The Host On-Demand Service Manager provides support for persistent user configuration, error logging, and the Redirector.
When you log on as the administrator, you may see the following error message:
The Host On-Demand client is using a Configuration Servlet URL: file:/servlet/HODConfig/hod and is unable to contact the Host On-Demand Service Manager for one of the following reasons:Please contact your system administrator.
- The Configuration Servlet is not installed, is not operational, or is not configured with the correct hostname and port number of the Service Manager.
- The client's ConfigServerURL parameter does not point to the Configuration Servlet or is missing the /hod extension from the end of the URL.
- A network problem has prevented the connection.
- The Service Manager is not started, or is not operational.
This message indicates the service manager is not running.
In the Windows environment, the service manager starts automatically (through the Startup Folder in Windows 95 and Windows 98 and as an automatically started service in NT and 2000) after installation. It can also be started manually from the Start menu under Administration in the IBM Host On-Demand folder on Windows 95 and Windows 98, or from the Services control panel on Windows NT and 2000.
In other environments, you must manually start the service manager as a Java application.
Sample command files for OS/2, NetWare, AIX, UNIX, and iSeries are provided in \hostondemand\lib\samples\CommandFiles
