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. | |
Data disguise - column list
The Data Disguise - Column/Field List screen shown in the following figure is displayed when you select an object from the Data Disguise - Object List.
It lists all columns/fields of the selected object along with the assigned disguise rule and rule description.
Use the available line commands to manage the disguise information for the column.

******************************* Bottom of data ********************************
After you completed all desired disguise criteria for this object, press END to return to Data Disguise - Object List.
Disguise Object
Identifies the name of the object you selected in the Data Disguise - Object List.
Column/Field Name
Identifies the name of the columns/fields of the object. An asterisk (*) to the right of the column name indicates a related column.
Type(Length)
Displays the column’s or field’s data type. The length of the data is displayed in parentheses immediately following the data type for CHAR, CH, VCHAR, VC, GRPH, VGRPH, DEC, FIXPIC, National data types only.
Unicode Db2 character data types are identified as CH(x), VC(x) or LV(x) with a suffix of U16 or U-8. Unicode character data from an MVS file is identified as N(x) U-16.
For more information about data types displayed in this column, see Data Type Values.
Disguise Rule
Identifies the disguise rule and description assigned to the column/field. When the criteria is stored in a disguise criteria file, File-AID/RDX generates a unique name for each rule and identifies its mode with a prefix, either A, R or U.
Annnnnnn identifies an associated rule
Rnnnnnnn identifies a related rule
Unnnnnnn identifies an unrelated rule
Position the cursor on the field and enter the EXPAND command to view the entire field contents.
Line Commands
The following File-AID/RDX-specific line command is valid:
A (Add/Assign Rule)
Displays the Associated Rules List where you can select an already defined associated disguise rule or create a new associated rule to assign to this column (see also Associated Rules List). You can only enter the A line command for a column that does not have a rule assigned to it, yet.
I (Info)
Displays the disguise information for the selected column. The presented information differs depending on the type of disguise rule, related, associated, or unrelated. The following figure displays the information for unrelated columns/fields.
Unrelated Rules Information - Criteria in Disguise Criteria File
S (Select)
Selects this column as a column to be disguised or to modify its existing disguise information. When you press Enter, File-AID/RDX transfers control over to BMC Compuware File-AID/Data Solutions’s Disguise function where you actually define or modify the disguise criteria for the selected object. Depending on the column type File-AID/RDX transfers to BMC Compuware File-AID/Data Solutions in either Related, Associated, or Unrelated mode (see also File-AID/Data Solutions Criteria Menu).
When selecting a column that already has a disguise rule defined for it, you can modify the disguise criteria as long as the criteria was defined for the selected object and column.
However, when selecting a column with an Associated or Related disguise rule that was defined using a different object and column, a warning message informs that you can either modify the criteria using the original object and column or cancel your selection.
U (Unassign Rule)
Removes any disguise rule from this column. Notice the behavior depending on the type of rule:
- Unassigning a rule from a related field will unassign it from all related columns.
- Unassigning a rule from an associated field will only affect that object. However, if unassigned from the object of origin, (the object used to define the rule), a warning popup will display all of the places where the rule was applied and the rule will be unassigned from all the associated objects, unless you cancel the command.
- Unassigning an unrelated rule will remove criteria from all unrelated fields. To remove criteria from a single unrelated field, cancel the Unassign, then use the S line command to select the rule and remove the criteria with File-AID/RDX Solutions.
Unassigning a rule does not delete it from the criteria file as it might be used by another Disguise Control File.
Primary Commands
The following File-AID/RDX-specific primary commands are valid:
FIND (F)
Searches the list for the specified string and scrolls the list to display the first matching entry at the top of the displayed entries. Use RFind to repeat the search.
SIZE (S)
Increases the scrollable area to display more entries at a time by hiding some of the screen header lines. SIze is a toggle switch so enter SIze again to return to the original format.
SORT (SO)
Sorts the displayed list by the specified display column name.
Associated Rules List
The Associated Rules List shown in the following figure is displayed when you enter an A line command for a column in the Data Disguise - Column/Field List.
Associated rules are a special kind of criteria for unrelated fields. The criteria are always defined for a single field and will be stored separately by associated field. Other objects can share this type of criteria. The same field can exist in multiple objects even though the fields are not related. Associated rules allow the criteria to be defined once and applied to the other objects where the same data exists. You must manually identify the objects and fields that are to share the associated criteria with the A line command; File-AID/RDX does not provide automated identification assistance.
Associated rules are like related criteria but instead of the Relationship File identifying where the criteria are to be applied, you identify the data locations. Any changes made to associated disguise criteria will apply to all objects that share the criteria.
BMC Compuware File-AID/Data Solutions provides disguise options that are repeatable, but it is up to you to choose a disguise method that will return the same replacement value in all objects if the values are to be consistent across objects.
The Associated Rules List lists all currently defined associated rules. You can select an existing rule or create a new one. The associated rule must match the column type and length of the selected column.
Use the available line commands to manage the associated rules for the column.
Associated Rules List
After you selected an existing or defined and selected a new rule, press END to return to Data Disguise - Column/Field List.
Column/Field
Identifies the name of the column/field for which you entered the A line command in the Data Disguise - Column/Field List.
Disguise Object
Identifies the name of the object you selected in the Data Disguise - Object List.
Disguise Rule
Identifies the defined disguise rule by its member name in the Disguise Criteria File and displays the disguise rule description as entered during the disguise creation.
Use the SCROLL LEFT and SCROLL RIGHT commands to view descriptions that are longer than the display field.
Type
Displays the column’s or field’s data type. For more information about data types displayed in this column, see Data Type Values.
Length
Displays the column’s or field’s data length.
Line Commands
The following File-AID/RDX-specific line command is valid:
I (Info)
Displays the disguise information for the selected associated rule.
S (Select)
Assigns this associated rule to the column/field and returns to the Data Disguise - Column List with the selected rule assigned to the column/field.
Primary Commands
The following File-AID/RDX-specific primary commands are valid:
NEW
Allows you to define a new associated criteria rule for this column. When you press Enter, File-AID/RDX transfers control over to BMC Compuware File-AID/Data Solutions's Disguise function in associated mode. There you actually define the new associated disguise criteria (see Criteria Menu - Associated Mode). After defining the new associated rule, you return to the Data Disguise - Column List with the new rule assigned to the column.
FIND (F)
Searches the list for the specified string and scrolls the list to display the first matching entry at the top of the displayed entries. Use RFind to repeat the search.
SIZE (SI)
Increases the scrollable area to display more entries at a time by hiding some of the screen header lines. SIze is a toggle switch so enter SIze again to return to the original format.
SORT (SO)
Sorts the displayed list by the specified column name.
