When you have help configured for downloaded help
content (local help),
you can update help content from either the help update site (ibm.com) if
you have an Internet connection or from a compressed file that you
downloaded from the IBM
Updater website at http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/documentation/updatesites/.
If you have an intranet server that provides access to help content
locally, download the content from the IBM® Updater
website. You can use the IBM Updater
website when you do not have Internet access on the server that hosts
the help or when the connection is slow or unreliable.
Procedure

Updates option is selected on the Local Help
Updater page, so you will get updated content from the help update site (ibm.com) when the help WAR file
is restarted and an internet connection exists. The sites in the Favorites
Sites list are checked for updates. When you download
content from a remote site, that site gets added to the Favorites
Sites list. You can filter the Available Content site
to only display the Favorites Sites.
