IBM Support Portal is the single destination for all your support requirements related to IBM products. The all-new experience offered by the support portal makes it easier to lookup for APARs, PMRs, support notes, products, migration documents, and so on. You can also choose to be subscribed to receive notifications for select topics of interest for the IBM product of your choice.
With continuous delivery of fixes and enhancements to Mobile Foundation, it becomes difficult for one to stay on top of all that is current within the product. Hence we highly recommend that customers subscribe to notifications for updates delivered to Mobile Foundation, this avoids communication latency related to product updates.

Inclusive terminology note: The Mobile First Platform team is making changes to support the IBM® initiative to replace racially biased and other discriminatory language in our code and content with more inclusive language. While IBM values the use of inclusive language, terms that are outside of IBM's direct influence are sometimes required for the sake of maintaining user understanding. As other industry leaders join IBM in embracing the use of inclusive language, IBM will continue to update the documentation to reflect those changes.
