Editing An Existing Help File

You can edit an existing help file to customize the content to meet specific requirements of your organization. For example, you can remove or change the SunONE.jpg image or meta text that is currently displayed on the sample help files, or replace the help file completely with a file of the same name.

After modifying the file, run the PortalServer-base/bin/psadmin redeploy --adminuser amadmin --passwordfile passwordfile --portal portal-ID command to deploy the file into the web-app location.

This method of modifying the online help files is useful if you use the sample providers that are shipped with the Portal Server software.

For example, if you use the UserInfoProvider that ships with the Portal Server product, the display profile for that provider already defines the helpURL value as desktop/userinfo.htm. By editing the help file userinfo.htm, no changes to the display profile are necessary.
