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.

Creating the table definition

Execute the CR (create) row command next to EMP.

Two windows open with attributes acquired from the existing table (see the following figure):

  • Edit Create Table Information (outer window): Specifies table attributes.

  • Edit Columns (inner window): Specifies attributes for the table’s columns.

    Collectively, these windows are called the table editing windows. You can use any edit row or primary command to change attributes to create a new table definition. A few fields are protected from change, as indicated by a different color on your screen.

    Inner windows cannot be closed individually. Only the outer window can be closed.

Each object in the Db2 catalog has a similar set of editing windows which you can access with the CR row command. Later in this section, you’ll access the index editing window.

Many of these object editing windows have special commands. The outer table editing window, for example, has a CALC primary command for calculating space requirements for your new table. Also, you can use the CONSTRAINTS primary command to define unique, referential, and column constraints. Most of the object editing windows also have ALTER, CREATE, and DROP available.
