Re: EXTERNAL: Re: IBM z/OS Product Documentation 2016
In a SHARE session a while back, customers in the room made the same point about ServiceLink in general. We need SIS and SR most during an outage. Ours that is. These apps are more critical at 2 AM than 2PM, more critical on a weekend than mid-week. IBM seemed sympathetic to this view, but I don't see that anything has changed. Realistically of course, IBM is a global enterprise. Just as it's always thank-god 5 PM somewhere (clink), it's always midnight somewhere. Still, it's never simultaneously Sunday and Wednesday on the planet earth. (Mars not yet supported.) . . .

Why, John, why? I know this is not your decision, etc., etc., but IBM's response and surveys remind me of a joke: A man goes to the doctor complaining of a variety of ailments. The doctor says "the best thing for you would be to quit smoking and drinking." The man says "Doc, I don't deserve the best. What would be second best?"

Here ya go ... z/OS V2.2 PDFs are available zipped up Marna Walle Although today the z/OS V2.2 publications are not available on Knowledge Center, they will be very soon. The individual books are available as PDFs here: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/library/bkserv/v2r2pdf/ . However, if you are like me, you want to have all the z/OS V2.2 PDFs handy. As you might have heard me say, I'm a heavy PDF user nowadays :). Well, the newly zipped up file of all the z/OS V2.2 books is available! Go to the IBM Publications Center ( http://www-05.ibm.com/e-business/linkweb/publications/servlet/pbi.wss ). The key piece of information you'll need is the publication number for the "ZIP of 7/28 IBM z/OS V2R2 PDF Documentation". That publication number is SC27-8430; search on this number. Right now, it's at the -00 level for this zip. Now, if you look in that zip file, you'll see a directory (zOS V2R2 PDFs July 2015) that has three indexes in it. I've been hitting my head on the wall trying to find out what they are there for, and what they can do to help me. The answer so far is "ignore them, they do nothing". If I find anything else out about them, I'll update this blog. Just wanted to point that out, so that you can avoid the headaches I've encountered trying to find out about them. If you need all the z/OS V2.2 PDFs, this is best place to find them. -Marna -- Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity - Unknown On Fri, Mar 25, 2016 at 10:12 AM, Eosze, Jonathan L. < 00e2883cf878-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > Agreed.

If you want a native z/OS Knowledge Center, it's in the base as an element and the content for base and features is available as SK5T-9263. CICS Transaction Server has a separate number. PDFs are downloadable from the IBM Publications as "smaller", usually product-related bundles including a XKS from the IBM Publications Center.
