This document describes how to install the product documentation for IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapters, Version 2.6. This information has been packaged as Eclipse document plug-ins, which you install with the documentation viewer. You will later need to move a small set of files to a specific product directory to enable context-sensitive help.
The documentation is packaged as Eclipse document plug-ins and must be viewed using the IBM(R) WebSphere(R) Help System. The help system (or viewer) and document plug-in format are based on an open source approach developed by the Eclipse Project (www.eclipse.org). IBM product document plug-ins are contained in folders that follow a consistent naming convention (com.ibm.xxx.doc).
To view IBM product documentation in the viewer, you must install new or updated document plug-ins into the eclipse\plugins folder of the IBM WebSphere Help System. The help system works with any information that has been packaged as an Eclipse document plug-in, including IBM product document plug-ins. IBM product plug-in folders are easily identified because they use a common naming convention (com.ibm.xxx.doc).
To install document plug-ins, complete the following steps:
To start the viewer:
Note: It might take a few minutes for the system to start and the document plug-ins to be displayed the first time you start it.
When you close the viewer by simply closing its window, its processes are still running in the background. This enables a much faster launch during subsequent sessions. However, you must shut down these processes when you install document plug-ins or update the help system with new plug-ins. Shutting down the viewer when not in use also frees up system memory. When you shut down your machine, all help system processes shut down.
To shut down the viewer:
