If you installed a subset of the IBM® Connections applications, remove the help
files associated with the applications that you did not install from
the help table of contents. If you add an application, or install IBM Connections Mail, you can add
that product's help to the table of contents.
Before you begin
This procedure is not required.
About this task
The help system enables users to navigate from the help for
one application to another application by providing a table of contents
that lists each application as a separate section and includes help
topics within the section. However, if you choose to install only
a subset of the available applications, you must manually remove the
other help sections from the help system table of contents after installing
the product or users see help for applications to which they do not
have access. You can also add help if you add an application.
Procedure
- Start the wsadmin client from the following directory of
the system where you installed the deployment manager:
app_server_root\profiles\dm_profile_root\bin
Note: You
must start the client from this directory or subsequent commands that
you try to run will not execute properly. See Starting the wsadmin
client for more details.
- Enter the following command to access the IBM Connections configuration files:
execfile("connectionsConfig.py")
- Enter the following command to specify which applications
you want to include in the help system's table of contents:
Important: If you want to add an extra application
to the existing help, you still need to list all the applications
for which you are already providing help. Only the help files for
applications that you list as parameters in the LCConfifigHelp.setHelp command
will appear in the table of contents.
LCConfigHelp.setHelp("temp_directory","application_name","application_name")
where:
For example, if you installed all the applications except Wikis
and Connections Mail, you can run the following command to include
all sections but Wikis and Connections Mail in the help system:
LCConfigHelp.setHelp("c:/temp","activities","blogs","bookmarks","communities","files","forums","homepage","profiles")
- To force the table of contents in the help system to reflect
the change, stop the help application, and delete the temporary help
directory on each node where help runs.
For example,
delete the following directory: C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\temp\node-name\cluster-name\Help.
This
directory is recreated when the application restarts.
Results
When a user opens the product help system, the table of contents
lists only those sections that you wanted it to include. Attention: If a help topic links to a topic in a section that
you have removed from the help system, the link text continues to
be displayed, but returns an error when clicked.
