The Help Location identifies the base uniform resource locator (URL) for your FileNet P8 Platform Help Web site. This entry tells the browser where to start looking for the context-sensitive Help topic for a selected node or dialog box in Enterprise Manager. See Access Content Engine Help for more information. The IBM FileNet P8 Platform Installation and Upgrade Guide describes how to install FileNet P8 documentation and configure it as a Web site.
The base URL is set in the domain root properties sheet (General tab).
You can configure the base URL to Help installed on a remote web server or on your local workstation, as described below:
NOTE See View and modify Enterprise Manager root properties for help opening Enterprise Manager's root properties sheet.
