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.

Data Disguise Reports

After the data disguise job is submitted and executed, the File-AID for Db2 Disguise reports are generated.

File-AID for Db2 Data Privacy Summary Report 

The Disguise Data Privacy Report shown in the following figure shows the file names for the input and output extract files and the Disguise Control File, followed by the data disguise information for each disguised object.

Data Privacy Summary Report

The Data Privacy Summary Report first lists the pre-disguised (input) and disguised (output) extract file names. Then, if the disguise used the File-AID Disguise Control File (DCF), it lists the disguise control, and business rules file names that were used during the disguise process. Or, if the disguise used File-AID Data Privacy, the report identifies the Disguise Privacy Project Name and the Privacy Rules Repository Name. The disguise report then lists the following information for each disguised object:

Object

The name of the object preceded by object type identifier (D for Db2, M for MVS).

Rows

Identifies the number of extracted Db2 rows or MVS records for the object.

Column

Name of the column/field that the following disguise rule is assigned to.

Rule

Displays the rule assigned to the column with the rule description.

File

Displays the name of the disguise criteria file, if the disguise criteria is stored in a PDS.

Audit File

Displays the name of the disguise audit trail file for the disguised object, if an audit trail was requested for the disguise (see Create Audit Trail). This is the file name you specify when you request printing an audit trail (see Print Disguise Audit Trail).

Set n Disguise Method

Identifies the set number of the disguise method that was applied to the above listed object columns/fields. It also lists the number of records read, selected for disguise, fields changed, and invalids.

If an error occurs during the disguise for an object, the error information will also be displayed in this place.

Important

This information may not be displayed when the disguise values have been propagated from columns/fields that have already been disguised in a previous step. The columns/fields are disguised, unless an error message indicates otherwise.

At the end of the report a note identifies how many of the extracted objects were not scheduled to be disguised.
