  • APAR changes to documentation
  • We advise you to download the full PDF to your local system and launch the Acrobat Reader against it directly rather than viewing online.
    • This can be done in most browsers by instead of clicking the left mouse button on the PDF hyperlink, click the right mouse button and select the option to save locally. For example the option in Microsoft Internet Explorer is "Save Target As" and in Netscape Firefox it is "Save Link As."
    • To view PDFs on the web or offline you must have either the full Adobe Acrobat product or the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. They install as a plugin to your browser and get launched when you click on a PDF. The free Acrobat Reader can be downloaded from: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html

  • Versions initially shipped with the release are available on the Publications Center. Visit the IBM Publications Center Web site using this link and click through the following pages (">" indicates "next page"):
    Welcome to the IBM Publications Center >
      Select a country >
        Click on "Search for publications" > 
          Quick Publications Center search
    
    On the Quick Publications Center search page you can enter search terms (Search on) or Publication form numbers (xxxx-xxxx-xx).
    • For Search on
      • Enter ALCS to see all ALCS documents available
      • Enter Airline Control System V2.4.1 to see all ALCS 2.4.1 documents.
    • For Publication number
      • Enter XXXX-XXXX to see the latest version of one particular book, where XXXX-XXXX is part of a form number (like SH19-6742 for Messages). The most recent publication of a form number is the highest 2-digit number on the end of the form number. For example SH19-6742 results in a list including SH19-6742-17 for Messages edition 18.

      The form numbers for individual books appear in the previous list of PDF files. In addition for Book Manager BOOKs there are 2 more forms:
      • SH19-4132 bookshelf and
      • SH19-4133 book index
