The PDF guides for this product are as follows:

To view PDF files, you must download and install the Adobe Reader from the Adobe website if it is not already installed on your computer.

7.1 HTML Bookshelf

This release contains the CA HTML Bookshelf, which is HTML help system that provides access to all deliverables in the product documentation set, regardless of the file format. The HTML Bookshelf features include:

You must install the HTML Bookshelf separately from the product installation.

To install the HTML Bookshelf

  1. Insert the product CD.
  2. Click setup.exe from the product CD:\DOCSETUP folder.

    This installs the bookshelf to the following location: Programs > CA > CA 2E r8.5 > Bookshelf

Note: You can also download and extract the <product name> HTML Bookshelf.ZIP file from CA Support Online.To extract the content of a .ZIP file, use an archive program such as WinZip or StuffIt, and choose to extract the content to a local folder. Once extracted, open the Bookshelf folder and click the Bookshelf.hta file.

7.2 Release Numbers on Documentation

The release number on the title page of a document might not correspond to the current product release number; however, all documentation delivered with the product, regardless of release number on the title page, will support your use of the current product release. The release number changes only when a significant portion of a document changes to support a new or updated product release. If no substantive changes are made to a document, the release number does not change. For example, a document for r11 may still be valid for r11.1 or even r12. Documentation bookshelves always reflect the current product release number.

Occasionally, we must update documentation outside of a new or updated release. To indicate a minor change to the documentation that does not invalidate it for any releases that it supports, we update the edition number on the cover page. First editions do not have an edition number.
