Loading Online Help
You can load online help at any time after you create the databases. If you are going to use a character client, the client and help language must be compatible, otherwise you get an error. For example, you would use client-jp.<environment_name> to load Japanese help. This restriction does not apply when using the QAD .NET UI Client, which allows you to load help for any supported language.
Also, the database must support the language being loaded. Otherwise, use the Unicode (utf-8) codepage setting.
To load online help, follow these steps:
1 From the QAD Enterprise Edition Main Menu, open Field Help Load (36.4.13.14).
2 In the Language field, enter the QAD Enterprise Edition language code for the help that you are loading, and press Enter.
3 Skip to Field Help Load File, leaving all other fields blank, and enter the two-letter language code directory and the name of the help file (fieldhlp.fhd, fieldhlp_cbf.fhd, and so on). For example, for US English, enter db/us/fieldhlp.fhd.
4 Install the following .fhd files:
• fieldhelp.fhd, which contains the help records for non-component-based functions
• fieldhelp_cbf.fhd, which contains the help records for component-based functions
• Warehouse.fhd, if you plan to use QAD Warehousing
Note: Non-component-based programs use traditional procedural, Progress-based technology. Standard and Enterprise Edition programs are not component-based, except for QAD Enterprise Financials. Component-based programs use business component-based technology. QAD Enterprise Financials is component-based, has additional features and utilities, and is navigated differently than programs that are not component-based.
5 Repeat steps
3 and
4 for each desired help file.
6 Accept the default values in all other fields.
7 Select Go to begin the load process.
As the load proceeds, the number of records read and loaded displays at the bottom of the screen.
8 Load help for any other languages in your environment using the appropriate language code and help file.
