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.)

Usually it was scheduled maintenance windows, but I expect the manuals to be available whenever I have an outage (sometimes caused by planned weekend and/or late-night maintenance) and want to research how to fix it. I would rather have the manuals not available due to IBM maintenance when I typically look at them, during the day, than during the night-time implementations that I am called to fix.

On the Gripping Hand, I have the (now outdated) PDFs on a flash drive in my pocket. (Need to see how well Spotlight indexes them.) Search on PUBLIBZ was magnificent but IBM may have grown weary of giving me free CPU cycles. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
