Hi Doug,
We have installed a locally-installed Information Center because many
developers don't have access to internet (security in some big companies
:-)).
Nevertheless, I fully understand your point of view. I prefer and wish IBM
keep efforts in increasing quality in web documentation (this is also valid
for the support site), giving examples, making technotes...
Compared to version 7 it's far far better, but we still keep looking too
much and therefore loose time.
Regards,
Jean-Marc

Jean-Marc,
We've just completed a review this request. It took longer than we
anticipated to complete, so I do apologize for the delay in replying to
this thread. We've weighed several factors and decided that we will not
be producing a documentation FixPak. This will come as a disappointment
to those of you who use the locally-installed version of the
Information Center. When we started the effort to document new
functionality available in FixPak 9, we make a deliberate choice to
spend our efforts on the content itself and update just the web-based
DB2 Information Center. Providing complete and comprehensive coverage
of the FixPak 9 functionality in the web-based IC came at the expense
of buidling, testing and delivering documentation FixPaks in all
supported languages and locales; this work requires more effort than
one might expect, and we feel that, on balance, it is the best approach
for the most number of customers. Customers who rely on our PDF manuals
already know that they tend to lag behind the web-based Information
Center for the same reason: they require significant effort to produce
and test, particularly in all supported languages. However, we continue
to monitor how our customers use DB2 documentation (locally-installed,
web-based, and PDF) and we may revisit our current policy of focusing
mainly on the web-based IC for delivery of FixPak-level documentation
updates if we see enough interest from our customers. Thanks for
raising this issue, and please let me know if you have follow-on
questions or comments.
