Hi Mark,
For the IBM Education Assistance (note: not IBM Education Assistant!), use this 
link:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks.nsf/pages/IBMIEA?Open

That is the "top page" for all the IBM Education Assistance levels, which is 
good to bookmark.

The other link (http://www-01.ibm.com/software/info/education/assistant/) is 
for IBM Education Assistant, and won't contain new z/OS modules.   I know it's 
a little confusing, but z/OS has "broken out" of using IBM Education Assistant, 
and created our own location that fits our needs better.  We called it "IBM 
Education Assistance" to indicate that the goals are the same - which is to 
deliver small education packets to you.  All of z/OS will be on the IBM 
Education Assistance location.

p.s.  Thanks for mentioning the z/OS V2.1 modules too - they are also found 
from that top page, for those that want to see z/OS V2.1 new stuff!

"One more thing!"
#1. I do NOT know anything about Acrobat Search, but I am looking at what I 
have after unzipping the files on my system.

So I asked about the level of reader you are using, but I forgot to ask, in the 
directory that you have the " zOS V2R2 PDFs July 2015.pdx" do you have all the 
PDF files AND another directory, " zOS V2R2 PDFs July 2015" with files in it, 
"index.idx", "index1.idx" and "index2.idx"?

I know it is a bad thing to "assume" so that is why I am asking if you have the 
same file structure that we poor saps received when we downloaded the zip file 
and unzipped it.

Thanks, I personally was not aware (that's what happens when I miss SHARE 3 
summers in a row).  :-)

Is there a generic link for the site?   I was able to change "IBMIEAV22" to 
"IBMIEAV21" in the link for 
z/OS 2.1, but even searching the Red Books site and all of IBM I couldn't find 
any home 
page for Education Assistance so I could bookmark it for all releases.

Cheers,

Mark

z/OS V2.2 IBM Education Assistance

[Marna WALLE]

We've recently placed on the web ( 
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks.nsf/pages/IBMIEAV22avail?Open ) new 
materials associated with z/OS V2.2.  If you're not familiar with IBM Education 
Assistance (not to be confused with IBM Education Assistant), these are modules 
that can give you "soup to nuts" information on a specific new function in 
z/OS.  Or, it might contain all the enhancements in a specific component for 
z/OS V2.2.  

It's a great place to go shopping for new functions that might interest you in 
z/OS V2.2.  All enhancements are sorted by interest area to help you find an 
enhancement that may appeal to you:  Availability, Scalability & Performance, 
Usability & z/OSMF, Industry & Open Standards, Security, Networking, and 
Installation & Migration.  We've got approximately 100 modules available, so 
there's something for everyone.

The modules are usually provided in PDF format.  They all follow a template to 
make them easily understood.  The template looks like:
Overview,  Usage & Invocation,  Interactions & Dependencies,  Migration & 
Coexistence Considerations, and Installation.

We hope that this material will help you discover and use new z/OS functions in 
a easy way.  Of course, this information is supplemental to the official 
publications, but with this information sliced "horizontally" across books, it 
may be able to see the larger picture from these modules than reading in just 
one book.

I welcome any feedback on the IBM Education Assistance for z/OS!
