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.

Batch Job Options Area

Region size

Specify the region size for extract or load batch jobs to be run with this profile.

Include a SYSUDUMP DD in JCL (required for an Abend-AID report)

Specify whether or not the batch job (Extract, Disguise or Load) should generate an BMC Compuware Abend-AID report. Of course, you must have Compuware’s BMC Compuware Abend-AID program installed in order to receive the reports. If BMC Compuware Abend-AID is not installed and an abend occurs a standard SYSUDUMP will be written to this DD statement.

Table Progress Row Count

Values allowed are 0 to 99999999, or *. For an extract with progress report active, the Table Progress Row Count parameter specifies the update interval per rows extracted for each object. * (asterisk) means that the progress report is updated each time File-AID/RDX has completed extracting rows from an object. The value 0 turns off progress reporting. See also Extract Progress Report.

Increment job name

Specify whether you want the automatic job name incrementation or not for all jobs using this profile. If Yes, File-AID/RDX will increment the last character of the job name after each submission for the current TSO session.

Job Statement Information

Specify job card information for batch jobs using the current profile. If left blank here in the profile, File-AID/RDX will use the job card information specified in Option-G-global-user-defaults.

Important

When disguising an extract with BMC Compuware File-AID Data Privacy defined Dynamic Privacy Rules (DPR), specify a region size large enough to run Java (REGION=0M is suggested, 200M is the minimum) in your jobcard. See also Disguise Extract File, option 2, DPR.
