Writer instructions
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.

DB2 relationship facilitator

The following figure is displayed when you select Option 1, Relationships, from the File-AID/RDX Primary Option Menu and your profile specifies Db2 as the default driving object type (see also Default driving object type). The Db2 Relationship Facilitator screen also appears when you enter the Db2 command in the MVS Relationship Facilitator screen.

Use this screen to specify the name of the table or view for which you want to maintain relationships and the File-AID/RDX relationship file that contains the information about those relationships. Then enter one of the menu options to specify the action you want to perform. When pressing Enter without selecting an option, File-AID/RDX selects option 4, List RDX, and lists all matching entries found in the relationship file. File-AID/RDX issues a message when the relationship file does not contain any entries for the specified Db2 object.

Menu Options

The following File-AID/RDX-specific menu options are valid on this screen:

1 - Browse All

Browse Relationship File. Select Option 1 to search the relationship file for previously stored relationships that match the specified object.

Option 1, Browse All, 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.

When browsing existing relationships you can also modify, delete, and add new application relationships.

2 - Edit AR

Edit Application Relationships. Select Option 2 to search the relationship file for previously stored application relationships.

Option 2, Edit AR, 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. From the list, you can then select a single relationship about which you want to view detailed information. For more information, see Application Relationship Detail.

3 - Add AR

Add Application Relationship. Select Option 3 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.

4 - List RDX

(Default) List all Db2 objects from the Relationship File. Select Option 4 to search the relationship file for matching Db2 objects.

Option 4, List RDX, enables you to view a list of all Db2 objects defined to your relationship file that “match” the object specification. See Db2 Object List.

5 - Load RI

Select Option 5 to maintain the relationship file for Db2 RI information. Option 5 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. See Db2 RI Update Online Options.

6 - List DB2

Search the Db2 Catalog and Relationship File. Select Option 6 to find objects in the Db2 catalog that match your specified pattern.

Option 6 enables you to view a list of all objects in the Db2 catalog that match the specified pattern. It also checks the relationship file and informs you whether it includes an entry for the object. See Db2 Object List.

A - Allocate

Displays the Allocate Relationship File panel where you can allocate a new relationship file. The File-AID/RDX relationship file is the repository that stores the RI and AR relationship definitions so you can extract related data. See Allocate Relationship File.

L- Batch RI Load

Displays the Batch RI Load screen where you can submit batch jobs to update a relationship file with the current RI information for one or more Db2 subsystems. See Batch RI Load.

P - Print

Print Relationships. Displays the Formatted Relationship Report Screen where you can submit a batch job to print a formatted report that contains information from the File-AID/RDX relationship file that you specify. You can also save this report to an existing or new file. See Print Relationship File.

Specify a Table Name or Pattern Area

Use the fields in this area to specify the Db2 object for which you want to retrieve relationship information. When specifying patterns in the fields, File-AID/RDX presents selection lists. These fields don’t apply for the P, Print Relationship file, menu option.

Special Notes for SSID and Location fields

When you enter a pattern and select option 1, 2, or 4 at the same time File-AID/RDX will search the relationship file for matching entries.
For option 3, 5, or 6 you must select the one subsystem ID in the SSID field that is valid for the remote location ID you specify/select in the Location field.
