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.

Editing your user profiles

You have two types of user profiles. Your session user profile contains attributes of your File-AID for Db2 Object Administration session, such as your PF keys. These attributes are retained from session to session.

Your subsystem user profile contains information specific to a Db2 subsystem. This information includes the job statements for generating JCL, default creators, and the like. You may have more than one subsystem user profile.

Both types of profiles are accessible through the user profile windows that you access in this section. Other options and profiles that affect how File-AID for Db2 Object Administration functions for you are described in detail in section 6, Options and Profiles.

What’s in this section

After you learn to access your user profile windows, you learn to change your job statement defaults, PF keys, and other defaults. These instructions apply to both your session user profile and your subsystem user profile.

Other ways to access the user profile windows

Most of your user profile can be accessed through the User Profile windows. In this section, you access these windows by selecting PROFILE from the Main Menu. These additional methods are available to execute the fast-path command MENU.PRO. This command opens a new Main Menu and Profile Display Menu.

Other aspects of your profile can be set through primary commands. These commands and the User Profile windows are detailed in this section.

Step-by-step instructions

These instructions provide specific steps for accessing the windows that you can use to change your job statements, your PF keys, and the current status for many profile values.

Complete Learning the Basics before using this section for information on making selections and managing the windows.

Changing default values

This section shows you how to change the default data sets, and job statements that File-AID for Db2 Object Administration uses when generating JCL. These values are part of your subsystem user profile. You can specify other values for other subsystems.

Access File-AID for Db2 Object Administration from the File-AID for Db2 Utilities Menu. The File-AID for Db2 Object Administration Main Menu should be displayed.
Select PROFILE from the Command column.
The Profile Display menu opens (see the following figure).
Profile Display menu. Your window opens at the upper-left corner.
Select USER from the Profile Display menu.
The User Profile Display and Edit window opens (see the following figure).
User Profile Display and Edit Window. This window shows defaults for both your subsystem and session user profiles.
Enter the MAXIMIZE primary command in the User Profile Display and Edit window.
Your window enlarges to fill the size of the screen (the following figure).
Maximized User Profile Display and Edit window. This window is maximized.
Make changes as necessary by typing over existing values.
When you press Enter after making a change, a message window opens that shows which values have been updated. Press <Help> for an explanation of any field.
The total number of rows in the User Profile Display and Edit window is shown in the lower left window border. To scroll down, use the <Down> key. The default is PF8. To scroll up, use the <Up> key. The default is PF7.
Press <End> to remove the User Profile Display and Edit window.
The Profile Display menu remains (Profile Display menu. Your window opens at the upper-left corner).
Select another category from the Profile Display menu. Make changes as necessary.
Keep making changes until you are satisfied with your profile.

Changing Your PF key assignments

You can also use the User Profile Options window to change your current PF key assignments. Another way, not discussed in this section, is to execute the KEYS primary command. Your screen should look like Profile Display menu. Your window opens at the upper-left corner before you continue.

Select KEYS from the Profile Display Menu.
A window opens that shows your current PF key assignments (see the following figure). Type over the current values to change them. When you press Enter, File-AID for Db2 Object Administration opens a message window. To return your PF keys to the default settings, enter the RESET command in this window.
Only in this window will the RESET command restore the default PF key assignments. RESET in all other windows restores a window to its initial status by unexcluding columns and rows, releasing columns from frozen or hidden status, and deleting pending row commands.
Default PF Keys. This window is maximized.
Press <End> to save changes.
If you don’t want to save the changes, press <Cancel>.
Press <Exit> to return to the Main Menu.

Finding defaults for system variables

System variables are current values from your session user profile, subsystem user profile, and installation options. Some are Db2-related variables that you use for most catalog operations, such as executing SQL. Your screen may be showing any window to continue with this section.

Execute the fast-path command MENU.PRO.SYSVAR.
Fast-path commands are entered in the COMMAND field. File-AID for Db2 Object Administration opens the System Variables window (see the following figure). Some of these variables are assigned during installation and cannot be changed. Others can be changed in the User Profile Display and Edit window shown in Maximized User Profile Display and Edit window. This window is maximized. For an explanation of each variable, see section 6, Options and Profiles.
The SHOW primary command with the SYSVAR keyword also opens the System Variables window.
Press <Exit> to return to the Main Menu.
Current System Variables. This window is maximized.
