WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, Version 6.2.0 Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, i5/OS, Linux, Solaris, Windows


Installing the documentation

You can install the IBM® WebSphere® ESB Help System on your system from the product installation launchpad.

Before you begin

For i5/OS operating system Note: On i5/OS® platforms: The IBM WebSphere ESB Help System must be installed on a Windows® client.

The installation wizard for the IBM WebSphere ESB Help System (help system) requires a working Internet connection to download documentation. Without an Internet connection, the installation wizard stops and asks you to connect your computer and restart the installation process.

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). 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.

About this task

Product documentation is available in the help system, which you can install from the product installation launchpad. The help system installation wizard guides you through the installation of documentation into an existing help system, if you have one, and can also install a new help system.

You can start and use the help system in either stand-alone mode or server mode. In stand-alone mode, the help system acts as a personal help system. In server (or information center) mode, the help system acts as a public documentation server and allows other Web browsers on your network to connect to the help system on a specified port.
