The Help Administration page provides access to all of the tools you use to administer your help server.
You can open the Help Administration page by entering this URL in a browser: http://server:port/help-name/updater/admin.jsp. To determine the server name, port, and help name, see Accessing the tools by forming URLs below.
If you do not use the Help Administration page, you can access most of the tools individually by using the URLs that are listed in the following table.

Accessing the tools by forming URLs
If you are trying to access a tool but cannot identify the server, port, and help name in its URL, you can copy a topic link and edit it to form the URL for the tool you want to use.
- In the Rational® DOORS® client and click .
- In the Contents pane, right-click a topic and then click the menu item to copy the URL, such as Copy Link Location, Copy Shortcut, or Copy Link Address. The URL is in this format: http://server:port/help-name/topic/plug-in/topics/topic.html
- Log on to the server or the computer that hosts the help system.
- Paste the URL in a browser.
- Replace server with localhost or 127.0.0.1.
- Remove the topic information from the end of the URL: /topic/plug-in/topics/topic.html
- Add the appropriate URL ending for the Help Administration page or for any of the other tools in the table.
Example for identifying the Help Administration page:
- Before: http://server.ibm.com:51528/help/topic/com.ibm.help.common.rational.doc/topics/c_overview_rational.html
- After: http://127.0.0.1:51528/help/updater/admin.jsp
