I think this is more fallout from the thread of last week. The z/OS 1.13 and prior manuals were still available last time I looked (disclaimer - I haven't looked recently).

Now when I click on my saved link (which worked earlier this morming [UK time]), I get: - Documentation for z/OS V2.1.0 is no longer available in IBM Knowledge Center.
