Terminology

This section provides information about the formats of documentation that are available for CICS Explorer® and the conventions used in the documentation.

Translated documentation

The context help in the CICS Explorer product documentation is available in national languages other than English: Brazilian Portuguese, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Spanish.

Accessibility

CICS®® Explorer documentation is accessible.

Information about the accessibility features of IBM Knowledge Center can be found in the IBM® Knowledge Center help.

In addition to the accessibility of the online frameworks, the content of the CICS information itself is adapted to be accessible. For example:
  • All images that convey additional information have alternative text. The standard alternative text cannot include markup (for example, to present items as lists), so where the alternative text is complex, a formatted version is supplied. To display formatted alternative text where available throughout the IBM Knowledge Center, go to Preferences in the Home navigation panel, select Images, and select 'Display the text description of an image'.
  • Syntax diagrams in the IBM Knowledge Center are displayed as railroad diagrams. These diagrams can also be read by screen readers as dotted decimal format.
IBM Developer for Z, Rational® Developer for Z
From Version 14.0, Rational Developer for Z changed its name to IBM Developer for Z. Unless explicitly stated, all references in this documentation to IBM Developer for Z include any earlier versions of this product that are supported for use with CICS, and are still called Rational Developer for Z.
