Offline Documentation

  I work on a private (for a reason) LAN, without internet access.  Myself and other developers and DBAs used to be fine with using a slightly outdated version of the IBM DB2 Information Center, which we downloaded and put on servers inside the firewalls.  Our work around for not having offline documentation now is to use the 10.5 version of the Information Center.  This is quickly getting very out of date, and has no DB2 11 information, obviously.

  For our project, we only have 10 application developers and DBAs who use the documentation continually, and another 3 or 4 who reference the documentation occasionally.  The developers and DBAs keep asking and I keep checking on the documentation in the knowledge center but the way it is set up does not work for us.  We try to clunk around with it, but end up extremely frustrated with either needing to go back and forth between two machines (when possible, not always), one with internet access and one without, or using old documentation (in the information center) which may or may not be applicable, or just plain doesn't have what we need. 

   I put in a support ticket for this issue and was told that no offline documentation is planned and to use the PDF version in the knowledge center, that is now still in beta, and has major problems.  (For example, I cannot create/download a PDF of anything under the SQL section, the filename comes up blank.)  But the main problem with the PDF, aside from very difficult and clunky to read, is that all the links point to online locations in the online documentation.  I replied to the support people about this and they said to put in a request , which I am now doing.

  It would be very helpful to have self contained documentation available somehow, with links that reference itself instead of the IBM site.
