IBM Software Support RSS Feeds

IBM's RSS feeds allow you to stay up-to-date with the latest content created for specific IBM Software products. Feeds are updated daily.

What is RSS?

RSS is a quick, easy, and lightweight format for monitoring new content added to Web sites. An RSS feed, (normally labeled with the logo), uses XML-formatted files to deliver content that you then access with an RSS Reader. Our RSS feeds provide the title of a new piece of content, such as a technote, a description of the new content, and a link to the content. Feeds are updated daily.

Step-by-step instructions

There are two basic steps to complete the subscription process:

  • Download and install an RSS reader. There are many RSS readers available to choose from; no particular reader is required for use with our feeds. IBM Software support has links to a number of free RSS readers on it's IBM Software RSS Help page.
  • Use your reader to subscribe to one of our feeds (sometimes referred to as channels). Because of the wide variety of readers, the particular steps to subscribe will vary. Refer to your reader's Help for details on how to subscribe to a feed, but in general:
    • Some readers will allow you to drag the orange RSS button into your RSS reader in order to subscribe.
    • With some other readers, you'll be able to right-click the orange RSS/XML button and select an option to subscribe right from that menu.
    • In still other cases, you'll need to click the orange RSS/XML button to get to the raw XML feed, copy the URL of the feed from the address bar, and paste it into your reader's new feed/channel dialog.

Additional information on the IBM Software RSS Feeds is available on IBM.Com.
