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.

Defining data disguise criteria

This section introduces the data privacy function for related extracts. It requires that you also have BMC Compuware File-AID/Data Solutions Release 4.4 or more recent installed at your site.

To illustrate the Data Privacy function, you will:

  • Allocate a Data Disguise Control File
  • Allocate a Data Disguise Criteria File
  • Specify the BMC Compuware File-AID/Data Solutions parameters for the Data Disguise function
  • Define disguise criteria for objects in the extract request you saved in Extract—With User Profile SAMPMENU.
    • Define related criteria for FRSAMP.ORDER_TABLE
    • Define associated criteria for FRSAMP.CUSTOMER
    • Assign an associated rule to FRSAMP.CONTACT, FRSAMP.CONTACT_TABLE, and FRSAMP.CUSTOMER_TABLE
    • Define unrelated criteria for FRSAMP.PART_TABLE
    • Define associated criteria for FRSAMP.ORDER_TABLE
    • Assign associated rules to FRSAMP.ORDERTAB
  • Execute extract request with disguise enabled
  • Disguise existing extract file

Preparations for the Data Disguise Translate Functions

For the disguise sample criteria to be defined in this section, you need to have copied the FRSAMP.TRANSLAT PDS. The examples use these sample translate table members:

  • LASTNAME
  • SSANDCC

You can also create your own translate tables:

  • LASTNAME with an LRECL of at least 30 and made up contact names that are different from the contact names in the FRSAMP tables.
  • SSANDCC with an LRECL of at least 33 and made up customer numbers (6 characters, positions 1-6), social security numbers (11 characters, positions 7-17), and credit card numbers (16 characters, positions 18-33) that are different from the values in the FRSAMP tables.

Screens and Pop-Up Windows of the Data Privacy Function

The following list identifies the names of all the Data Privacy screens and pop-up windows within File-AID/RDX and BMC Compuware File-AID/Data Solutions as well as their relationship to each other. The pop-up windows are listed directly below the name of the screen that it follows:
