Categorizing help plug-ins

In the z/OSMF help system, a task and its panel help plug-in are included in the same category, and the task’s message help plug-in is listed under the z/OSMF messages category, where all z/OSMF messages are listed. This structure ensures consistency across z/OSMF tasks, making it easier for users to find relevant content.

To categorize the panel and message help plug-ins, on the <toc> element in the toc.xml file, specify the appropriate URL for the link_to attribute. Table 1 lists the URL to use for each z/OSMF category. For example, to add the message help plug-in to the z/OSMF messages category, type the following value: link_to="../com.ibm.zosmfmessages.help.doc/izuAllhpzOSMFMessages.xml#messages".
