You can install help content on your computer
and access it locally from your product. To do so, install the local
help on your computer from the remote IBM information center or from
an internal site that is configured on your network by an administrator.
Administrators can also install help content on a shared server on
your intranet.
Before you begin
Typically, this task is done on a computer where the product
is installed. If you are installing the help on an intranet server
where the product is not installed, you must first deploy
the help system infrastructure on that server. Then, you can
install help content.
About this task
The help delivery system is packaged as a web
archive (.war) file and is installed with the product. The .war file
contains the basic help infrastructure that is required to run a help
system and minimal product-specific information. By default, the product
accesses help content from a remote IBM information center. You can
install the help content locally on your computer by using the Local
Help Updater. If you have Internet access, the Local Help Updater
installs the help from the remote IBM information center. If you do
not have Internet access, you can configure the Local Help Updater
to install the help from help archive file. You or an administrator
can download the help archive file to your computer or to a server
on your network.
