Comments
Thanks for checking with us! The release notes reside on the notices pages. On the home page of a product's space, look for the box that provides a link to the notices page.
Hello, Jan. You can access that guide via the MainView Infrastructure link on this page. You can also access it from each MainView product space by using the MainView infrastructure documentation link on the space's home page.
Hi, Rob. Our new portal enables us to keep the documentation current by updating it as often as needed. Also, you can create your own custom PDF of any topic or branch in a product space. (A branch is a parent topic and its child topics, such as a user guide for the product). To create a custom PDF, click the gear icon (Tools menu) in the upper-right corner of the page and select Export to PDF for a single topic or Export branch to PDF.
Hi, Feli. You can find the CMF MONITOR 6.0 documentation at MainView Monitoring, previous versions.
Hi Dottie, please consider that customers may be confused by BMC license packages or solutions. And that from a technical point of view the product name still has the focus. best regards, Feli
Thanks for sharing that perspective, Feli. I will forward your comments to our staff members who administer the spaces.
Hi Simon,
On any documentation page (for example https://docs.bmc.com/docs/mainframeinfrastructure/understanding-rtcs-718786571.html), the left navigation pane shows you exactly where you are and what sections come before and after your current selection.
Additionally, the PDFs topic in the Common mainframe infrastructure documentation space gives you a ready space PDF as of September 19th 2017.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Aparna
