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.

Option G—global user defaults


The following figure is displayed when you select Option G from the File-AID/RDX Primary Option Menu. Use this screen to specify global parameters for the extract, load and delete reference lists, whether or not to delete the File-AID/RDX control card PDSEs at the end of extract, load, delete, or disguise jobs, default job statement information, a default Dynamic Privacy Rules Repository, and view the current File-AID/RDX version number.

The values you specify here are applied only when your current profile’s corresponding values are blank.

FA/RDX Version

Displays the current version of File-AID/RDX you are using.

Reference List controls

Extract reference list entries

Values allowed are 10 to 250, installation default is 50. Specify the maximum number of extract requests to be stored in the Extract reference list. When the reference list exceeds the maximum number of entries the oldest unlocked entry will roll off the list. See also Extract Reference List.

Load reference list entries

Values allowed are 10 to 250, installation default is 50. Specify the maximum number of load or delete requests to be stored in the Load/Delete reference list. When the reference list exceeds the maximum number of entries the oldest unlocked entry will roll off the list. See also Load Reference List and Delete Reference List.

Job Statement Information

Increment job name

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

Delete in-stream data datasets at EOJ

The last steps, CLEANCTL and CLEANEXT, in the extract, load, delete and disguise jobs delete the File-AID/RDX control card PDSEs and parameter files (FBCNTL, VBCNTL, EXTPARMS). Keeping the data sets until all steps run successfully allows for the restarting of the JCL at any step. See also Control Card Cleanup, here and here, as well as CLEANCTL—File Cleanup (IEFBR14) - Optional, hereherehere, and here.

YES

Deletes the File-AID/RDX control card PDSEs and parameter files at the end of an extract, load, delete or disguise job.

NO

Does not delete the File-AID/RDX control card PDSEs and parameter files at the end of an extract, load, delete or disguise job (Steps CLEANCTL and CLEANEXT are commented out).

DPR: Repository Name

Specify the name of the Repository to be used as the default repository with Disguise Extract File option 2 (see Disguise Extract File). The repository stores the Dynamic Privacy Rules Projects created with the BMC Compuware File-AID Data Privacy component of the BMC Compuware Topaz Workbench.

If your current profile does not include the Repository Name, File-AID/RDX will use the name you specify here. The Repository Name must be set properly, and will be used in combination with Dynamic Privacy Rules Project Name (see also DPR: Project Name) throughout the rest of the product.

BMC Compuware File-AID/Data Solutions and BMC Compuware File-AID Data Privacy are required.

Specify the full repository name (up to 128 characters). Leave blank or enter an asterisk (*) by itself for a list of all available repositories. Then select the desired repository from the list (see Privacy Repository List).

Job Statements

Specify the default job card information for batch jobs.

If your current profile does not include job card information, File-AID/RDX will use the default job card information you specify here. If your current profile includes job card information, the profile’s job card will be used for all extract, load, delete and disguise JCL (see also Job Statement Information).

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.
