If you must access help content from a computer that does
not have an Internet connection, you can install the help content
from a file that you can obtain from the IBM® Local
Help System Updater website. You must download the help content
file using a computer that has Internet access and copy the file to
the computer without Internet access.
Procedure

help-content file for your product 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 that has your product installed, but does
not have Internet access, copy this compressed file.
- With your product open, click . Click the Local Help Updater button
if it appears and the Updater site opens.
- On the Local Help Updater page, click
the Plus sign (+) in the upper-right.
- On the Add Internal Site dialog box,
click Local, and enter or browse to the location of the compressed
file in the File field.
- Click OK in the Add Internal
Site window.
- On the Local Help Updater page, expand
this site in the Site list.
- Select the help content features that you want to install
from the list provided, and click Install. A progress bar tracks the progress of the installation.

Results
The help that you selected is installed and is available from
your product.
If you downloaded content from a remote site, that
site was added to the Favorites Sites list.
You can filter the Available Content site to
display only the Favorites Sites. By default, the Automatic
Updates option is not selected in the Local
Help Updater. If you select the Automatic Updates option,
you receive updated content from the help update
site (ibm.com) and the sites in the Favorites Sites list
when the help WAR file is restarted and an internet connection exists. If you choose to leave the Automatic
Updates check box cleared, you can manually update content.
