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.

MVS file selection criteria

When you enter the S line command to specify selection criteria for an MVS object in the Object Selection Criteria screen. File-AID/RDX continues with the Selection Criteria Menu - TEMPORARY and allows you to specify the selection criteria to be applied to the selected MVS object. The selection criteria will limit the records to be extracted from the object to those that meet the criteria.

The Temporary Selection Criteria function allows you to create sets of criteria that File-AID/RDX uses to select records in a data file for processing.

File-AID/RDX provides selection criteria options and formatted selection criteria. The selection criteria options allow you to specify:

  • Where to begin record selection
  • How to continue (selection intervals)
  • When to stop
  • Processing direction.

The selection criteria options can be combined with formatted selection criteria.

Formatted selection criteria allow you to select records based on data within a field as specified by a record layout.

Temporary selection criteria are valid only for the duration of the extract function. Temporary selection criteria are not stored for future use unless you explicitly save the Extract Request file (see Output Key File Definition). When you finish creating the temporary selection criteria, they are applied and you continue with the Extract utility.

The next section in this chapter discusses the screen presentation order and navigation commands available for Selection Criteria.
