You can certainly dig the html files out of the Eclipse plugin directory
and move them somewhere else. I don't have a TSM 5.3 documentation CD,
but I imagine the files are packaged as a doc.zip file within the plugin
directory, and there is probably a different directory for each book.
There will also be a toc.xml file for each plugin, which you may need to
use to build a new table of contents page if you don't use Eclipse.

I use the Eclipse help system for all my local documentation, and I find
it very handy. It lets me put all the product manuals and my custom
documentation in one place, with one unified look and feel.

About the help system

The IBM WebSphere Help System is a viewer for displaying product or
application information developed as Eclipse documentation plug-ins. The
system provides a graphical user interface for browsing and searching
online documentation. The help system includes open source software
developed by the Eclipse Project (www.eclipse.org
<http://www.eclipse.org/> ) and only works with information that has
been packaged as an Eclipse documentation plug-in.

The help system uses a web server that is included with the system. The
web server uses a random port to avoid port conflicts among
applications.

Product or application developers can create their own documentation
plug-ins for viewing by their users. To learn about creating and
packaging documentation plug-ins, see the Eclipse Project
www.eclipse.org <http://www.eclipse.org/> .

I have an internal web server that I want to add the contents of this CD
to.   The documentation talks about copying the contents to your hard
drive or a file share and then starting a .BAT file to start a web
server on your own PC.  I want to add the contents of the CD to an
establish in house web server.

Hi Norman - you should be able to just copy the contents of the CD to a
local system and use the IC_start.bat file to start the Web server.
There's a file named "installing_and_managing.html" on the publications
CD that provides more details.


Is there a way to copy the TSM 5.3 publication CD to an internal web
server have it accessible by internal clients?  I don't want to copy the
CD and pass it around.  This would be an internal IIS server.
