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.

Graphical Relationship Display with user profile SAMPMENU

File-AID/RDX displays the Graphical Relationship Display screen illustrated in the following figure when you enter the GRAPHIC command on the Relationship Sampling Criteria screen.

Graphical Relationship Display

To select a relationship to perform an operation on:

In this field…

Do the following:

Command

Press the DOWN and TAB keys until the cursor is on the occurrence of the object for which you want to display the Option List pop-up window (for Graphical Relationship Display with Option List it is the last relationship of the GRAPHICS display).

Press Enter

File-AID/RDX displays the Option List pop-up window (Graphical Relationship Display with Option List)

Understanding the Graphical Relationship Display

The body of the Graphical Relationship Display screen consists of a graphical representation of the relationships in which the driving object you specified is involved. Read the Graphical Relationship Display as follows:

  • Objects are identified by their:
    • Object type, either DB2, MVS, or IMS
    • Object name
      • DB2 objects include the table or view name. The Creator name is displayed only if necessary to have a unique name or when you enter the CREATOR primary command (see CREATORprimary command).
      • MVS objects include the fully qualified file name (quoted).
      • IMS objects include the fully qualified IMS database file name (quoted).
  • Relationships are arranged such that each object that has no parents is at the top of a group. Each group, consists of an object that has no parents, its dependents, their dependents, etc. File-AID/RDX displays one group of relationships for each object that has no parents. In Graphical Relationship Display, CUSTOMER, PARTTABL, and PART_TABLE have no parents. They are at the top of their groups, respectively. There are three groups displayed; use the UP and DOWN scroll commands to view all relationships.

Important

In situations involving cyclical relationships, File-AID/RDX puts the object for which the most detailed dependent display can be shown at the top of the group.

  • The driving object is highlighted. In Graphical Relationship Display, ORDER_TABLE is the driving table and is therefore highlighted.
  • Relationships are displayed as lines that connect the boxes. Lines start at the bottom of parent objects and end at the left side of dependent objects. In Graphical Relationship Display, CUSTOMER_TABLE is a parent of ORDER_TABLE and CONTACT_TABLE, and ORDER_TABLE is a parent of ORDER_LINE_TABLE.
  • Relationships that have been excluded from the extract are denoted by an X to the left of the dependent object. In Graphical Relationship Display, the following relationships are marked with an x denoting exclusion from the extract:
    'TSOID01.FRSAMP.CUSTOMER' ===> 'TSOID01.FRSAMP.ORDERTAB'
    'TSOID01.FRSAMP.ORDERTAB' ===> 'TSOID01.FRSAMP.ORDERLIN'
  • Objects that are a dependent in more than one relationship, and are thus displayed more than once, are denoted by an asterisk (*). ORDER_LINE_TABLE is a dependent of both CUSTOMER_TABLE and PART_TABLE. In Graphical Relationship Display ORDER_LINE_TABLE is, therefore, displayed with an asterisk next to it.

You can scroll UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT to see information that does not fit on a single screen.

Use the TAB key to move the cursor from object to object. When the cursor is next to an object, you can press ENTER to display a list of options available as shown in Graphical Relationship Display with Option List.

Primary Command

The following File-AID/RDX-specific primary command is valid on this screen:

COMMAND

DESCRIPTION

CREATOR

Enter the CREATOR primary command in the graphical relationship display and all Db2 objects will include their Creator ID. This command acts as a toggle command, thus, when entering the command again, Db2 objects will include their Creator ID only when there is more than one object with the same name.
