The Rational® Performance Tester help
system is configured to use remote help so that you can pull in content
from the Web dynamically. With remote help, you always have the latest
content available from within your product.
Your product is configured to use remote help. You can obtain help
three ways. Accessing help from an ibm.com server on the Internet
is the default. The other two ways to access help are from a local
installation on your computer or from a Web application server installed
on your corporate intranet. One of these options will be best for
you, depending on your needs and situation:
- The help content can be accessed on the Web so that you can have
the smallest installation footprint and the most up-to-date information.
- The help content can be downloaded and accessed on your computer
so that you can work disconnected from the Internet with periodic
updates.
- The help content can be deployed on an intranet server so that
you can work behind a firewall with administrative updates.
Because your help system supports remote help, you can change your
access decision any time. If you install multiple products together,
you can use different locations for the help for each product, depending
on installation footprint, frequency of use, and Internet policies.
If Internet speed is an issue, a longer one-time download and local
access might be preferable. Later help updates include only differences.
If you are an administrator and you want users to access help content
from an intranet server, see the Installation Manager information
center for instructions on how to install the help WAR file on a server.
