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.

Displaying and editing the index definition

The CR row command also creates a new index with attributes acquired from a similar index. This section shows you how to display a list of related indexes using the IX row command on a table, then use the CR command on a related index to create the new index. Your screen must look like Completed Table Editing Windows. File-AID for Db2 Object Administration automatically generates the SQL based on the data currently showing in the definition windows before you continue.

Perform the following steps to display and edit the index definition:

  1. Execute the IX (related indexes) row command next to EMPTEST.

    This row command displays indexes related to the originally selected EMP table (Index Display. This window is maximized). The example has two indexes: XEMP1 and XEMP2.

  2. Execute the CR row command next to XEMP1.

    The following index editing windows open (see the following figure):

    • Edit Create Index Information
    • Model Index Partitions
    • Index Partitions which differ from model
    • Index Columns.

    These windows display index attributes acquired from the existing index XEMP1.

  3. Make the following changes in the Edit Index Information window:
    1. Change the number of partitions by entering 8 in the PART field
    2. Type XEMPTEST over XEMP1 to change the index name.
    3. Type EMPTEST over EMP in the TBNAME field to change the table name.
    4. Type your user ID in the IXCREATOR field.
    5. Type your user ID in the TBCREATOR field.

  4. Make the following changes in the Model Index Partition window:

    1. Change the primary quantity to 20 in the PRIQTY field
    2. Change the secondary quantity to 5 in the SECQTY field

    This will create 8 equally sized index partitions.

    Your screen should now look similar to the following figure.
