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.

This screen displays a list of objects retrieved from either the Db2 catalog (Option 6) or the relationship file (Option 4). It also displays whether an object is already involved in relationships defined in the relationship file (AR or RI) or not (CATLG). If there are more objects that match the pattern you specified on the previous screen than will fit on the screen, you can scroll the list using standard scrolling commands. Enter one of the available line commands for an object.

CMD

Enter a line command in this column next to the object for which you want to maintain relationships. The available line commands are shown in the top part of this screen.

Object Name

Displays the names of either Db2 or MVS objects that match the value specified in the Creator and Table name fields on the preceding screen.

Relation Type

Displays the Relationship Type of the displayed objects.

AR

One or more Application Relationships exist for this object in the relationship file.

RI

One or more Db2 RI relationships exist for this object in the relationship file.

AR/RI

Both AR and RI exist for this object in the relationship file.

catalg

There are no relationships defined for this object in the relationship file.

SSID

Displays the ID of the Db2 subsystem from which the relationship had been defined or loaded.

Line Commands

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

A

Add Application Relationship. Enter the A line command to add an application relationship. Displays the Add Relationships — Specify Object Types so you can specify the parent and dependent object types for the new relationship. See Add Relationships — Specify Object Types.

B

Browse Relationship File. Enter the B line command to search the relationship file for previously stored relationships.

B enables you to view a list of all objects defined to your relationship file that are “related” to the object (MVS file or Db2 table or view) you specify. You can then select a single relationship about which you want to view detailed information from the list. For more information, see Relationship Detail.

The message "Selection not viewable" appears if no relationships exist in the relationship file for the object (Relation Type CATLG).

E

Edit Application Relationships. Enter the E line command to search the relationship file for previously stored application relationships for the selected object.

E displays a list of all application relationships defined to your relationship file that are “related” to the selected object (MVS file or Db2 table or view). You can then maintain (modify, add, delete) application relationships or display more detail information about any of the application relationships from the list.

The message "Selection not viewable" appears if no relationships exist in the relationship file for the object (Relation Type CATLG).

The message "Can’t edit RI relationship" appears if only RI relationships exist in the relationship file for the object (Relation Type RI).

L

Load RI. Enter the L line command to maintain the relationship file for Db2 RI information for the selected object. L enables you to load or refresh Db2-defined RI information in your relationship file using information from the Db2 catalog. In addition, you can delete RI relationship data from the relationship file.
