Loading Document Libraries

Document libraries from other locations can be configured to make them visible to those who are accessing Doc Assistant from a particular location. For this, create a  help.ini  file at the following location:

<inst_dir>/tools.<port>/cda/config/

Pre-Defined Document Libraries

To load a pre-defined set of libraries, add the following to the help.ini file:

[library]

<installation_directory1>/doc/xmlreg/lnx86/library.lbr

<installation_directory2>/doc/xmlreg/lnx86/library.lbr

If Doc Assistant is installed on a network location, you might have more than one user accessing Doc Assistant. If multiple users need to access different document libraries, you can set a CDS_SITE environment variable that points to a common help.ini file and specify multiple libraries in this file. The CDS_SITE environment variable ensures that all the libraries in the help.ini file can be accessed by more than one user accessing Doc Assistant installed on a network location.

Document libraries in environment variables

• Adding libraries in the PATH variable
  
  If your Doc Assistant installation location is mentioned in the PATH environment variable, you can specify the USE_PATH entry in the  help.ini  file in a new line. This enables Doc Assistant to load all the document libraries from the hierarchies in the PATH environment.

  You can also specify any doc folder paths in the help.ini file under this variable to allow Doc Assistant to load the library while launching.

• Loading multiple document libraries

  To load multiple document hierarchies, set the CDA_DOC environment variable as follows:

  • On a Windows machine, set the value of the variable as:
    "<install_dir1>\doc;<install_dir2>\doc"
  • On a Linux machine, set the value of the variable as:
    "<install_dir1>/doc:<install_dir2>/doc"
