What to do next
If you downloaded the help
to either a server or your computer:- You can choose to enable automatic
updates. 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 archive file is restarted and an internet connection exists.
If you choose to leave the Automatic Updates check
box cleared, you can manually update content.
If you downloaded the help to a server:- Provide users with the server, the port, and the path
to the help system to enter in the Help System Configuration page
in IBM® Installation Manager.
Ensure that the server you provide is not localhost.
