Works as advertised.
Worthless. Provides bare minimum support. Does not provide links to related documents or explanation of error codes.
Working as expected and handy app☺
I installed this app and immediately tried to download a component. I then tried to access the component and was rewarded with what I would call, a blank stare. By the name of the app I expect to be accessing a lot more than messages. I'm expecting access to documentation. Either give us access to the documentation or rename the app to something like IBM Message Buddy so we know what we're really getting. I dumped it like a hot rock. Useless to me!
(1) The components list is jumpy. (2) There is no easy unified place to see the status of all downloads. (3) Only downloaded message sets are searched, not the web itself. (4) There is no way to find out what component owns a particular message until you've downloaded it. (5) Googling a msgid is far easier. For more, see my IBMMAIN post of 12/02/16.
Easy to use and fast searching for message information. A must have for any mainframer.
I've used it a lot and have loved the recent features.
All mainframe users can benefit from this.
Would be vastly improved if references to other message codes were hyperlinked. As it is, you can't even copy and paste these referenced codes. Look up D37 and you'll see what I mean. Fix that and I'll give you 5 stars.
