      Thank you for pointing out this issue. A new release of the MainView for z/OS product is scheduled for June, and we’ll add the corresponding space at that time. Until then, we recommend accessing the MainView for z/OS documentation from the A-Z Supported Product List on Support Central. We also added a "coming soon" section on this page to indicate the spaces that we plan to add soon due to upcoming releases.

        Hi, Jean-marc. We have an update for you. In June, we added spaces for version 6.1 of the MainView for z/OS product and the MainView for UNIX System Services product. This page now includes links to both of those spaces.

      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,
    just anothe question: Will you keep the BMC Documentation Center in the future?
    This is a very neat and comprehensive documentation toll which even works when being offline.
    best regards,

      Comprehensive documentation, even while you are offline, is available via the wiki. You can export a PDF of an entire product space or any section of interest within the space. To export PDFs, use the Export to PDF option from the Tools menu (the Gear button on the upper right). If you would like a personal, online demonstration of this or any other documentation features, please ask your BMC account representative.

        Hello Dottie,
        do you really ask me to export all manuals on my own in order to have an offline documentation?
        I'm sorry, but this is not acceptable.
        I will contact my BMC representative.
        best regards,
        Feli

      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.
