If your product offers help content on the Web, only a limited number of help topics are installed with the product. By default, your product connects to the Web and accesses help content directly from an information center. If you need to access the help when you are not connected to the Internet, you can download the help and access it locally, or you can connect to an information center on an intranet server if your system administrator has made one available to you.
See the installation guide to find out if your product supports Web-based help content.
The following three options are available during the installation process, but can be changed at any time:
If you select this option, then you will be linked to your product information center through an ibm.com® Web site. You can access the Web-based help for the product only when you are connected to the Internet. When you are disconnected, you will have access to a limited number of help topics that are installed with the product.
After you download the information center content that you need, it will be available when you work while disconnected. You can update the content when changes are available.
If you are an administrator and you want users to access help content from an intranet server, see the installation information for guidance on setting up the intranet server and downloading the help content from the update site.
