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.

Warning for Unicode Data

The Warning for Unicode Data Window appears when a table to be copied includes Unicode data and your CCSID is different from Db2’s. File-AID for Db2 utilizes data conversion based on the Db2 default settings. Any retrieved data for Extract or Copy functions may contain substituted characters as a result of the data conversion.

When using the retrieved data for Load or Copy, the substituted characters will be treated as regular data. For example, non-displayable characters will be replaced with the substitute character (for example ’?’), not the original Unicode character.

This warning window allows you to either continue with the copy process or to return to the Table Copy Selection screen.

The user parameter Display Unicode Warning (in Copy/Extract/Load) controls whether it is actually displayed for your session.

Continue Process

Yes

The copy process continues. File-AID for Db2 copies any qualifying data into the To Table, but any substituted Unicode character will be replaced by the Db2 default substitution character.

No

Exits the window and displays the Table Copy Selection screen again, allowing you to specify another Table to copy.
