Thank you for visiting the
System z Platform Test Web site! We hope you find the
information we provide to be useful. To get the most out of using
our Web site, check out the following tips:
| Our test reports and more...
|
Our home page always has the
latest edition of our z/OS Parallel Sysplex Test Report
readily available. However, we have
earlier editions of our report available that also provide useful
information, as well as our companion document, OS/390
Parallel Sysplex Recovery. Just click on
Library
on the left-side navigation bar
on any of our pages to find all of our reports in all of their
available formats. We provide an HTML version for viewing and
searching online, and a PDF format for viewing, downloading,
and printing.

| Working with the HTML version of our books
|
Our HTML format is actually
a BOOK format built by IBM BookManager BUILD and then converted to
HTML using IBM BookServer. If you are familiar with using IBM
BookManager READ to view the softcopy books on IBM collection kits,
then viewing the HTML versions of those books here on the Web is
very similar. You get the same search capability and you can print
selected topics to your workstation printer. When you click on one
of the
HTML
books on our library page and it opens, you'll see
icons across the top of your screen. Depending on your browser, you might
or might not see "flyover help" for the icons. If not, you can click
the  help icon on the
far right to access the help information.
The help information includes descriptions of all of the icons on the
toolbar.

| Searching for information in our books
|
As mentioned above, using
the HTML versions of our books allows you to perform a search
similar to the search capability provided by IBM BookManager READ.
If you know exactly which edition of our test report you want to
look in, you can open it and search it individually, using the
 search icon
(the books are all listed separately on
our Library
page.)
If you are not sure which
edition of our report has the information you want, you can search
all editions, including our book on Parallel Sysplex recovery, at
the same time by using our
bookshelf.
This bookshelf is much like the bookshelves that are on
IBM's softcopy collection kits. You enter search criteria, and
you get back a list of books that contain matches. You can then
click on an individual book to open to a list of the matches in
that book, and so on.

| Working with the Adobe® PDF version of our books
|
The PDF versions of our
books provide the capability of viewing and searching online, as
well as printing, which is what you can do with the HTML versions also.
So, what's the difference? Well, with PDF files, you view and print
pages exactly as they were designed to format and print by the
author. The onscreen display is optimized to match the printed
page. So, when you print, "what you see is what you get."
To view and print PDF files, you need the Adobe
Acrobat® Reader, which is free and can be obtained from the Adobe
Web site:
![[Get Adobe Acrobat Reader]](./images/getacro.gif)
Once you have the
Acrobat Reader installed, if you click on one of our PDF files, the
Acrobat Reader automatically starts up and opens the book.
You can also use your browser's Save As... feature to download
the PDF file to your workstation. You can then start the Acrobat Reader
directly and work with your local copy of the PDF file.
