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.

DLI parameters

The following figure is displayed when you select Option 2, DLI Parameters, from the Parameters Selection Menu. Use this screen to view/modify the current DLI parameter information.

Important

Fields blanked out on the screen default to their associated values in the current IMS environment definition. All changes to the fields remain in effect and are saved from session to session.

If you allocate the DFSRESLB, DFSVSAMP, or RECON DDs before invoking File-AID for IMS/ISPF, it does not attempt to allocate or de-allocate them. File-AID for IMS/ISPF also does not validate the data sets that you allocated to DDs.

Changes here override the current environment defaults. When selecting another environment using Option E, you have the option to retain the current setting or restore environment defaults (see Retain environment modifications).

Use the RESTORE command to remove override values and use environment defaults.

Important

Some fields are cleared (blank) while others actually display the default settings for the current environment.

DLI PARMS

Specify the DL/I parameters to pass to DFSRRC00 (the IMS region controller). File-AID for IMS generates the "DLI, pgmname, psbname," portion of the DFSRRC00 parameters and concatenates them in front of the DL/I parameters. The DL/I parameters syntax contains 15 commas:

,0000,,,,,,,,,d,i,,b,,

where:


    • d represents DBRC and can be C, Y, N, or NULL.
    • i represents IRLM and can be Y, N or NULL.
    • b represents BKO and can be Y, N, or NULL.

We recommend that you specify Y in the BKO (backout) operand. The value Y enables you to update all secondary index source segments. The value N prevents you from updating secondary index source segments for which File-AID for IMS/ISPF cannot guarantee uniqueness. For more information, see IMS System Programming Reference.

BUF

Specify the number of 1K blocks, for calculating OSAM subpools if IOBF is not specified in DFSVSAMP.

CKPTID

Checkpoint for restart of program.

MON

IMS monitor active. Valid entries are N=No or Y=Yes.

LOGA
