If you have installed an IBM product that provides its documentation
in the form of Eclipse plug-ins, you can probably start the help system by
clicking on that product's menu bar. The instructions given here are
for starting the help system as a separately installed, standalone application.
- Optional: To start the help system from the hard drive
(Windows platform):
- Open the folder for the Windows platform.
- Double-click the WebSphere help start.bat file.
- Optional: To start the help system from the hard drive
(other platforms):
- Open the folder for your platform.
- Run the help_start.sh file.
- Optional: To start a help system from a CD:
- Optional: (Windows platform) Double-click the help_cd_start.bat file in the root directory of the CD.
- Optional: (Other platforms) Run the help_cd_start.sh file in the folder for your platform on the CD.
The help browser opens and the table of contents pane incorporates the documentation plug-ins that were found.
Note: The first time you start
the help system, you might have to wait a few minutes before the browser opens
and displays the information center.
