Use these instructions to download and install the information
center for WebSphere® Premises Server on
your local system.
Before you begin
These instructions require Internet access and a machine running
on a Windows® operating system
to which you can download content. If you find a difference between
these instructions and the instructions that accompany the IBM® User Interface Help System Built
on Eclipse that you download, follow the latter instructions.
Procedure
- Download the ZIP file that contains the IBM User Interface Help System Built on Eclipse
to a machine running on the Windows operating
system. The help system is a download available from the
following IBM Web site: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/iehs
Note: The Requirements tab
on IBM alphaWorks® Web page lists the platform
requirements for the IBM User
Interface Help System Built on Eclipse.
- Extract the ZIP file content to a directory on your local
system.
- Read the installation instructions located in the installation_directory/IBM_Help_301_Win/getting_started.html file,
where installation_directory is the directory
into which you extracted the ZIP file content. This file
describes how to set up a local information center.
- Run the installation_directory/IBM_Help_301_Win/ibm_help/help_start.bat file. If a browser window opens with an empty information center,
then you are successful. If not, troubleshoot the issue beginning
with the documentation that is provided in the getting_started.html file.
- Run the installation_directory/IBM_Help_301_Win/ibm_help/help_end.bat file
to stop the help system.
- Download the documentation plug-in ZIP files from the product
Library page: http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/premises_server/library/index.html
- Extract the plug-in contents to the installation_directory/IBM_Help_301_Win/ibm_help/eclipse/plugins directory. See the getting_started.html document for
more information on installing the plug-ins.
- Start the help system using the installation_directory/IBM_Help_301_Win/ibm_help/help_start.bat file.
Results
Your documentation plug-in is available in your local help
system. You can also download and use additional documentation plug-ins
from other IBM or third-party
vendors that use an Eclipse-based help system like the IBM User Interface Help System.
