1. As a reminder, IBM Knowledge Center for z/OS is a standard, included feature of the z/OS base operating system (Version 2.2 and above). Please take advantage of it. If your mainframe is not already "self-documenting," please make it so.
2. A "local" IBM Knowledge Center is also available for the Linux, AIX, and Microsoft Windows operating systems. It is available at no additional charge if you have a license for practically any IBM software product. Yes, you can even install the IBM Knowledge Center on your Linux or Windows PC, download and install desired documentation, and read/search documentation offline. To obtain the IBM Knowledge Center for these other operating systems, please log onto your IBM Passport Advantage Online account and search for CN9WDML. Here's the link to PPA Online: https://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/pacustomers.html 3. Yes, in my view IBM needs to improve the availability of the Internet-accessible IBM Knowledge Center. Let's hope that happens, soon. But that won't be sufficient and never can be. If you manage mission-critical services -- and most people do in this forum -- see above. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
