Viewing the help system

Use a Web browser to view the contents of your help system.

Before you begin

When the help system runs in server mode it calls a Web application on the user-defined port and makes the help content available to any Web browser that connects to that help system. The help pages and menus are displayed in the locale of the Web browser. To change the port on which the server starts, you can change the start up script in a text editor.

About this task

When starting in information center in stand-alone mode the documentation is displayed automatically. However, to view the documentation in server mode, you must complete the following steps:
Procedure
  1. Open a Web browser.
  2. Type the URL http://<servername>:<port>/help to the help pages, where <servername> is the name of the host name or IP address of the system where the help system is installed. For example, if the information center is installed on the server xyz.com and the default port is used, you can open the information center by entering the following URL http://xyz.ibm.com:8888/help
  3. Press Enter. It might take a few minutes for the system to start.
