Downloading help content from the web

You can install the help plug-ins on your computer to make the help content available when you cannot connect to the public information center or when you are disconnected from your intranet.

Before you begin

When you install the Eclipse client using Installation Manager, on the Help System configuration page select Download help and access the content locally, and then complete the installation.

Procedure

  1. Start the Eclipse client.
  2. Wait for the local help server to finish loading. Do not click anything until the server finishes loading.
  3. After the local help server initializes, click Help > Local Help Updater. The Local Help Updater opens in a web browser.
  4. In the Available Content section, expand Rational® Asset Manager and then expand the release number.
  5. Select Rational Asset Manager Documentation. If you want translations also, select Rational Asset Manager Documentation – Translations. You cannot install the translations only.
  6. Click Install. Wait until the progress bar completes and a window indicates that the plug-ins were installed. The installation location for a stand-alone Eclipse client is /help/work/eclipse/. If Rational Asset Manager is installed in a shell-sharing environment with Rational Team Concert, the plug-ins are installed into the /help/updates directory.
  7. Select Automatic Updates to automatically detect updates when the local help server is restarted.
  8. When updates are detected, right-click the refresh icon next to the feature name and then click Update.
  9. Restart the Eclipse client, and then click Help > Help Contents to verify that the help contents are available.
