When you select an item in one of the lists, the Information Center launches a
viewer to display the information. The viewer might be the system help
viewer, an editor, or a Web browser, depending on the kind of information
you select.
The Information Center provides some search capabilities, so you can look for
specific topics, and filter capabilities to limit the scope of your searches.
For a full text search, click the Search button of the Information Center follow
the Search DB2 Books link in each HTML file.
The HTML search server is usually started automatically. If a search in the

double-clicking its icon on the Windows or OS/2 desktop.
Refer to the release notes if you experience any other problems when
searching the HTML information.
Note: Search function is not available in the Linux and Silicon Graphics
environments.
Setting Up a Document Server
By default, the DB2 information is installed on your local system. This means
that each person who needs access to the DB2 information must install the
same files. To have the DB2 information stored in a single location, use the
following instructions:
1. Copy all files and subdirectories from \sqllib\doc\html on your local
system to a Web server. Each book has its own subdirectory containing all
the necessary HTML and GIF files that make up the book. Ensure that the
directory structure remains the same.
2. Configure the Web server to look for the files in the new location. For
information, see the NetQuestion Appendix in Installation and Configuration
Supplement.
3. If you are using the Java version of the Information Center, you can
specify a base URL for all HTML files. You should use the URL for the list
of books.
4. Once you are able to view the book files, you should bookmark commonly
viewed topics. Among those, you will probably want to bookmark the
following pages:
