Hi Elardus,
Wow, you're even more expensive than my babysitter! Never mind. ;-)
I completely agree that it would be nice if all products that run on
z/OS could provide content in the same downloadable format and that it's
all easy to find. In the meantime, I like your idea of a
""big-mother-of-all" URL" and will run it by our strategist. (Of course,
we have
https://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/svc00100.nsf/pages/zosInternetLibrary
for z/OS, but that doesn't include the other products.) Consider opening
a requirement for it - that will help with participation from the other
products.

You're hired, Elardus! ;-)
Thanks for your nice compliment, I am humbled by your comments. Ok, but I am
way too expensive - starting at $1 million per second, can you afford that? ;-D
Ok, seriously.
My own broken record statement is that we're constantly trying to improve how
the Knowledge Center handles the extensive z/OS library of content. We always
appreciate input, though.
What about Carmen Vitullo comments? He said:
That sounds great Susan, and I have the KC server running on an LPAR here,
(2.2) and using Softcopy Librarian V5 to load the contents, so where are all
the 'other' books I'd like to load, DB2, MQ, IMS...to name a few?
those KC books do not appear in any selection, .Boo or .PDF format for me to
download. what am I missing?
They are there (on the internet) and these books on the KC were also discussed
some time ago. Just that it can take some serious searching (even with Google)
to locate them...
But, it would indeed be great if they (DB2, MQ, etc.) are also located on the
KC Server on z/OS system.
To Susan, What about a really "big-mother-of-all" URL where all and every
collections (hardware, software, operating systems, hot topics, redbooks, database
systems, Linux, LookAt, etc.) are listed? That URL's domain name should stays permanently
while the various addresses (domain and IP addresses) can change anytime.
I would appreciate it that there is one page where you go in and then do you
jump to your favourite subject. Something like that Wikipedia portal 'Ongoing'
[events].
That type of setup can then also be ported to z/OS where you have your own copy
of KC.
Just my few [de-valuated] cents...
Groete / Greetings
