RE: Retrieving IFS Security Info

My V5R4 system has it as well.

I suggest you check the installed products.

I just checked a V5R3 box I have access to - that program is in QSYS - and
documentation does say it first came out in V2R2 - so someone had to have
removed it, so far as I can tell.

I won't say HTH!

there

a V5R4 PTF that is needed to get this API prior to 6.1?

Chuck, I was able to get to V5R4 on Knowledge Center - V5r3 seems to

gone, as you say -

We just had a thread where I made comments about KC and expressing

want

to get to something directly -

I just can't believe how IBM have managed to add many more clicks to
getting to the same data! And I DO remember all the talk about

replacing

the books.

I have kept links to the sites for earlier releases, from before
Infocenter.

I also have a link to a general IBM library site - marvelous place
actually - with documentation it's hard to get anywhere else I know

of -

like MOD:CA and other architecture documentation. That link is

[2]http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/LIBRARY

I think it is called IBM Library Server Library - you probably

already

knew about it.

I should probably put all the old links I have on the wiki here -

not

sure I can add articles there.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Hope it also works for

V5R4

.... I see that it was available for 6.1 but in checking the IBM
Knowledge Center, it looks like it was not a part of V5R4.
<<SNIP>>

FWiW, at the _bottom_ of every page that documents an API, since
some very long time ago, a notation should exist to identify when

that

API was introduced. The 6.1 doc for the aforementioned API, for
example, should have included the following text: "API introduced:
V2R2"

While that tidbit is not helpful to know when any particular

portion

of information may be available from an API [e.g. a new format or

new

fields that came with a newer release], at least an inference that
there should exist specific doc for that API is intuitively

obvious.

Although with the recent transition to the KnowledgeCenter from

the

InfoCenter, IBM has ?apparently abandoned? any visibility to [at
least] the documentation at both v5r3 and v5r4; Or so I have

inferred

from my inability to access docs from bookmarked references and
inability to "add product" of those releases of the OS :-( While

I

have seen some other anecdotal references to the new KC and maybe

only

allusions to loss of the IC on these lists, I am actually

surprised

there has not been a topic dedicated to that topic here on

midrange-l,

like there were when IC came along to replace [the ?Books? of the
"online library" or whatever was the moniker for] the prior

web-based

docs interface. Why IBM leaves the v5r1 and v5r2 ICs but seems to
have obliterated those of v5r3 and v5r4, is nonsensical IMO;

though I

am biased, because my only access to the OS is via a v5r3 system.
