Knowledge Center formatted doc

[Ronald Ciavaglia]

Since IBM is moving to Knowledge Center formatted documentation for z/OS what are the plans for CA/Broadcom doc?  Will CA/Broadcom be offering KC formatted documentation?

[Michael Palilonis]

Hi, Ronald. 

IBM is announcing that their PDF and other formats of product documentation will all be going fully online in html format in the Knowledge Center for google-searchability and other features available in online-only formats.  

Techdocs.Broadcom.com is Broadcom's version of IBM KC, and it has been fully online with indexed searching capabilities for several years, with PDF downloads as a secondary format offering.
All the advantages of IBM's move to native online documentation, such as searching, feedback, real-time commenting, have been available in Techdocs.Broadcom.com since its inception.
We are very glad to see that IBM is going to finally offer the same customer-centric provisions in their IBM Knowledge Center online doc platform by their announcement as they move from PDF as a primary format to online html. We hope it makes the documentation experience for users of IBM mainframe software as good as it is for Broadcom's mainframe product users such as yourself. We welcome other feedback you may have on our doc platform here in the community or through direct commenting on any page of Techdocs.Broadcom.com.
