Starting the help system

Use command files on your computer to start the help system.

• To start the help system in stand-alone mode, complete the following steps:
  1. Go to the directory into which you installed the help system.
  2. Run the appropriate help_start script:
     • On Linux and UNIX platforms: help_start.sh
     • On Windows platforms: help_start.bat
     It might take a few minutes for the system to start.
• To start the help system in server (information center) mode, complete the following steps:
  1. Go to the directory into which you installed the help system.
  2. Optional: Change the port on which the information center server starts.

     By default, the server starts on port 8888.

     If you want the server to start on a different port, edit the appropriate start script and change the -port setting:

     • On Linux and UNIX platforms: IC_start.sh
     • On Windows platforms: IC_start.bat

     For example, to use port 9876, type -port 9876

  3. Run the appropriate help_start script:
     • On Linux and UNIX platforms: IC_start.sh
     • On Windows platforms: IC_start.bat
