There have been many comments about the IBM ADSM manuals.  While
they no doubt can be improved, they are head and shoulders above
the documentation I have seen for other similar products.

I'm not sure I understand the vehement complaints about
the manuals either.  I installed the ADSM MVS server
about three years ago, and it seemed to drop in without
much trouble.

While there is certainly room for improvement,
my strongest complaint would be that over the years the
manuals were not updated to describe the enhancements
that maintenance added to the product, but instead users
had to reference PTF hold data.
