Web-to-Host Wizard overview

The Web-to-Host Wizard is a Java GUI application that is used to create and configure the BlueZone Web-to-Host web server files. The web server files contain all of the data to download and start the configured BlueZone emulation client sessions.

The Web-to-Host Wizard is not a BlueZone user application. It is used only by the BlueZone Web-to-Host administrator to create and configure BlueZone web server files.

The major features of the Web-to-Host Wizard are:

Easy to learn GUI interface
Provides easy access to most of the BlueZone Web-to-Host features
Eliminates the need to manually create and edit HTML object tags
Allows direct configuration of BlueZone emulation clients
Uses customizable web page templates
Built-in web server for evaluation and demonstration purposes
Support for multiple BlueZone Host emulator languages

Web-to-Host Wizard Installation Options

If you are installing BlueZone Web-to-Host on a Microsoft IIS web server, the BlueZone Web-to-Host setup program installs the BlueZone Web-to-Host Wizard and automatically detects that IIS is running.

If you want to serve up BlueZone Web-to-Host from on a non-Microsoft web server, you must first install the Web-to-Host Wizard on a Windows workstation. In this scenario, you will create your Web-to-Host web pages on the Windows workstation and when you are ready, copy or FTP them to your production web server.

Refer to Installing the BlueZone Web-to-Host Wizard for more information.

Upgrading to the current Web-to-Host Wizard

There are two upgrade options available:

The Import Option installs the latest version of the Web-to-Host Wizard, but keeps your current version of the BlueZone emulation clients.
The Upgrade Option completely upgrades your Web-to-Host installation to use both the latest version of the Web-to-Host Wizard and the BlueZone emulation clients.

Refer to Upgrading BlueZone Web-to-Host for more information.

Exceptions

If you have BlueZone Web-to-Host Version 3.3 or earlier installed, and you want to upgrade just the BlueZone components to this version, and you do not want to use the Web-to-Host Wizard, you can manually upgrade your current installation and continue to use it as you are now.
