If you are using an Eclipse-based help viewer and want
to make WebSphere® ESB documentation
available for viewing there, you can configure your viewer to view
the documentation.
Before you begin
Installing documentation into an Eclipse-based help viewer
requires a working Internet connection to download documentation.
Your Eclipse-based help viewer must also be version 3.1.0 or higher.
About this task
The IBM®
WebSphere ESB Help
System is specially configured to download documentation from the
update server for
version 6.2 of WebSphere Business Process
Management products. You can configure other Eclipse-based help systems
to download documentation from that update server
Procedure
- Go to the plugins directory of your Eclipse-based help
viewer.
- Within that plugins directory, find the Eclipse "webapp"
plugin directory, which is typically named org.eclipse.help.webapp_<version>. For example, the 3.1.0 version of the Eclipse webapp plugin
folder is named org.eclipse.help.webapp_3.1.0.
- In that plugin folder, open the file bookmarks.xml for
editing.
- Add or change the values of the site element attributes:
Option |
Description |
name (optional) |
update server |
url |
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/dmndhelp/downloads/v6r2mx |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bookmarks>
<site name="update server"
url="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/dmndhelp/downloads/v6r2mx" />
</bookmarks>
- Start the help system in stand-alone
mode. The update function is not available in server mode. If
the help system is already running, you need to stop it before restarting.
- Click the Update button (
) in the toolbar
at the upper right of the browsing window. The help
viewer displays a list of currently installed documentation. For example:Installed documentation
[]+ IEHS information center document version 3.1.1
[]+ IEHS help system document version 3.1.1
[Find Updates]
- Click Find Updates to
access the update server. The update server is the remote
server from which documentation features are downloaded. The help viewer displays a list of available updates.
For example:
Select updates you want to install
Updates for existing documentation
No updates for existing documentation
New documentation
[]+ WebSphere Process Server, English documentation version 6.2
[]+ WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, English documentation version 6.2
[]+ WebSphere Integration Developer documentation in English version 6.2
[Install Updates]
- Select the documentation you want to install. If
you have not already installed WebSphere ESB documentation,
that documentation set will be listed in the New documentation section.
- Click Install Updates. The
help viewer displays its progress as it downloads the documentation
set from the server. The help viewer displays a
list of the successfully installed documentation.
- Click Finish to complete the installation
process and restart the help viewer.
What to do next
You can view the newly installed documentation in your help
system.
