Re: Issue with SK4T-4949-13 - IBM Online Library: z/OS V2R2 Collection, March 2017
I rename a few of the manuals (the ones I use all the time), but I too wish the file names of the manuals were the full manual name. I would hate to think about trying to rename hundreds of manuals each time, I would go nuts, but I do copy about 20 of them that I really care about. Using the index is great (I rename that too), but it still would be nice to have better names on the individual files.

Great feedback, Peter and everybody else - thank you! While you might not see direct results from it, I'm tracking it all and will wield it when I can. Thanks also to everybody who already volunteered to let us bounce ideas off of you - we'll be in touch. One clarification: KC4z IS an offline option.

Agree 10,000% The renaming of the files is something I used to do when I downloaded individual publications and still do if I'm sharing one with a co-worker. Otherwise I use the download index.htm which lists the titles and maps them to the cryptic name.

Great to see. I agree, there are many such top IBMers here on IBM-MAIN. I am still amazed that they indeed help out. I can't confirm, but apparently IBM (since when?) allows the IBMers to participate in public forums, something like a "virtual SHARE". I really hopes they are still here in the next 20 years...

Tom - I'm in total agreement with you. I never liked BookManager on Windows and I prefer PDF's as I don't need a network connection, I can place the one's I need on my iPad for easy access if my PC is down, and the advanced search to cross PDF boundaries is excellent.

I totally agree we need to be able to do bulk downloads of PDF bundles.

Unfortunately, this is now working-as-designed as announced in an RFA and at Share. sk4t-4949 (the CKIT or collection kit) was sunset in 4Q16 for z/OS and the individual PKITs for z/OS will be sunset in 3Q17. If you want PDFs, your best replacement is: sc27-8430 which is an Adobe Indexed version of the elements and features; otherwise, for IBM Knowledge Center for z/OS (aka KC4Z), see SK5T-9263 for elements and features SK4T-5610 for CICS Transaction Server I am including the order numbers for the individual product zOS "PKITS" here, all of which should be downloadable from the IBM Publications Center.

Issue with SK4T-4949-13 - IBM Online Library: z/OS V2R2 Collection, March 2017
Greetings all, In the past, the SK4T-4949 online library could be downloaded as a single zip file with manuals for all the z/OS components in one set. Not so with this newest release -13. It appears you now have to download the manuals for each and every component individually. This is horribly inconvenient. I'm hoping the IBMers monitoring this list will take note and have this rectified. I complained through the website, but got no response. Regards, Bob Robert S.
