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.

Delete - Request file member list

The Request File Member List shown in the following figure is displayed when you enter the REQUEST primary command on the Delete Reference List screen.

This screen displays the member list of a saved request file. Use one of the line commands to select a member for your delete request.

If you select a member that does not contain valid delete request information, File-AID/RDX will issue a message. Select a different member or issue the NEW or REFERENCE command to start another delete request.

Important

If you want to delete from an extract file created prior to Release 3.0, use the NEW command to initiate a new delete request. Then you can enter the name of the extract file to be used.

Request File

If you didn’t specify a name with the REQUEST command, the request file name comes from your current profile. Enter a new file name to change to a different saved request file and File-AID/RDX will display its member list.

The lower part of the screen displays a listing of the file’s members.

Member

Member name in the saved delete, extract, or load request file. The member names are displayed in alphabetical order.

Description

Text that was entered in the Description field when the delete, extract, or load request or extract criteria was created. If you left the field blank during the request creation, File-AID/RDX sets the description to the driving object type and name.

Changed

Date when the member was last saved.

Line Commands

The following File-AID/RDX-specific line commands are valid on this screen:

D (Delete)

Delete this member from the request file. Displays the Delete Confirmation window.

Delete Confirmation window

G (Go)

Submits this delete request without any changes. The request must be a saved delete or load request (RT must be D or L). File-AID/RDX validates the request before submitting the JCL for the delete request.

Important

The G line command is not available if the delete request includes objects with XML and/or LOB columns. Use the S line command to process the delete request.

R (Rename)

Rename the request member. The Rename Confirmation window allows you to enter a new name for the request file member.

Primary Commands

Increases the scrollable area to display more entries at a time by hiding some of the screen header lines. See the following figure for an example. SIZE is a toggle switch so enter SIZE again to return to the original format.
