The Rational® Developer
for System z® help system
is configured to use remote help so that you can pull in content from
the Web dynamically. With remote help, you always have the latest
content available from within Rational Developer
for System z. Some help
systems are not configured to access help content on the Web; in such
cases, help content is included with the installation.
You can obtain help three ways. One of these options is best for
you, depending on your needs and situation:
- The help content can be accessed on the Web so that you can have
the smallest installation footprint and the most up-to-date information.
- The help content can be downloaded and accessed on your computer
so that you can work disconnected from the Internet with periodic
updates.
- The help content can be deployed on an intranet server so that
you can work behind a firewall with administrative updates.
You can change your access decision at any time. If you install
multiple products together, you can use different locations for the
help for each product, depending on installation footprint, frequency
of use, and internet policies. If internet speed is an issue, a longer
one-time download and local access might be preferable. Later help
updates include only differences.
