Try Pubcenter: 
http://www-05.ibm.com/e-business/linkweb/publications/servlet/pbi.wss?CTY=DE
(and don't use the DE at the end).

Assuming you can *find* the damned PDFs! That takes a while now. Sad what

Well, if you only allow cookies selectively, then it is hell browsing IBM 
websites if you are forced into disabling script blockers. I should know, I get 
forced into using IE with scripts enabled (cannot disable them). What happens 
is that there is a general script on *all* IBM websites that tells you that you 
can configure cookies, and of course allowing IBM to litter the computer 
liberally with cookies is the default. If you only allow the cookies needed for 
the website to function, you're forced to twiddle your thumbs for more than a 
minute. And again if you happen to switch from an ibm.com to an ibm.de website. 
I hate it. Not to mention that even SIS didn't work properly under IE. 

As for knowledge center - I avoid it whenever I can. I'd rather use the pdfs 
(which I also heartily dislike), but for fast and easy information retrieval I 
still go back to the 1.13 bookmanager books residing on my own private toy 
laptop (that will never see the internet since it runs W10). As time goes by, 
I'll be forced more and more into the pdfs, though. At that time the toy laptop 
will switch to Debian. :-)

The internet isn't anymore what it used to be, as far as I am concerned.
