Installing online help for the administrative console

It is strongly recommended that you install the online help files for the WebSphere Process Server administrative console before using the console. Online help for the failed event manager, relationship manager, and all other WebSphere Process Server console pages (excluding those related to business processes and tasks, Common Event Infrastructure, and Common Base Event browser) is not automatically installed with the product. You must install it separately.

Before you begin

Draft comment:
Reviewers: This topic will be reviewed/approved separately, as part of the online help review/approval. Jennifer Ciroli will keep me apprised of any changes to content through comments to the Final Draft of Installing topics in the Team Room.
Ensure that you have already installed the WebSphere Process Server product.

Steps for this task

  1. Download the compressed file from the WebSphere Process Server Information Center, saving it to your local machine. The file is located in the Help files for the administrative console area of the information center.
  2. If you have the administrative console open, close it now. The console cannot be running during the help installation.
  3. Ensure that you have root privileges on a Linux or UNIX system, or that you are a member of the Administrator group on a Windows system.
  4. Extract the contents of the WebSphere Process Server administrative console online help into the install_root\systemApps\adminconsole.ear\adminconsole.war directory.
    Important: When extracting the help files, make sure you specify the following options:
    • Extracted files must be able to overwrite existing files of the same name
    • The extraction process must preserve folder names
  5. Restart the administrative console.
    Important: If the extraction process cannot overwrite the existing files in the install_root\systemApps\adminconsole.ear\adminconsole.war directory, stop the application server and then extract the compressed file. After the contents have been extracted, restart the application server.
    Draft comment:
    Shouldn’t "application server" be replaced by "process server"?
