Installing local help on your computer

You can install help content on your computer and access it locally from your product. To do so, install the local help on your computer from the remote help archive site or from an internal site that is configured on your network by an administrator. Administrators can also install help content on a shared server on your intranet.

Before you begin

Typically, this task is done on a computer where the product is installed. If you are installing the help on an intranet server where the product is not installed, you must first deploy the help system infrastructure on that server. Then, you can install help content.

About this task

By default, the product accesses help content from the remote IBM® Knowledge Center. You can install the help content or updates locally on your computer by using the Local Help Updater. If you have Internet access, the Local Help Updater installs the help from the remote help archive site. If you do not have Internet access, you can configure the Local Help Updater to install the help from a downloaded help archive file. You or an administrator can download the help archive file to your computer or to a server on your network.
