Comments
unable to download, only get the first 6 pages (Messages Manual)
Hi, Robert.
Thank you for your comment. You should be able to create a PDF of this entire website by going to Messages Library and following the instructions on this page, making sure to select This page and its children in the Export Scope box.
However, this website contains the equivalent of thousands of PDF pages, so exporting to PDF will take some time. Moreover, we regularly update the messages, so your PDF will soon be out of date. We would encourage you to view the message online or, if necessary, create a PDF of just a section.
So is there no way we can download the entire messages manual? I need searches fast and reliable. I can't say I find the BMC search function to be either.
Hi, Kevin.
Thank you for your request. In response, I have created a snapshot PDF of the whole Messages Library. To open the 15,700-page PDF, click the link in the new table in this topic. We intend to add new snapshots every quarter, following our SPE release cycle, but you can always create your own PDF by following the instructions in this topic.
Regards,
Dov Kaiser
