Updating help content from the Help updater site

Use the Local Help System updater to help ensure that you have the latest help content when the computer that hosts the help content has Internet access. The help server can be the product server or another intranet server that just hosts the help, depending on how the help is configured.

Before you begin

To update help content, you must be using local or intranet help and you must be logged on to your help server.

Procedure

  1. On the help server, navigate to https://server:port/help-name/updater/updatewar.jsp. To find the help context root (server, port, and help-name), bring up the help from the product (? > Help contents), your URL will be https://server:port/help-name/index.jsp.
    The Updater site opens.
  2. Click the Installed Features tab.
  3. Click Search for Updates.
  4. In the Search for updates dialog box, select the current product and version site, and then click OK. If updates to the content are available, they are installed on your computer. A progress bar indicates the status of the request.
  5. When the update is finished, the Help restarted dialog box open. Click OK. The help content is updated.
    Note: You do not need to restart your product to see the new help content.
