Specify where your TeamForge site's online help comes from

By default, your site gets the latest information from http://help.collab.net, but you can use an archival copy installed on your application server instead.

Online help for TeamForge users is served by a standalone Eclipse infocenter. Under normal conditions, you should have help content served from http://help.collab.net, which is updated regularly. However, if your site is not connected to the Internet (for example, if you organization's security policy prohibits Internet connections), you can point your site's Help links to the equivalent content on the TeamForge application server.
  1. Open the master site configuration file in a text editor. For example:
    • vi /opt/collabnet/teamforge-installer/5.4.0.0/conf/site-options.conf
  2. Under "Location of Help Files" in the site-options.conf file, change the values of the HELP variables to match your preference.
    • To use a copy of the online help on your local network, set the value of the HELP_ AVAILABILITY variable to remote (this is the default value) and set the REMOTE_HELP_URL variable to the URL where you have installed the help content, like this: REMOTE_HELP_URL=http://stage.help.collab.net.
    • To use the copy of the online help that is installed on the local host, change the value of the HELP_AVAILABILITY variable to local. When users click a Help link in the application, the resulting help content is served from your application server instead of over the Web.
  3. Review the rest of the variables in the site-options.conf file to make sure their values are right for your installation, then save the file.
