RE: FTP site for IBM i manuals?

The best answer for that is google your server machine-model and SRCxxxxxxxx. That's how I usually find things these days. KnowledgeCenter search is pretty useless a lot of times. You also need to bookmark the SRC lookup web page in KnowledgeCenter. I keep that one bookmarked on my iPhone and iPad for when I don't have a laptop around.

I haven't been able to find the Analyze Hardware Problems, System reference codes, Problem and Isolation, Remove and Replace Parts Locations and so on on PDF. And the infocenter has 0 search ability. If i'm looking for an SRC for Power5 it directs me to DS8000 or maybe Power8 hardware.
It's very hard to get to the correct PIPs now. And those are manuals that do not become obsolete so fast....

I don't see any PDFs disappearing, either. And they are usually not
just web page screenshots - the web content IS often the same and
organized in a similar fashion.

Just for fun, folks might like to take a look at the IBM Library
Server Library at
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/LIBRARY - lots of the
older stuff is still there, and architecture manuals, like for MO-DCA and stuff, is there.

Another curious site that is still there is the iSeries 400
Information Entry Page - Online Library <http://publib.boulder.ibm.
com/pubs/html/as400/onlinelib.htm> at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/

now, after all these years, is that I must be a grumpy, old

still miss my CL command manuals.

I spend a fair amount of time giving feedback to the Knowledge Center
team. I don't think I've ever heard a remark that even hinted that
all PDFs are going away.

If they were to go away, I'd probably whip up a script to scrape the
web site and make the PDFs I use all the time: RPG, DDS, and SQL reference.
