Help Configuration

Help Configuration

The e-Business Framework Wizard's Help button gives you access to the online Help.

The directory nominated as the Help file location must be mapped to your Web server.

To simplify maintenance of your Web server configuration, include the help files in a sub-directory of the Images directory. For example, /images/lwizhelp.

iSeries Help

When you install or upgrade your LANSA system, the Wizard Help will be automatically installed in your LANSA system directory /WIZHELP when you load the Wizard.

If you modify the help location after installation you will need to reload the help files from the LANSA installation CD-ROM (save file LWIZHLP) to the appropriate directory.

Tip for iSeries Users

Load help files under the images directory to simplify your HTTP configuration.

Windows Help

On Windows, the help files will be automatically installed in your LANSA system directory /LWIZHELP.

Changing the Help file location

To change where your Help is accessed from, simply change the address by following this path in the Wizard:

1.	From the Home page, select the System Variables characteristics then press Go.
2.	When the Maintain System Variables page is presented modify the Default Help File Location and press the Apply button.

You can also set this address by changing graphic variable *LW3WIZHELP using the LANSA for the Web Editor. For the Wizard help to open correctly:

Enter the appropriate directory path (e.g. \mywizardhelp)
On iSeries, ensure the directory path is mapped in HTTP configuration
On Windows, ensure the directory path is defined to your web server.

The Wizard then selects the appropriate file to display from the nominated location.

For more details, refer to System Wide Graphic Variables.

Reminder: Graphic variables are system wide in LANSA. If you change the help location, all developers using the e-Business Framework Wizard must have access to this location. If you change the help file location it is your responsibility to load the Help files to the nominated location.
