In the docs directory, the documentation is provided for
use in the Eclipse Help System as com.ibm.softrt.aix32.doc.jar and com.ibm.softrt.aix32.doc.zip. The information
is also provided as an Adobe® PDF
file called softrt_aix32_jre.pdf.
About this task
- com.ibm.softrt.aix32.doc.jar can
be copied directly into the plug-ins directory
of your Eclipse Help System V3.1.1 or the plug-in directory
of Eclipse SDK V3.1.2 or later.
- com.ibm.softrt.aix32.doc.zip can
be unpacked into the plug-in directory of your
Eclipse Help System if the version is earlier than V3.1.1.
- softrt_aix32_jre.pdf is
for use with Adobe Acrobat.
To use the information center on your personal computer, you
install the Eclipse Help System.
Note: The information center
is also provided as a PDF, but the information has not been fully
optimized for this format.
Procedure
- Install the Eclipse Help System.
- Download the latest version of the Eclipse Help System
version from http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/iehs/download.
- Select the .zip, .tar, or .tgz file that is appropriate
for your operating system.
- Create a new directory where you plan to install the
Eclipse Help System. This directory is referred to as <INSTALL_DIR> in
the rest of this document.
- Unpack the file into, for example, /opt/<INSTALL_DIR> or C:\<INSTALL_DIR> directory
depending on your operating system. The unpacking creates
a directory called /opt/<INSTALL_DIR>/ibm_help on Linux® or C:\<INSTALL_DIR>\IBM_Help_301_Win\ibm_help on Windows®.
- Add the WebSphere® Real
Time for AIX® on 32-bit POWER® Information
Center to your Eclipse Help System.
- For Eclipse versions earlier than V3.1.1. Extract the
files from com.ibm.softrt.aix32.doc.zip into
the /opt/<INSTALL_DIR>/ibm_help/eclipse/plugins directory
on Linux or C:\<INSTALL_DIR>\IBM_Help_301_Win\ibm_help\eclipse\plugins on Windows.
- For Eclipse V3.1.1 or later. Copy com.ibm.softrt.aix32.doc.jar to the plug-in directory
in the help system. For example, this directory is /opt/<INSTALL_DIR>/ibm_help/eclipse/plugins directory
on Linux or C:\<INSTALL_DIR>\IBM_Help_301_Win\ibm_help\eclipse\plugins on Windows.
- Start the Eclipse Help System by changing directory to /opt/<INSTALL_DIR>/ibm_help and
entering help_start.
- You can use the Eclipse Help System in these ways:
- Using the search function. The first time you search, the
search pauses while indexing takes place.
- Filtering your searches. You can "Set Scope" so that it searches
only the WebSphere Real
Time for AIX on 32-bit POWER Information
Center. Follow the prompts.
- Printing. From the navigation tree, click the icon that appears
when you hover over a topic in the navigation tree. Use the pop-up
menu to select that topic or all of the subtopics associated with
that topic. Click your preference and a new window opens for you to
confirm that you want to print that part. Submit the job to your local
printer in the typical way.
- Installing on a Local Area Network. See the release notes
that come with the Eclipse Help System for more information.
- Using a CD. See the release notes that come with the Eclipse
Help System for more information.
- Close the Eclipse Help System. When you have
finished with the help system, enter help_end. Otherwise,
the next time you try to start the system, you will not be able to
start it because of a running process.
