A network administrator can provide help content to users
from an intranet server. By creating a connection to the remote help,
you can update the help to offer users the latest help content between
releases. With remote help, less space is used on user computers and
users can receive additional information that might not get installed
with the product.

Before you can configure the help content to access help from
an intranet server, the administrator must complete this procedure
during package installation:

- Add the help.war file to the server.
- Download the help content to the server.
- In the Install wizard Features pane
of the product installation, select Access help from a
server on your intranet and define the host, port, and
path details.
