[AIX5L]

Hi all

I have installed Docsearch an all will work properly.
I wont now to do a Remote man Call to my CWS System.
We have 20 SP-Nodes and dont wont install the Manpages on each System.
Where i can Configure this ?

AM I right in saying that docsearch allows you to search for info using the web browser ?
if so , basically you have on your CWS installed it as the web server with a URL like

http://www.cws.com/aix/library

listening on port 80 by default
on the client you will have to install client software and
point default webbrowser to

http://www.cws.com/aix/library

Os when they fireoff docsearch the web browser should fire up on their PC and way you go ?
I think the remote client users should have capability of
firing off a web browser like netscape ? i.e. have exceed, or graphical terminal?

see the following link for more details :-

However , if you want users to access man pages text base you can use automount , if you need to know how to do this let me know

Hi

I said the Docsearch will work porperly.
We dont use automount in our Environment !
I know that it gives a Configuration, that allows Remote man Search.

On your Doc Server you have to have a browser installed, httpdlite will work too, and then under smitty-system environments-internet and documentation services you set your Doc server up, and clients are setup under the same panels. On the clients in /etc/environments:
DOCUMENT_SERVER_MACHINE_NAME=set_it
DOCUMENT_SERVER_PORT=set_it
CGI_DIRECTORY=/var/docsearch/cgi-bin
DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY=/usr/docsearch/html
