Getting Started

Introduction to the documentation library download

The BusinessObjects XI 3.0 documentation library covers all products and their deployment. The library is available as an Eclipse help plugin. Using Eclipse, you can browse user documentation, do full-text searches, and bookmark or print pages.

The library is available in the following languages: English (en), French (fr), German (de), Dutch (nl), Italian (it), Spanish (es), Japanese (ja), Korean (ko), Chinese, (zh_CN), and Traditional Chinese (zh_TW).

These instructions tell you how to download the library and deploy it in your Eclipse help or as an Eclipse Infocenter.

These instructions are intended for the Information Technology administrator responsible for the Eclipse Infocenter server.

The library download files consist of compressed archives containing Eclipse plugin files. You must download the Documentation Library archive,

xi3_doclib.zip. It contains an archive of plugins for the library contents in

US English and an archive containing library navigation files.

Optionally, you can download and deploy the library in any number of other languages. The Language Pack archives, xi3_doclib_locale.zip, contain the plugins for the library in the language specified by the locale.

Requirements to install the documentation library

You need a server to host the Eclipse Infocenter, with:

• A Java Runtime Environment installed.

• Internet access to download Eclipse software and the documentation

library.

• Standard decompression software, for example WinZIP.

• Sufficient disk space to install Eclipse. The disk space required will vary

depending on your operating system. See the requirements at the Eclipse organization site in the related topics.
