Subject: Re: IBM Knowledge Center down?
not shameless IMHO, a great tool I use first before hitting the books.
to age myself a bit, I remember getting boxes of hard copy, and updates
periodically and was able to update the doc by hand, anyone remember the
| update makes and what pages to remove and replace?
taking that away and replacing it with a ACTION(DOC) update is little to no
help with all the products that now encompass the base
I hope IBM developers are reading, listening, we really need the ability to
update PDF doc, IBM pushed KC to be on our local processors, and HAD a great
tool to get the doc from IBM and update our local copy of the KC, last I head
that's not working? or de funked?
I don't know how this can be done, but I'm sure it can be done via SMP/E or an
outboard tool to update our local doc with any ACTION(DOC) I would be willing
to do what's necessary to create a local repository and update any cfg file to
make this happen locally

To throw in a shameless plug, if you have MVS/QuickRef, much of the
IBM and ISV content is available on your mainframe for instant access,
internet or not, KC up or down, USB plugable, etc. And for our
clients, if there is content we do not currently have that you desire,
let us know and we will do our best to obtain that content and add it to our
database.
Prior to becoming a developer for MVS/QuickRef, every shop I worked in
as a s/p had QuickRef. If it didn't when I arrived, it did by the time I left.
I don't know what I would have done without it. It's almost
impossible to keep physical manuals up to date as quickly as software changes.

Yes, that is a very good idea. It would follow the general route in
which progress is made, then undone, and then redone. As JSON api’s
to everything are the fashion nowadays, that would be really welcome
to stay updated, by e.g. having a nightly cronjob that updates the
docs databases. If these were of the tagged variety, we could even
generate updated PDFs out of these. I would be like updating TLS
newsletters without catching your finger in the blue binder!
Best regards,
René.

One thing not mentioned on the thread is the ability to have APIs
to
read the IBM document database. If one exists please share. The
document database assumes a human at a browser which is limiting and
a supported and stable API interface would be welcome.

How many online systems have IBM put out there now ?
Just when it's all seems stable it changes and we go around again.
I could mention the stacks of manuals I started with that never
went
down :-) but think of the trees.
Damn ! Am I that old ?
I'm gonna download the pdf collection for now.
