DB2 9 for z/OS BookManager books
Support for BookManager format being discontinued
As part of IBM's ongoing effort to deliver the best possible information experience to our customers, we are optimizing the information that is delivered with our products for viewing in the information center and phasing out the BookManager® format. You might have noticed that the information for new products and features, such as the DB2 Accessories Suite for z/OS information, is not offered in BookManager format in the Version 9.1 library for DB2 for z/OS. The BookManager books will continue to be provided for the life cycle of our versions through Version 9.1; however, we do not intend to deliver BookManager books for new releases in the future.
The information center includes all of the information that you are used to seeing in BookManager and PDF, plus many improved features for finding and viewing the information that you need to do your job. We welcome your feedback about the information center. You can submit comments through the online reader comment form: ibm.com/software/data/rcf
