Rational® Insight
allows updates to the help content on your server from an IBM® Web site provided that you have
an Internet connection available. With Web-based delivery, you can
add help content from any IBM information
center enabled for Web-based delivery. Rational Insight also supports remote help
so that you can pull in content dynamically from one information center.
Web-based delivery supports two different user scenarios:
- The help content can be downloaded and accessed from your server
so that you can work disconnected from the external Internet. This
is the default configuration for Rational Insight.
You can request that the help content in the local help server be
updated from the Rational Insight
information center on ibm.com® following
the steps in Updating the Rational Insight help content.
- The help content can be dynamically accessed on the Web from ibm.com so that you can have
the smallest installation footprint and the most up-to-date information.
To use this option, you need to remove the help content from the help
server and then set up the help server to use the remote help information
center by following these steps:
- Removing help content from the Rational Insight Server
- Configuring to use remote help from ibm.com
Note: If you want to access IBM help
locally without relying on an Internet connection, the Local Help
Updater can be used to install and access the help on a local system
or an enterprise help server. In addition, you can install the help
from a local copy of an update site. This option is useful for installing
help on machines that do not have an Internet connection. To use this
option, perform the steps in the following technote:
Installing help content from a local update site
using the Local Help Updater.
