IBM
periodically makes documentation updates available. If you access the online
version on the DB2 Information Center at ibm.com
®
, you do not need to install
documentation updates because this version is kept up-to-date by IBM. If you have
installed the DB2 Information Center, it is recommended that you install the
documentation updates. Documentation updates allow you to update the
information that you installed from the DB2 Information Center CD or downloaded
from Passport Advantage as new information becomes available.
Note: The DB2 Information Center topics are updated more frequently than either
the PDF or the hard-copy books. To get the most current information, install
the documentation updates as they become available, or refer to the DB2
Information Center at ibm.com.
You can access additional DB2 technical information such as technotes, white
papers, and Redbooks
™
online at ibm.com. Access the DB2 Information
Management software library site at http://www.ibm.com/software/data/sw-
library/.
Documentation feedback
We value your feedback on the DB2 documentation. If you have suggestions for
how we can improve the DB2 documentation, send an e-mail to
db2docs@ca.ibm.com. The DB2 documentation team reads all of your feedback, but
cannot respond to you directly. Provide specific examples wherever possible so
that we can better understand your concerns. If you are providing feedback on a
specific topic or help file, include the topic title and URL.
Do not use this e-mail address to contact DB2 Customer Support. If you have a
DB2 technical issue that the documentation does not resolve, contact your local
IBM service center for assistance.
