You can install a local copy of the WebSphere ESB Information Center on your computer.
The documentation is packaged as Eclipse document plug-ins and must be viewed using the IBM WebSphere Help System. The help system (or viewer) and document plug-in format are based on an open source approach developed by the Eclipse Project. IBM product document plug-ins are contained in folders that follow a consistent naming convention (com.ibm.xxx.doc).
To view IBM product documentation in the viewer, you must install new or updated document plug-ins into the eclipse\plugins folder of the IBM WebSphere Help System. The help system works with any information that has been packaged as an Eclipse document plug-in, including IBM product document plug-ins. IBM product plug-in folders are easily identified because they use a common naming convention (com.ibm.xxx.doc).
To install document plug-ins, complete the following steps:
Detailed information about how to set up a local information center is contained in the WebSphere Help System/installing_and_managing.htm file.
When you close the viewer by simply closing its window, its processes are still running in the background. This enables a much faster launch during subsequent sessions. However, you must shut down these processes when you install document plug-ins or update the help system with new plug-ins. Shutting down the viewer when not in use also frees up system memory. When you shut down your machine, all help system processes shut down.
