Business Automation Workflow links
to the current version of the online documentation. If you need to
work offline, you must download the documentation files, install them
in a local directory and redirect the help requests to the local Knowledge
Center (KCCI).
Before you begin
The
following prerequisites must be met:
- To perform this task, your user ID must be associated with the
Administrator role.
- A working Internet connection is required to download documentation
files.
About this task
The documentation for Business Automation Workflow is available
at the IBM
Business Automation Workflow Knowledge Center. When
you launch a help topic from the Business Automation Workflow product,
you are using this site to access the current version of this information.
For example, if you click the Help link, the help topic is launched
in the external knowledge center. If you want to work offline, you
need to download the documentation to a local directory and redirect
the help requests to the local knowledge center. When there is a new
release of the product, you need to update your installed documentation
to keep it current.
Procedure
To use the Business Automation Workflow documentation
from a local directory, follow these steps.
- Download the Business Automation Workflow Knowledge
Center. For details, see IBM® Business Automation
Workflow Knowledge
Center downloadable content.
- In every Business Automation Workflow installation
that hosts application cluster members of your deployment environment,
unzip the content to the
<install_root>/BPM/KnowledgeCenter/usr/content/SS8JB4
directory.
If files with the same names are detected in the destination directory,
replace the existing files.
- If the
<install_root>/temp/KnowledgeCenter/runtime/index
directory
exists, delete it so that the search index will be rebuilt with the
newly installed content.
- Delete the external knowledge center endpoint by using
the
deleteBPMEndpoint
command on the deployment manager:
AdminTask.deleteBPMEndpoint( [ '-scenario', 'PUBLIC_KC' ] )
When you click a help link from Business Automation Workflow, the
help topic is launched from the local directory where you downloaded
the documentation.
- To switch back to the online knowledge center, on the deployment
manager, use the
setBPMEndpoint
command: AdminTask.setBPMEndpoint( [ '-scenario', 'PUBLIC_KC', '-url', 'https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter' ]
For
Business Automation Workflow version
18.0.0.0, use the following command:
AdminTask.setBPMEndpoint( [ '-scenario', 'PUBLIC_KC', '-url', 'https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS8JB4_18.0.0' ]
