If you have already installed the IBM® WebSphere® ESB Help
System, you can use the update function in the help system itself
to install into and view product documentation within that help system.
Before you begin
Installing documentation into the IBM WebSphere ESB Help
System requires a working Internet connection to download documentation.
Also, the IBM WebSphere ESB Help
System installation wizard must have found a compatible help system
on your system. See Installing the documentation in other Eclipse-based
help viewers for information about installing documentation
in help viewers that are not the WebSphere ESB Help
System.
Only previously installed copies of the IBM WebSphere Process
Server or WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus Help System can be used. The WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus Help Systems
are equivalent - for the same version - and can be used interchangeably.
If you plan to use the update function to bring your documentation
up-to-date with the latest available for your version of the product,
earlier versions of the IBM User
Interface Help System Built on Eclipse and Eclipse-based help viewers
cannot be used. They do not have the update function that initiates
installation of the product documentation and will not be found by
the installation wizard in its search.
About this task
You can use the update function to update your local installation
with the latest documentation available for products in the same version
of the WebSphere Business
Process Management product family (for example, WebSphere Process Server Version 6.2 and WebSphere ESB Version 6.2).
Note: Because
the update function is limited to installing the latest documentation
available for products in the same version of the WebSphere Business Process Management product
family, it requires extra steps to do any of the following:
- Add 6.2 documentation to version 6.1.2 of IBM WebSphere ESB Help
System
- Add 6.1.2 documentation to version 6.2 of IBM WebSphere ESB Help
System
- Add non-WebSphere Business Process Management product's documentation
to version 6.2 of IBM WebSphere ESB Help
System
If you have a help system from an earlier version of the product
(for example, WebSphere Process
Server Version 6.1.2), you can add documentation for the newer product
version into that help system by changing the bookmarks.xml file to
point to the documentation update site for the new product version.
For more information on changing the bookmarks.xml file, see
Installing different versions of documentation into an help system.
Procedure
- Cancel the IBM WebSphere ESB Help
System installation wizard if you haven't already and follow the instructions
here to install product documentation from within the help system
itself.
- Follow instructions in Starting the help system
viewer to start the IBM WebSphere ESB help
system.
- Click the Update icon in the help
system toolbar and click Find Updates at the
bottom of the Installed documentation list. The help
system goes to the IBM Help
System server and returns a list of documentation sets to install.
These sets include product documentation in different languages and
can also include documentation sets for different products.
- Select the check box for the documentation that you want
to install.
- Click Install Updates to confirm
the documentation to be installed. The IBM WebSphere ESB Help
System installs the selected documentation.
What to do next
You can view the newly installed documentation by stopping
and then restarting the help system.
