You can install help content on your computer and access it locally from your Rational® DOORS® client. To do so, install the local help on your computer from the remote IBM® information center or from an internal site that is configured on your network by an administrator. Administrators can also install help content on a shared server on your intranet.
Before you begin
Typically, this task is done on a computer where the Rational DOORS client is installed. If you are installing the help on an intranet server where Rational DOORS is not installed, you must first deploy the help system infrastructure on that server. Then, you can install help content.
About this task
The help delivery system is packaged as a web archive (.war) file and is installed with Rational DOORS. The .war file contains the basic help infrastructure that is required to run a help system and minimal product-specific information. By default, the Rational DOORS client accesses help content from a remote IBM information center. You can install the help content locally on your computer by using the Local Help Updater. If you have Internet access, the Local Help Updater installs the help from the remote IBM information center. If you do not have Internet access, you can configure the Local Help Updater to install the help from help archive file. You or an administrator can download the help archive file to your computer or to a server on your network.
