If I recall what one of the Hursley guys who post here said when this was asked before,
"there isn't going to be any PDF docs for V7.0".
Sigh.
Personally, I find the info centre next to usless unless I know where I am going.
For example, I wanted to check the options to the PROPAGATE ESQL Statement.
On the otherhand going round and round when trying to get to the all important desctiption & example of a Monitoring Message is very frustrating. It is there but it seems to take far too many screens to find it.
As an 'old timer' (as my grey hair will testify) I prefer my docs in 'book/pdf form'.
Back to your question, I think you are going to be out of luck.

There has been much discussion here about InfoCenter vs. .pdf.
I find the InfoCenter rather tedious, and prefer a book or book-like read.

There is no PDF version of the InfoCenter currently available.
As an old timer, I find it very tedious to have to manually change pages to go from one topic to another, and to have to run repeated "Find next" to go to the actual information I'm looking for, and much prefer a highly indexed and highly searchable InfoCenter format. |

Hmmm. I don't know if that is a challenge or not?
Nope.
How would I ever get it to handle the infinite loops & content free pages?

You should be able to retrieve the table of contents page and walk the links in that. No looping. I mean the left hand frame.
As for 'content free pages' - there are already a ton of those in the PDFs, so why skip them? |

At the risk of offending my best support resources, I gagged at that comment.
The InfoCentre is one of those things that IBM has done too well. It is over-engineered and there is no way to search it. If you try to use Google lately on InfoCentre pages, you usually get a hit and when you click on the link from the Google search page, you are brought to [A] the title page of InfoCentre (ie. not the page you wanted) or [B] the "oops we cannot find the page you are looking for".
Reminds me of how useless Lotus Notes search function is.

Aside from the search function built into the InfoCentre of course, which does quite a nice job.

(This is in no way a defence or a jibe at the InfoCenter and it's relative merits against the pdf format, a subject adequately discussed earlier. Just a refutation of the claim the InfoCenter is not searchable).

which are all links to different pages in the InfoCenter.
This is what I'm talking about when I say 'searchable', and I am *not* talking about anything regarding the search button at the top RIGHT of www.ibm.com.
The v6 InfoCenter does return only one result for 'mqget rhf2', and it's not a useful result.
I'm happy to rescind my "highly searchable", but I still significantly prefer a list of search results rather than having to continually "find next". And I just don't find a book format to be as useful on a day to day basis. |

But that's a contrived example. Those 2 terms are unrelated in WMB. You use an MQGet node for a given purpose & the presence (or not) of an RFH2 in the message is irrelevant. Likewise when manipulating an RFH2 it matters not at all if it was obtained from an MQGet, an MQInput or a Compute node further up the flow.
[quote="lancelotlinc"]By contrast, check this PDF out:
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/integration/wbibrokers/docs/V6.1/messagebroker_Message_Flows.pdf
The contrast is striking. Entering "MQGet RFH2" into the search box yields a "no matches found".

You're welcome to your opinion, IIRC you expressed it in the previous discussion & as I said we're not going there again.
