Changing from help on an intranet server to remote help

You can change the way you access help content. You can get the most up-to-date help content by opening help each time from the web.

Procedure

  1. On the help server, navigate to the help preferences page, https://server:port/help-name/remote/remotehelp.jsp. To find the help context root (server, port, and help-name), bring up the help from the product (? > Help contents), your URL will be https://server:port/help-name/index.jsp.
    The Preferences window opens.
  2. Ensure that Include help content from a remote infocenter is selected.
  3. Click Add and enter the Remote Help information center information:
    1. In Name, enter a name for the connection. For example, enter Help for My product.
    2. In Host, enter the Host name. For example, enter publib.boulder.ibm.com.
    3. In Path, enter the path to the help. For example, enter /infocenter/xxxhelp/v3r0/.
    4. Select Use default port if you are using the ibm.com publib information centers. If you are using a different information center, you need to enter the port used for the information center.
    5. Click Save.
  4. Verify the help by navigating to https://server:port/help-name/index.jsp, for example, https://localhost:9443/help/index.jsp or https://clmwb:9443/clmhelp/index.jsp. To find the help context root (server, port, and help-name), bring up the help from the product (? > Help contents), your URL will be https://server:port/help-name/index.jsp.
