  • 1.  Offline Server Node.js Application?

    Posted Thu September 29, 2022 11:43 AM
    Geoff,
    You mentioned there was an offline server that was a Node.js application, but I can't find it.
    The offline page only mentions desktop applications for Windows, Mac and Linux.
    I downloaded the Windows and Linux, but did not see anything about an offline server.
    Please advise,

    Hi Ed.  Sorry for the delay, I was looking for a e-mail, I should have checked the forum sooner.  After you log-in, you need to scroll down on the download page where the Windows, MAC OS and Linux versions are and you will see "Intranet Version", that is the version that uses node.js.   I'm sorry for the confusion.

    Geoff,

    You must be breathing rarified air in Poughkeepsie. :-)

    The rest of us paeons do not have a selection on the left-hand pane called Intranet Version (see screenshot below).

    Please advise...

    Hi Ed,

    Customers cannot see the intranet version package or download instructions on ibm.com/docs/en/offline. This is because the intranet version should be used in conjunction with product dev teams who are distributing IBM Documentation Offline on hardware, in a console, or as part of a help system. ID teams have been instructions to contact me if they want to distribute the intranet version with their product or to a specific customer.

    The dev or ID team will have to download what you need and put it in box or somewhere for you to be able to use it. I understand that the ID team is working on this for you right now. 
    The local desktop version is the preferred method in most offline cases. That said, we understand that z/OS admins have a different use case which is why we have the intranet version. Note that the intranet version is not a KC4Z replacement as KC4Z was customized by the z/OS dev team. They were working with us for parity and contact them for any updates on that customized version. 
    The ability to add your own content and to get update notifications is currently in our roadmap with a target for end of year delivery.

    Hi Karen.

    What about customers that have the JAZZ server? It is now officially written that that the KCCI server is deprecated and we shall install the Documentation Offline server intranet version. 

    Where can I get this version as this is not (yet) delivered with JAZZ/ELM 7.0.2. So where do I get it?

    Seems that the various development teams are already migrating but the offline server is not available.
