Configuring additional remote help connections

You can add additional remote help connections to add other product documentation into your information center.

About this task

When you want to have access to the documentation for multiple products at the same time, you can add URLs to other public information center and all of the content loads into the same help contents.

For example, when you have products that integrate with each other, you might find it useful to have both sets of documentation available and searchable at the same time.

Procedure

  1. In a browser, open the Help Administration page in the following format: https://localhost:port/help-name/updater/admin.jsp.
  2. Click the Remote help configuration tab.
  3. Click New.
  4. Enter a name for the connection.
  5. Enter a public information center URL. Example: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/help-name/version/index.jsp

    For a list of available information centers, see the list of Information Centers and Libraries for IBM software by brand.

  6. Click Test Connection. Verify that the connection status is successful. If the connection status fails, verify that the URL was entered correctly.
  7. Click OK. The URL is saved in the following format: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/help-name/version.
    Note: The /index.jsp ending of the URL is not included when the URL is saved. This truncation of the URL is correct.
  8. Click Apply.
  9. Click the Home Page tab to verify that the additional product documentation is visible in your help contents.
