Issue/Introduction

Is it viable to download a specific Techdoc, put it on our own internal web server, and change the "capc.help.url" attribute to point to our own reachable internal web source with a link to the specific Techdoc pdf file?  

Cause

The portal system does not have access to the external broadcom techdocs site. 

Resolution

Login to mysql: 

mysql -unetqos -p <PASSWORD> netqosportal

Run the following command from the mysql prompt:

REPLACE INTO general VALUES ('capc.help.url','https://internalserver.com/dx-netops-24-3-9-on-prem.pdf');

This redirected to the NetOps pdf file in the following URL instead of the tecdocs page.
