Loading Help Files

Each product has help files that you may load to your HELP minidisk or to a minidisk or Shared File System directory of your choice.

These instructions assume that you have installed the program product materials as described in the appropriate CA VM product installation guide, and are logged on to the CA Mainframe VM Product Manager administration user ID.

  1. Define the appropriate HELP disk on the HELP tag in the VMSERVER NAMES file entry for the HELP files you want to deploy. The supplied default value for the CA Mainframe VM Product Manager is defined in the VMSERVER NAMES file entry for VMANAGER as a comment. Change the value to define a minidisk by entering a userid and a minidisk address, or define an SFS directory by entering the fully qualified directory name. The supplied default value for the HELP tag in each product is VMANAGER HELP. This indirect tag reference results in loading HELP for every product to the same minidisk or directory.
  2. Issue this command to deploy the HELP files for a deployed product release: 
    VMDEPLOY name HELP
    name

    Specifies the product user ID for the HELP files being deployed.

    HELP

    Specifies that code is being deployed to the HELP disk as defined in the VMSERVER NAMES file.

When you have loaded these files to your system, make them available to your users by adding them to your HELP facility. For more information about the HELP facility, refer to the appropriate IBM documentation.
