Hi Bart,
I followed your example on Firefox and wasn't able to recreate a reset
nav. First, I opened the nav and clicked the pushpin icon at the top
right corner to pin it open. I then clicked through the nav to the "MVS
system commands reference" topic and then clicked the "MODIFY command"
link near the bottom to bring me to that topic. The nav on the left
refreshed and did look like it reset - it didn't scroll properly to show
the "MODIFY command" topic in the branching. However, after I scrolled a
bit to find it, I saw that it was indeed highlighted as the active topic
and expanded.
The IBM KC product development team has been working to improve the nav,
so I'll pass your comment along to them as an example of the current
user concerns. Thanks!

So while we're on a rant/wishlist for kc4z, can I ask that the random behaviour
of the left panel gets addressed?
Example:
Let's say I want to look in to MVS commands. I navigate the TOC panel on the
left to select z/OS 2.3, then z/OS MVS, then z/OS MVS System Commands, and then
MVS System Command Reference (yes, I know I can just search instead, but this
is just an example). On the right contents panel I then click a link to take me
to the MODIFY command. At that time my left panel resets and I lost the
navigation I did to get to the section of the manual I want to be at. In my
mind the left panel should either stay where it is or follow where the link
takes me.

Yep, that's exactly what I'm looking for, z/OS Plus IMS, DB2, I know I have
CICS, and CICS/FA loaded, but I'd like to have Omegamon, CDC
(Infosphere).....to name a few.

Hi Mike,
Good idea, but that index file only serves as a local ToC with links to
the PDFs that you've downloaded from
https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fservers%2Fresourcelink%2Fsvc00100.nsf%2Fpages%2FzOSV2R3Library&data=02%7C01%7Cbvandergrijn%40DOW.COM%7C4d6fc308aa384c86d59208d5b4f9db5b%7Cc3e32f53cb7f4809968d1cc4ccc785fe%7C0%7C0%7C636613907583381095&sdata=uGN6RH%2Bf7tcy4QrPGkg502%2B3HgUwRVW40wARNJcckIs%3D&reserved=0
, which pretty much contains only z/OS elements and features. It's very
useful for what it does for z/OS, but it doesn't help for separate
products like DB2, IMS, etc.

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://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fservers%2Fresourcelink%2Fsvc00100.nsf%2Fpages%2FzosInternetLibrary&data=02%7C01%7Cbvandergrijn%40DOW.COM%7C4d6fc308aa384c86d59208d5b4f9db5b%7Cc3e32f53cb7f4809968d1cc4ccc785fe%7C0%7C0%7C636613907583381095&sdata=YQaU%2F0L7wGPbQHOkI0wYpCHBK3cM5PoaCCNqXuNYolo%3D&reserved=0
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...
