Configuring Rational Focal Point help

After installing Rational® Focal Point™, an administrator can configure the help system to either access the contents from a remote ibm.com site or from the locally installed help. The remote help is set as the default help option. If the internet connection to publib.boulder.ibm.com is enabled in the server, the help contents are retrieved from the online information center and displayed in the help.
