click on Deployment Wizard Installation Image for Windows.
  3. Refer to the installation instructions for installing Deployment Wizard. You can run this without having to install the entire Host On-Demand server.
  4. Design the custom features and selections.
  5. Save the customized HTML file to the mapped network drive (For example, y:\ProdData\Host On-Demand\hod\myweb).
  6. Use a browser to test out the file (For example, http://iSeries.name.com/hod/myweb.html).
