7.1. WebHelp or installed help?

The help (call via F1) can either be obtained from the web or the local installation.

By default, the installed help is used. For this you don't have to make any adjustments.

[Note]Note

Of course the help files have to be installed. (If not yet done, they can be installed subsequently via installer anytime.)

When using the WebHelp you will possibly benefit from subsequent improvements.

A respective adjustment is made via the parameter inethelp, the value of which is either set on 0 (default, locally installed help) or 1 (WebHelp).

The following matrix shows for which combinations of parameter value and Help installed (Yes/No) which help is used.

Parameter value

Help installed (Yes/No)

0 (default)

Yes

-> Help installed on the Server/Client or single-user computer is used

0 (default)

No

-> No help available

1

Yes

-> WebHelp is used

1No

-> WebHelp is used

Depending on whether it is about a single-user installation or a client-server installation, the settings have to be made differently.

  • Single-user installation:

    In order to use the WebHelp, do the following:

    In $CADENAS_SETUP/pappclient.cfg, block common, create the key Inethelp with value 1.

    [common]
    Inethelp=1

    [Note]Note

    The key does not exist by default.

  • Client-Server installation:

    In order to use the WebHelp, do the following:

    1. Server:

      Under $CADENAS_SETUP/pappclient.cfg, block common, add the key Inethelp with value 1.

      [common]
      Inethelp=1

    2. Clients:

      During the installation under Destination Folder "Installation type" -> Software Local, data and setup from the app server -> Appserver URL set the parameter "inethelp=1" in addition.

      CADENAS_APPSERVER=https://servername.cadenas.internal?sslport=9022&inethelp=1
      

      If you want to switch to WebHelp later, call the installation procedure via Windows Start menu -> Add or remove programs again.

      As above, under Appserver URL, set the parameter "inethelp=1".

      CADENAS_APPSERVER=https://servername.cadenas.internal?sslport=9022&inethelp=1
