Library Center
IBM is providing an alternative way to navigate our z/OS
library on the Internet. Beginning with z/OS 1.5, the Library
Center for z/OS provides a Microsoft Windows Explorer-like
view of the contents of the entire z/OS and Software Prod-
ucts DVD Collection. The Library Center uses the new IBM
Library Server with new advanced search functions to help
users fi nd information “on demand.”
The Library Center offers easier navigation and new
advanced search features:
• An IBM Redbooks ™ bookshelf lets the user perform a
BookManager search and locate a corresponding Red-
book in PDF format. The search scope pull-down lets the
user launch searches in other repositories such as the
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS or Google.
• The Library Center also provides a handheld mode to
support both connected and disconnected handhelds .
Integrated Testing
z/OS is system-integration tested using a production-like
environment. The z/OS environment includes subsystems,
such as CICS, IMS, DB2 and WebSphere. This additional
testing supplements existing functional tests, with a focus
on tasks performed by customers in the production environ-
ment, thus helping establishments move more quickly to
new functions.
