As of Release 8207.26, WebFOCUS Help is configured, by default, to use Online Help that is hosted by our servers.

Verifying Downloaded Files

The software download page provides download links for obtaining the installation package and other supporting files that may be available for each product.

All files posted on the download site are signed by the release manager, using the SHA-512 algorithm. SHA-512 checksums are available, along with the files (file.sha512).

File hashes are used to check that a file has been downloaded correctly.
