- About the information center
- With the information center, users can view, browse, and search online information.
The information center is built upon open source software developed by the Eclipse Project
(www.eclipse.org). It can display content that has been packaged as an Eclipse documentation
plug-in.
- Prerequisite software for the information center
- To use this information center, you must have a supported Web browser installed as your default system browser.
- Accessibility features
- Accessibility features enable a user with a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to operate software products successfully.
- Viewing information in different languages
- To view the information center user interface in another language, set the language option in your browser so that your desired language is the first one specified, clear the browser cache, and refresh your browser view.
- Navigating in the information center
- The information center provides a graphical user interface for browsing product documentation.
- Searching this documentation
- Improve your search results by understanding how to formulate your queries and restrict your search to a given scope.
- Book marking topics in this documentation
- Book marking will save topics so that you can find them again later. A topic is one unit of information --
one entry in the table of contents.
- Printing and PDF files
-
You can print a single topic, using either the print function of your Web browser or the print function of
the information center. To print multiple topics easily, use the PDF versions of this documentation.
- Using this documentation offline
-
Work offline by downloading an information center (known as WebSphere Help System)
and populating it with one or more documentation plug-ins. This is analogous to downloading
the Adobe Acrobat Reader and one or more PDF documents to view. Note that PDF versions of this
documentation are the other option for working offline.
