The IBM® Rational® Developer for System z® help system is configured to use
Web-based help, which obtains content dynamically from the Internet
With Web-based help, you always have the latest content available
for 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. Contact
your system administrator for information about accessing helps from
an intranet address.
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. See the following topics for more
information about setting up and changing your help access method:
