This guide is installed with the product as an HTML-based help system. This help system is located in the help subdirectory of the product installation directory. You can use the help system with any of the following browsers:
*Microsoft Edge on Windows 10
*Internet Explorer 7.x and higher
*Firefox 3.x and higher
*Safari 5.x
*Google Chrome 44.x and earlier
On all platforms, you can access the entire Help system by opening the following file from within your browser:
install_dir/help/OracleHelp/index.html
where install_dir is the path to the product installation directory.
Or, from a command-line environment, at a command prompt, enter:
browser_exe install_dir/help/OracleHelp/index.html
where browser_exe is the name of your browser executable and install_dir is the path to the product installation directory.
After the browser opens, the left pane displays the Table of Contents, Index, and Search tabs for the entire documentation library. When you have opened the main screen of the Help system in your browser, you can bookmark it in the browser for quick access later.
Note: Security features set in your browser can prevent the Help system from launching. A security warning message is displayed. Often, the warning message provides instructions for unblocking the Help system for the current session. To allow the Help system to launch without encountering a security warning message, the security settings in your browser can be modified. Check with your system administrator before disabling any security features.
Help is also available from the setup dialog box for each driver. When you click Help, your browser opens to the correct topic without opening the help Table of Contents. A grey toolbar appears at the top of the browser window.
