Cached client support for Mac OS X (Java clients only)

Cached clients have the following limitations on Mac OS X:
  • Staging of Host On-Demand updates is managed on a per server basis.
  • Preloading cached clients from a DVD or LAN drive serves no function. When the browser is redirected to the real Web site, the plug-in considers that to be a distinct Web server and the client is cached again.
  • Host On-Demand runs as an applet and must download code to the users' machines. The Host On-Demand client downloads all of the components, but you can reduce the download size by removing the components that you do not need. On Mac OS X, you cannot install additional components after the initial download.
  • The Host On-Demand Java files used to run the Host On-Demand cached client on a Java-enabled Web browser are stored in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) cache. To remove the cached client on Mac OS X, you need to use the Java Control Panel to clear the JRE cache. For instructions, see Using the Java plug-in.
  • When running the cached client, the code must be upgraded when newer versions of the client are available. There are a number of Deployment Wizard options that allow you to control when the upgrades occur. These options are not available on Mac OS X.
