Stopping the help system

When you close the help system browser, the help system processes continue to run in the background. (This enables a much faster launch during subsequent sessions.) You must stop these help system processes when you install documentation plug-ins or update the help system with new plug-ins. Completely shutting down the help system also frees up system memory.

Optional: To stop a help system that was started from the hard drive (Windows platform):
1. Open the folder for the Windows platform.
2. Double-click the WebSphere help end.bat file.
Optional: To stop a help system that was started from the hard drive (other platforms):

2. Optional: (Other platforms) Run the help_cd_end.sh file in the folder for your platform on the CD.
