Linking to DB2 Documentation on a Local Web Server with the Information Center.

For information on putting DB2 Universal Database on a local web server, see the Installation and Configuration Supplement.



To link to documentation on a local web server:

  1. Open the index file corresponding to the page that you want to update in a Unicode editor such as SC UniPad, or UNIEDIT for Windows, or yutex, or yudit for Linux. (Notepad will not work because it cannot read the Unicode files used for the Information Center notebook). Here is a list of the pages in the Information Center notebook and their corresponding file names:


    Information Center page File name
    Tasks db2tasksuc.ndx
    Books db2booksuc.ndx
    Reference db2refsuc.ndx
    Troubleshooting db2msgsuc.ndx
    Sample Programs db2sampsuc.ndx
    Web db2webuc.ndx

    These files are located in the following directories:

  2. Change the Web addresses of the entries in the file to reflect their new locations on your local Web server.

    Note:The first entry in the file is a number corresponding to the number of entries in the file. This number must be manually updated if you add or remove entries. The other entries in the file are in the form of a comma-separated list. Here is an example: 

    "DB2 Connect User's Guide",32,"Access host data from a workstation",db2c0/index.htm

    The list is as follows :

    1. The name of the entry as it appears in the tree or list of items in the Information Center
    2. The number representing the category of this entry
    3. The description that appears on the status line when this item is selected
    4. The full Web address indicating the location of the entry
  3. If you have added or removed any entries in the file, update the number found on the first line of the file to reflect the current number of entries in the file.
  4. Save the file you have been working on.
  5. Update the files corresponding to the other pages in the Information Center if necessary.
  6. Restart the Control Center and the Information Center to have your changes take effect.
