End of service documentation

When an IMS™ version is withdrawn from support, the documentation is provided as-is for use solely with the applicable IMS version and is no longer maintained.

Documentation for end of service IMS versions might remain available in IBM® Knowledge Center for an extended period of time for clients with extended support contracts. After the documentation is removed from Knowledge Center, you can continue to find and download the documentation outside of Knowledge Center.

From this page, you can download PDF files for the following end of service IMS versions:
