Installing online help on Windows

Use this procedure to install online help on Microsoft Windows. You must install the online help on BMC Remedy Mid tier.

Before you begin

If you have downloaded the application and to ensure that all of the help files are extracted correctly, you must use WinZip or another similar utility to extract them and not the default .zip file utility that comes with Microsoft Windows.

To install online help on Windows

  1. Run the setup.exe online help installation executable file.
    The executable file is located in the Help directory, which you access from one of the following locations:
    • If your files are on a DVD, Help is under the root directory.
    • If you downloaded the application, you access Help from the top level of the working directory that holds the files you extracted after downloading them.
  2. Use the planning spreadsheet to enter the necessary information.

This version of the documentation is no longer supported. However, the documentation is available for your convenience. You will not be able to leave comments.

    Best Regards,

    Madhu

    I can't see "Download Additional Products" tab from EPD.

     I can  see only "Profiles","Licensed Products" ,"Product Patches" and "Trail Products " tabs from EPD.

      No Madhu, I am directing a question to the person who provided the information to you about where to download the help files. I am asking him to clarify about the "Download Additional Products" tab on the EPD site. The note that you received was from me, to let you know that the question is asked.

    Hi,

    Thank you

      Hello Luismiguel, just to clarify, have you already tried to get the help installation file from the EPD site: Download Additional Products > Select the R filter > Go to Remedy Change Management Application 8.1.00 > Download Help Systems-BMC Remedy ITSM Applications?

      If you have, and you are still not able to download the help installation files, then please open a ticket with BMC Customer support. 

      Let me know if I have misunderstood your request.

      Thanks.

    Hi Bruce,

    I have already downloaded it from Service Desk 8.1->Help Systems, I guess that it doesn´t matter. But It is not working, I have already opened a ticket.

    Thank you

      Ah, ok ... yes, in that case the customer support ticket is the best way to proceed. Thanks for confirming that for me Luismiguel. Good luck with it.

    It would also be useful to know where to run the setup files. Is it supposed to be on your app server(s) or on the mid-tier(s)? If on app servers in a server group, does it have to be run in a particular order like other server group installs?

      Hi Kelly, I've asked someone who deals with installation issues to get back to you.

      Hi Kelly, 

      You must install the online help on the mid-tier. 

      Thanks,
