To add links to the Web page of the Information Center:

  1. Open the following file in a Unicode editor such as SC UniPad, or UNIEDIT for Windows, or yutex, or yudit for Linux (Notepad will not work because it cannot read the Unicode files used for the Information Center notebook): db2webuc.ndx

  2. Add an entry in this file for each of the new links that you want to have appear on the Web page.

    Note:The first entry in the file is a number corresponding to the number of entries in the file. This number must be manually updated if you add or remove entries from the file.

    4. The full Web address indicating the location of the entry
    Include information corresponding to each part of the comma-separated list documented above for each entry that you add to the file. Follow this template: 
    "DB2 at my company",2,"DB2 Information at my company",http://www.mycompany.com/db2.html
  3. Update the number found on the first line of the file to reflect the current number of entries in the file.
