   BMC Documentation is the absolute worst! Any time I need to find something, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Every time I need to look for something, I give up in frustration. AWFUL!!!!!

      Hi, Richard. Following are some suggestions that might help:

      • The BMC documentation portal (docs.bmc.com) is now searchable from your favorite search engine. In the search engine's search bar, enter your search in the following format: 
        

        BMC productName searchItem

      • Within the documentation portal, you can conduct targeted searches as follows:
        • In a product space, use the search box at the top left of every page to search across that space.
        • On the docs.bmc.com dashboard, use the search box at the top right to search across all spaces in the portal.

   This new site has huge improvements. Finally we can easily find all documents on one single page. Global search is very powerful. Hope BMC can now catch up with DB2 V11 and V12 new features support. Nice job, BMC !

      Hi, David. Thanks for contacting us!

      You can find some information about Control-T in the MainView SRM documentation spaces and in the Installation System space. A couple of examples follow: 

      • (In the MainView SRM Reporting space) Tape reporting features 
      • (In the Installation System space) Product compatibility between DATA ACCELERATOR Compression and other products 

      To search for more occurrences within a single space, enter "Control-T" in the search box above the space's navigation pane: 

      

      To search across all spaces in the documentation portal, use the search box on the docs.bmc.com dashboard: 

      

      You could also check the Control-M/Tape documentation listed here on the BMC Support site. (Control-M/Tape was formerly named Control-T.)

      If none of these provide the information that you need, please enter a ticket with Customer Support by clicking here. If outside the United States, use the Select Another Country box to find local contact information.
