Starting the Help system

For the help system to function, the Help system server must be running. By default, the Help system is installed on the same server as the Console; however, you can specify a different server for the Help system during the Console installation.

You can confirm the help system location by checking the value of the ibm.bcg.help.host property in the bcg_console.properties file, located in {INSTALL DIR}/console/lib/config/bcg_console.properties. If the value for the help server location is localhost, your local machine will be used for the help system.

To start the Help system, run one of the following scripts:

Note:
For Windows systems, the window that is used to run the bcgStartHelp script must remain open for the help server to continue running.
