If your team has limited access to the Internet, you can
download a compressed archive file that contains the help contents.
You can use the archive file to install help on your local computer
or you can configure an internal help server on your intranet to provide
help content for the entire team.
About this task
The archive file is available on an IBM download site.
The name of the archive file includes a product and version identifier
and the suffix updateSite.zip.
You can download a help archive
file to fulfill any of these objectives:
- Place the archive file on your computer and install help content
locally on your computer using the Local Help Updater.
- Place the archive file on a shared server on your intranet. Team
members can designate this archive file as an internal site when they
run the Local Help Updater and install help content locally on their
computers. This option provides local help to team members that do
not have Internet access.
- Place the archive file on a shared server on your intranet. Deploy
the help delivery system in an application server on the shared location
and then install the help content into that help system by using the
Local Help Updater. Team members can then direct their Rational DOORS
clients to access help from that intranet server. This option provides
intranet help to team members that do not have Internet access.
Procedure
- On a computer with Internet access, download
the compressed help content file for your product and version from
the Help download site at http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/documentation/updatesites/.
The file has this format: prod_coden.n_updateSite.zip,
where prod_code is the product code and n.n is
the version number.
- On the computer where you are installing the
help content or on a shared network location, copy this compressed
archive file. Do not extract the file.
What to do next
You and other team members can now install the help content
from the archive file by using the Local Help Updater tool. If other
team members need access to the archive file, provide a fully qualified
path to the archive file so that team members can reach it from their
Local Help Updater tool.
