Downloading the product documentation on your computer

To consult the product documentation locally, you must download the documentation files on your computer.

Before you begin

The Local help system option is not checked by default in the Installation Manager. If you intend to consult the product documentation locally, check this option to install the local help environment, if it is not already installed.

About this task

To consult the documentation locally, you must first download the documentation files and then start the local help. The download of the files requires you to have access to the internet. This access will no longer be required later.

Procedure

Open the http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/websphere/dmanager/doc/v880 page.
Download the ODMv880.zip file.
Extract the files in <InstallDir>/doc/usr/content/dmanager/v8r8m0.
Start the help system in one of the following ways:
- In the Start menu, click All Programs > IBM > package_group > Help and Support > Start Knowledge Center (local).
  
  package_group refers to the package group specified in IBM® Installation Manager during installation.
- Run the following script:
  - <InstallDir>/doc/bin/launchKC.bat on Windows
  - <InstallDir>/doc/bin/launchKC.sh on Linux.
  A new browser window opens and displays the welcome page. Select IBM Operational Decision Manager 8.8.0 to display the documentation content. To run the knowledge center in a locale other than English, select your language preference in IBM Knowledge Center by selecting a language from the list.
  
  Important:
  If you installed the product on Windows 7 in the Program Files or Program Files (x86) directory without administrator privileges, you might not be able to start the help system. To avoid potential issues, be sure to install the product with administrator rights or in a different directory.
On the left hand side menu, click IBM Operational Decision Manager 8.8.0 to display the local help content.
