This site will undergo a maintenance outage on Saturday, 13 September beginning at 2:30 AM Central/1 PM IST for a platform upgrade. The downtime will be ~three hours.

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.

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.

Do the following:

Line Command

Type a C next to RDXMENU.

You can use the scrolling commands to display additional profile entries, if the list is longer than the display can hold. The total number of entries is displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the window.

New Name

Leave blank.

If you type in a new name here you copy the profile in the same file that you are copying from, in this case SITE. For this exercise, you want to copy it to your USER profile file.

Press Enter

File-AID/RDX displays the Copy Profile window where you can specify the new profile name (member name) and profile type, USER or SITE.

Field Names and Descriptions

The following list describes the fields on this screen.

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

Type

Specify which profile file to open.

SITE
identifies the installation wide profile file.
USER

prefix
identifies a profile file with the specified high level qualifier (up to 26 positions). Entering a prefix that includes the string &USERID will substitute the current userid when the profile file is allocated. The prefix must not include the midlevel qualifier.
Example: prefix FDM.&USERID allocates FDM.userid.RDX.PROFILE.
The TYPE field, however, continues to display &USERID.

If the specified profile doesn’t exit, File-AID/RDX attempts to create the profile file.
