You can install help content on your computer and access it locally from your Rational®
DOORS® client. To do so, install the local help on
your computer from the help archive site or from an internal site that is configured on your
network by an administrator. Administrators can also install help content on a shared server
on your intranet.
Before you begin
Typically, this task is done on a computer where the Rational DOORS client is installed. If you are installing the help on an intranet server where Rational DOORS is not installed, you must first deploy the help system infrastructure on that server. Then, you can install help content.
About this task
The help delivery system is packaged as a web archive (.war) file and is installed with Rational
DOORS. The .war file contains the basic help
infrastructure that is required to run a help system and minimal product-specific
information. By default, the Rational
DOORS client accesses help content from the
remote IBM® Knowledge Center. You can install the
help content locally on your computer by using the Local Help Updater. If you have
Internet access, you can use the Local Help Updater to install the help from the help
archive site. If you do not have Internet access, you can configure the Local Help
Updater to install the help from a local copy of the help archive file. You or an
administrator must first download the help archive file to your computer or to a server
on your network.
