Is DCX being replaced by SAP Help Portal?

The SAP Help Portal - SAP SQL Anywhere seems to contain the same content; for example, CREATE EVENT.

Observations:

(1) The following exact Google search finds both DCX and SAP Help Portal pages:

"only the database that is running on the primary server executes the event"

(2) The SAP Help Portal does not seem to display the version number, although "17.0" appears in the URL.

(3) The SAP Help Portal does not seem to allow V16 material to be displayed.

(4) The SAP Help Portal is quite pretty.

I know of no plans to replace DCX with another location. The documentation may show up in other locations such as the SAP Help Portal but AFAIK DCX will continue to contain the SQL Anywhere documentation.

FWIW: DCX is still down and SAP IT is working on restoring the system. This forum (and a number of other SQLA related sites) were also down since 8am (EDT) Monday. IT has been working through the issues to get systems back up. At this time I do not know when DCX will be restored. I'll update this info when it is up.

[EDIT: Looks like DCX was back up around 11:14 EDT this morning]

Mark, I don't want to sound bold, but as we discuss HA features here, isn't this site somehow "mirrored" (or "virtualized" and can be "moved around")? - I know it's probably not a critical resource for SAP but we felt rather disconnected the last hours...

Mark, try restarting your browser, that made DCX work again for me, and a customer reports it is up.

DCX will continue

That is good news, especially since the SAP Help Portal is of no use to clients using SQL Anywhere 16 and earlier (which is the vast majority, AFAIK).

FWIW, I had DCX during the day (UTC+2), so I thought it had been down just currently...

So I guess DCX was down, and when it came back up, a Chrome restart was required for me to get past the "connection refused" error... even a cow knows!

The search in DCX is quite good. I think.

For the latest information about SQL Anywhere 17, visit the SAP Help Portal. For earlier and translated versions of the documentation, use DCX.
