About ChorusOS 5.0 Documentation

Installing and Viewing ChorusOS Online AnswerBook2 Documentation

An AnswerBook2 documentation collection is a set of documents that you can view using a web browser. Users can share AnswerBook2 collections across a network through a web browser-based interface. You can use the AnswerBook2 system as you would any library: you can browse, search, bookmark, and print the information.

To use the AnswerBook2 delivery of the ChorusOS 5.0 documentation, you will need:

See the document Installing and Administering an AnswerBook2 Server on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html for a more complete description of the AnswerBook2 documentation installation process.

The following AnswerBook2 packages containing the ChorusOS documentation collections in AnswerBook2 format are available with the ChorusOS 5.0 documentation delivery:

SUNWewdab

ChorusOS 5.0 Application Developer Collection

SUNWewfab

ChorusOS 5.0 Reference Target Collection

SUNWewiab

ChorusOS 5.0 Installation Collection

SUNWewmab

ChorusOS 5.0 Reference Manual Collection

SUNWewyab

ChorusOS 5.0 System Administrator Collection

After downloading the ChorusOS 5.0 products via a web distribution you will find an archive chorus-answerbooks.zip in the download_dir directory.

Extract the AnswerBook2 documentation packages:


$ cd extract_dir
$ sh download_dir/part_number/extract.sh -only

The AnswerBook2 packages are now under extract_dir/part_number/chorus-answerbooks/pkgs.

Log in to the system on which the AnswerBook2 server is located and become root:


$ rlogin ab2_server 
$ su - 
Password: root_password

Use the pkgadd utility to install the AnswerBook2 packages on the system.


$ pkgadd -d extract_dir/part_number/chorus-answerbooks/pkgs all

If you want to select an AnswerBook2 package to install, name the package instead of using 'all'. For example to install the ChorusOS 5.0 Installation Collection in AnswerBook2 format, use:


$ pkgadd -d extract_dir/part_number/chorus-answerbooks/pkgs SUNWewiab

Each AnswerBook2 package includes a post-installation script that adds the collection to the server's database and restarts the server. At this point, the AnswerBook2 collections should be visible through your web browser at http://ab2_server:8888, where ab2_server is the hostname of the system on which you installed the documentation collections.

The AnswerBook2 product allows you to view and print a variety of information, including AnswerBook2 collections and older "AnswerBooks" (previously accessed through the AnswerBookTM script).
