Writer instructions

Purpose

Use this page to display a banner announcement on each page of the space. Create the Space announcements page in the master space, outside of the Home branch.

You can version the Space announcements page to enable different banners to be published into different target spaces, however, the banner that is displayed in the versioned (master) space itself only displays the most recently-published banner.  If you find errors in the banner area of your versioned space and you are sure the Space announcements page is set up correctly, try publishing the page to the same space.

For more information, see Space-announcements-banners.

Removing

When an announcement is no longer needed, remove the BMC Space Banner macro.

Translation

Localized spaces using the L10n Viewport theme must change the name of this page to Space announcements l10n.  See Configuring-the-Scroll-ViewPort-theme-for-translated-spaces.

Usage

Choose one or none of the following BMC Space Banner macros.

If your space requires another kind of announcement, you can use this page in coordination with your team lead and editors.

When should I use a space announcement banner?

Use the space organization announcement after you change the content from a book-like organization (such as User Manual, Configuration Manual, and Administration Guide) to the product model.

Use the latest version announcement to push traffic to later versions. You do not need to add this to every previous version, but if you have a specific reason that you want users to be aware—for example, Google searches show content for an obsolete version—use the banner to help users find a relevant version.

When an announcement is no longer needed, remove the BMC Space Banner macro.

Space announcement This documentation space provides the same content as before, but the organization of the content has changed. 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.

Online generation


File-AID for Db2 Object Administration generates online the JCL and statements you need for the following Db2 operations:

  • SQL statements
  • Db2 commands
  • Db2 DSN subcommands.

Online generation means that File-AID for Db2 Object Administration generates the statements or commands when you press <Go> and returns the results in a window as soon as they are generated. You can still execute the commands or submit the JCL in batch mode.

All statements and commands are placed in the appropriate work buffer. The work buffers are discussed in detail in About the Work Buffers.

Selecting objects to include

As your first step in generating statements, you must display the object or objects to include. You can use any object display method described in Catalog and Subsystem Access.

Excluding objects from display or processing

Many primary commands affect all objects displayed in a window. In some cases, you may want to exclude some objects. To generate JCL for only some of the displayed objects, exclude the unneeded objects from the display using one of these commands:

  • The X row command excludes selected rows; see Primary-command-X-Exclude. You can use a block format to exclude a range of objects.
  • The X primary command excludes rows with matching strings; see X (Exclude).

You can unexclude rows by executing the RESET primary command. Or, you can switch the status of unexcluded and excluded rows with the SWITCH primary command. You cannot use the X (exclude) row command to exclude rows from submission in the work buffer.
