If you configured the downloaded help content (local help),
you can update help content from downloading the updates in the Local
Help Updater 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 configured an intranet server to provide 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.
About this task
By default, the Automatic
Updates option is not selected in the Local
Help Updater. If you select the Automatic Updates option,
you receive updated content from the help update site (ibm.com) and
the sites in the Favorites Sites list when
the help WAR file is restarted and an internet connection exists. If you choose to leave the Automatic
Updates check box cleared, you can manually update content.
Procedure
To manually install updates:
- If you are using an internet connection, follow these steps:
- On the help server, open the local
help updater page in a browser, https://localhost:port/help-name/updater/updatewar.jsp.
The Updater window opens.
- If you are not using an internet connection, follow these
steps:
- On a computer that has internet access, obtain the compressed
help-content file for your product from the IBM Updater website at http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/documentation/updatesites/.
The file name has the format prod_coden.n_updateSite.zip,
where prod_code is the product
code and n.n is the version
number. Download this file to the computer.
- Move the updateSite.zip file to
the location where the help WAR file is running, either to the help
server or the intranet server that is hosting the information center.
- On the help server, open the local
help updater page in a browser, https://localhost:port/help-name/updater/updatewar.jsp.

. If the updates to your installed content are available,
the updates are installed on your system. A progress bar indicates
the status of the request.
