Browser-based user interface

The browser-based access of Host On-Demand gives you a simple way to centrally manage and deploy critical host applications and data. Host On-Demand uses the power of Java technology to open the doors to your host system whenever you need it, wherever you need it, directly from your browser. Just click on a hyperlink to launch the Host On-Demand Java applet. This Web-to-host connectivity solution provides secure Web-browser access to host applications and system data through Java-based emulation, so you can take existing host applications to the Web without programming. Because Host On-Demand is Java-based, its interface has the same look-and-feel across various types of operating environments.

On Windows platforms, the default Host On-Demand client graphical user interface is based on the Nimbus Look and Feel provided by Java 1.6 and later. The Nimbus Look and Feel can be disabled using the setHODNimbusGUI HTML parameter or the SETHODNIMBUSGUI environment variable.
Note: Host On-Demand portlets inherit the look of their portal server.
