The content is now organized based on logical branches instead of legacy book titles. We hope that the new structure will help you quickly find the content that you need.




BMC AMI DevX Xchange 17.02

This space contains information about the 17.02 release of the BMC AMI DevX Xchange product.

BMC AMI DevX Xchange is a sophisticated tool for evaluating your time-sensitive applications.

By using BMC AMI DevX Xchange, you will be prepared to address the potentially costly impact that improper date and time manipulations can have on your applications. Xchange automates date and time testing. You can build an inventory of all applications that make system date and time requests, and then test those applications using different dates and times. You can simulate century date changes, month-end and leap year processing, and a variety of other exception conditions on a job-by-job, program-by-program, or application group basis. Use Xchange to test different dates for any program without dedicating a separate system or affecting other jobs that are running simultaneously.

Creating a custom PDF

If you are logged in, you can create a PDF from any topic in the space. Use the following procedure to create a PDF of either the current topic or multiple pages (a parent topic and its child topics):

  1. Go to the branch or topic for which you want to create a PDF.
  2. On the toolbar in the upper-right of the window,  clickexport icon.pngand select Export to PDF:

    export_to_PDF.png

    Important

    Although you can export to Microsoft Word, this portal is not optimized for Word exports. If you require an export in XML or HTML format, contact us.

  3. In the Exporting PDF dialog box:
    • In the Template box, select one of the following PDF styles:

      • Simple to export a PDF with no cover, table of contents, or index 
        By default, the Simple template exports only the current page.
      • Standard to export a traditional PDF with a cover, table of contents, and index 
        By default, the Standard template exports the current page and its child pages.

      In this example, selecting This page and its children creates a PDF of all topics in the space's "Reference" section:
