The documentation is packaged as Eclipse document plug-ins and must be viewed using the IBM WebSphere Help System documentation viewer. The help system (or viewer) and document plug-in format are based on an open-source approach developed by the Eclipse Project.
These instructions guide you through the process of installing and viewing a documentation information center on your computer. The general procedure consists of these steps:
Install the WebSphere Help System documentation viewer from the CD labeled WebSphere Process Server CD 2. This component is in the \IEHS directory.
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 documentation viewer. 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, follow these steps:
When you close the viewer by simply closing its window, its processes continue to run 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 it is not in use also frees system memory. When you shut down your computer, all help system processes shut down.
