My Notifications
With My Notifications, we can subscribe to Support updates for any IBM product. My Notifications replaces My Support, which is a similar tool that we might have used in the past. With My Notifications, we can specify to receive daily or weekly email announcements. We can specify what type of information to receive (such as publications, hints and tips, product flashes (also known as alerts), downloads, and drivers). My Notifications enables you to customize and categorize the products about which to be informed and the delivery methods that best suit your needs.
