RE: Diagnostic Aids -- LY44-0597

And yet another reason to drop the i5 (My company's opinion). Manuals should 
not be that high.

These are still for sale - $373 at this site:

http://www.elink.ibmlink.ibm.com/publications/servlet/pbi.wss?SSN=07DBM0038688881992&FNC=PBL&PBL=LY21-0597-02PBCEEBO200119047&TRL=TXTSRH

These are the only manuals with, I assume, full instructions on the 
use of DST and SST. I don't think everything from these manuals has 
shown up at InfoCenter. Here is the description from that site:

This manual is split in two volumes. Volume 2 contains trace points 
and VLOG IDs. Volume 1 contains information about error logs, dumps, 
traces. It also contains information about problem analysis and 
resolution, resource and configuration management, SST, DST, and the 
IPL sequence. In addition, information needed to determine, isolate, 
and solve program problems occurring with the OS/400 and licensed 
internal code is provided. The information in this manual is 
primarily intended to help solve service problems that occur after 
normal problem analysis and resolution procedures fail.

Get into the Hardware InfoCenter to find SRC messages
by entering the SRC code and click on search.

understand that it is a 'DST' error regarding the Sys Console .. 
but as close as my documents have is A6005005 - a failure on bus 0 
to find the console --

the question i raise is 'Diagnonstic Aids' (LY44-0597) in print? 

{any electronic version?} - in what has been apparently only exists 
as an expensive 'hard copy' for one's reference.

Has IBM 'abstracted' it .. or may abstract it to allow the i-user 

community to be able to understand the 'burps' of the hardware.
