Downloading help content from the Help updater site

You can download help content from the Help updater site. If you have an intranet server to provide access to help content locally, you need to download the content from the IBM® Local Help System Updater Web site. You can use the Help updater site when you do not have Internet access on the server that hosts the help or when the connection is slow or unreliable.

Before you begin

This task requires that the help content be on a local server, either the product server or an intranet server. Although the server that hosts the help might not have Internet access, you must be able to connect to the Internet on another computer.
