** Updated on May 18, to show all articles April 1-30, after KB results limit of 10 pages had been fixed
Here is the April list of New & Updated CA Gen Knowledge Base Articles
The full list of KB articles can be found from the CA Gen Product Information page here: https://support.broadcom.com/mainframe-software/product-page.html?productName=CA Gen.At the bottom of section "Knowledge Base Articles" click on the link for "See All Articles" On the next page after a recent change the "Sort by" drop-down now automatically defauts to "Date (Newest)"
Note due to a current problem with only 10 pages of KB articles (10 articles per page) being available from above and a large number of Japanese language articles having recently been created, this list can only go back as far as April 9, so covers April 9-30. I will update this list again once that problem is fixed.
