Documentation Offline application

Deploy IBM Documentation Offline to view product documentation without an internet connection. Designed for organizations running in a dark shop environment, IBM Documentation Offline offers two deployment types:

• Desktop application – available for macOS, Windows, or Linux. IBM Documentation desktop is built using Electron, a framework for building desktop applications that use web technologies such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Node.js based, IBM Documentation uses an electron wrapper to provide a local desktop version that you can run offline from your desktop.
• Intranet version - the ability to host the electron package on an intranet server. This version includes shell scripts and a configuration file for your admin to set up the intranet deployment. The intranet version also includes a dockerfile from which you can build a Docker image to deploy IBM Documentation.

The GA level of z/OS V2R5 documentation is available today.  In IBM Documentation see https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0.   To download the z/OS V2R5 Adobe Indexed PDF Collection, see https://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/zoslib/pdf/zOSV2R5-PDFKIT_GA2021.zip.

The IBM Documentation framework has been enhanced with a filter function on the table of contents that can help you locate the information you need faster.
