-> In what top shd i upload my files using help Upload ?
Create Upload and Download Directories on Middle Tier.
     The download path must be a location on the machine that hosts the Application Server - ie, the "middle tier". Directories for the upload (for example, /u01/tutor/upload) and download (for example, /u01/tutor/download) functions must be created on the middle tier.
     ***These directories, as well as any future subdirectories, must have full read/write/execute permissions. The Help Utility will automatically create subdirectories, so the permissions must be set correctly before the Help Utility is used.
     Verify that the HELP_UTIL_DOWNLOAD_DIR directory points to a directory that can be accessed from both the JServ tier and the Concurrent Manager tier.
From the EBS
EBS R12 System Administrator > Profile > System > Find System Profile Values
- Verify Site is checked
- Verify Profiles with No Values is checked
- In the profile field, enter %help%
- Click Find button
Update system profile values with the correct paths.For example:
     Help Utility Download Path > /u01/tutor/download OR /dbfiles/applcsf/outbound
     Help Utility Upload Path > /u01/tutor/upload OR /dbfiles/applcsf/inbound
     Help System Root > FND:LIBRARY
     TCF:Host > http://<hostname.domainname>
     TCF:Port > <port number>

Use Help Builder to add the DESK_MANUAL_INDEX to the Help Tree
To learn all the features about customizing Help Navigation Trees, refer to the Oracle Applications System Administration User Guide.
EBS R12 System Administration > Help Administration > Help Builder
When Help Builder first opens it may appear as a tiny screen in the upper left corner, if this happens, maximize the screen. You may also have to resize the screen as you may see the entire screen at first.
- Enter FND in the Node Application field.
- Press the Find button on the Find Trees Window.
This should bring the Trees tab region forward with a list of available trees.
- Scroll down and find FND | US | Applications Help Library in the Trees tab
- Select and double click on it.
This will open the Applications Help Library tree in the left frame
- Expand the Application Help Library by clicking on the + next to it.
- Click the New Node icon on the toolbar.
- Enter the following information in Properties window.
The next items assume the default Desk Manual Index terminology is used.
If your organization uses or plans to use different terms, adjust the entries in the various properties field accordingly.
     Prompt: Desk Manual Index
     Description: Desk Manual Index
     Data: @DESK_MANUAL_INDEX
Or enter the exact Desk Manual Index file name if it is different than the example.
- Click the View button to verify the link works.
You may have to experiment with using the @ sign. It may not be required.
     Click the Apply button.
The Desk Manual Index will now appear as a Node under the Application Help Library. If the name is NOT fully displayed, click on the - (minus) sign to expand it.
Link does not work
- Change the information in the Data field.
- Delete the @ and add .htm extension
Example: DESK_MANUAL_INDEX.htm
- Click the View button to verify the link works.
- Click on the Save icon.
