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.

Manipulating windows


Once a Related Table Edit session is initiated, manipulating the windows is simple using primary commands. we recommend that you assign commonly used primary commands (JUMP, REDIT, ROW and TABLE) to a PF key to facilitate working with multiple windows, or select the commands from the pull-down menus.

Navigating Through Multiple Windows

File-AID for Db2 allows an unlimited number of tables to be open during an edit session. However, only one table can be edited at a time. Use the JUMP command to move from window to window. Once you jump to a new window, it becomes active. You can only edit data in an active window.

Blank

Makes the next sequential table active. Wraps to the first table when the last table is reached.

table name

Makes the specified table active. You only need to prefix the table name with the creator if the creator uniquely identifies the table; for example, you are editing both TSOID01.EMP and TSOID99.EMP.

nnnn

Moves to the nnnth table.

JUMP Command — Window 2 Now Active shows a Related Table Edit session. The active window is window number 4. Enter JUMP 2 to make window number 2 active and to allow editing of the EMP table.

Scrolling Windows

When you issue the UP or DOWN primary commands, or a FIND command that results in scrolling to a new row, all dependent tables are refetched so that the rows in the dependent tables relate to the new row in the parent table. If scrolling results in no rows in the dependent table relating to the parent table, an insert line displays. The foreign key field is filled with the primary key value from the parent table. You cannot insert data into a dependent table if its parent window is empty.

DOWN Primary Command

When you issue the DOWN command in window 1, the windows redisplay as follows:

  • Window 1: The DEPT table display is scrolled one row. The new DEPTNO is B01.
  • Window 2: The EMP rows are refetched where the WORKDEPT = B01. The new EMPNO is 000020.
  • Window 3: The PROJ rows are refetched where the RESPEMP = 000020. The new PROJNO is PL2100.
  • Window 4 (not currently displayed): The PROJACT rows are refetched where the PROJNO = PL2100.

Sizing Windows

Use the MAX primary command to enlarge a window to full screen size. Use the MIN primary command to reduce the window size and resume multiple table viewing. Once a table is maximized, all windows are maximized when using the JUMP command. Tables remain maximized until you issue the MIN command.
