Just a question. Are you still using old links to the "Knowledge Center" site or new links to the "IBM Documentation" site? For example: See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0 for the z/OS 2.40 books. I have been using the "IBM Documentation" site all day yesterday and today and haven't noticed any problems. --Roger
