This document describes the features of the Software AG documentation that make it easy for you to navigate to the page you need, to search for keywords, and to print out relevant parts.
At the top and bottom of most pages you will find a navigation bar that helps you to navigate through the documentation. The navigation bar contains some or all of the following links:
Choosing on the first page of a documentation module takes you up one level in the documentation hierarchy.
Choosing on the last page of a documentation module takes you back to the first page of the same module.
The navigator facility is a Java applet that runs in a separate window. Invoke it by choosing either or from the navigation bar on the HTML page.
The navigator software is supplied by PHD Computer Consultants Ltd.

displays a collapsible/expandable, hierarchical tree view of the documentation, which helps you find your way through the documentation web. You can select in the tree view the document that interests you, then either choose the document title or choose .

Software AG documentation uses active content (JavaScript and Java applets). With Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows XP, Microsoft introduced a range of powerful new security features. One effect of these security features is that warning messages appear whenever you try to display HTML pages that use active content, for example Software AG documentation, in the Internet Explorer. A typical warning message that appears in the Internet Explorer information bar is:
 |
Warning: To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options... |
To continue using the documentation, you can do one of the following:
Use a different web browser. This problem only affects Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
Note:
Software AG does not endorse or recommend any web browser.
Change the Internet Explorer options to allow active content to run in files on your computer.
To unblock active content
In the Microsoft Internet Explorer:
Choose > .
Choose the tab Advanced.
Scroll down to the section Security.
Check (tick) the box Allow active content to run in files on My Computer.
Choose .
Restart the Internet Explorer.
The warning messages should now no longer appear.
Click on the information bar and choose the option . You will have to do this for each affected page.
