You
can often find solutions to problems by searching IBM knowledge bases. You can optimize
your results by using available resources, support tools, and search
methods.
About this task
You can find useful information by searching the online documentation for IBM Data Studio.
Procedure
To search knowledge bases for information that you need,
use one or more of the following approaches:
- Find the content that you need by using the IBM® Support Portal.
The IBM Support Portal is a unified, centralized view of
all technical support tools and information for all IBM systems, software, and services. The IBM Support Portal lets you access the IBM electronic support portfolio from one place. You can tailor the pages to focus on the
information and resources that you need for problem prevention and faster problem resolution.
Familiarize yourself with the IBM Support Portal by viewing
the demo videos
(https://www.ibm.com/blogs/SPNA/entry/the_ibm_support_portal_videos) about this tool. These videos
introduce you to the IBM Support Portal, explore
troubleshooting and other resources, and demonstrate how you can tailor the page by moving, adding,
and deleting portlets.
- Search for content about IBM Data Studio
by using one of the following additional technical resources:
- Search for content by using the IBM masthead search. You can use the IBM masthead search by
typing your search string into the Search field at the top of any ibm.com® page.
- Search for content by using any external search engine,
such as Google, Yahoo, or Bing. If you use an external
search engine, your results are more likely to include information
that is outside the ibm.com domain.
However, sometimes you can find useful problem-solving information
about IBM products in newsgroups,
forums, and blogs that are not on ibm.com.
Tip: Include "IBM" and
the name of the product in your search if you are looking for information
about an IBM product.
