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.

Using load function

Option 3, Load, enables you to load data from the File-AID/RDX extract file into multiple related objects. Data extracted from Db2 objects can be loaded into Db2 objects using either Db2 load utility or SQL insert statements. Data extracted from MVS files can be loaded into MVS files.

In this section, you will learn how to use File-AID/RDX’s Auto Create feature to create target objects that do not exist in the target environment you specified. You will then load extracted sample data and submit the load JCL. To illustrate the Load function, you will:

  • Specify the extract file name and load processing option
  • Modify the Target Table Creator ID for Db2 objects
  • Modify the Target Prefix for MVS objects
  • Create missing target objects
  • Assign a default value (literal) to a column in a target object
  • Specify insert/load options and submit the JCL.
