Re: Public paper on IDS
Not a technical support thread: someone pointed to a new IBM white paper on IDS, noting you must register to download it. Several readers who tried the ibm.com link got "The link which brought you here is invalid... message code: 57e" and couldn't reach the paper; one poster said it had worked the previous Friday. No working URL or fix was posted, so no resolution is recorded. The thread ends with joking jabs about IBM's site running on DB2 versus Oracle-powered sites like Amazon and eBay.
