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.

Step 2—Selecting from the Load Menu


File-AID/RDX displays the Load Menu illustrated in the following figure after you selected a load request from the n extract file Option 3 from the File-AID/RDX Primary Option Menu.

The Load Menu also displays when you select a previous load request from the Request File Member List or specified an extract file with the NEW primary commend.

Your profile might have disabled the display of the Load Menu when in flow mode. To display the Load Menu panel enter the primary command MENU on any of the load option panels.

Based on the current profile SAMPMENU, Options 1, 2, and 3 have been preselected for flow mode.

File-AID/RDX displays the Load Object Specification screen.

Options and Descriptions

The following list describes all of the fields on this screen.

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

Extract File Name

Name of the file that contains the extracted related data to be loaded.

Description

Displays the description text for the current load request as entered with the Save Load Request option. Using this description is a helpful way to document your load request.

Load Menu Options

Enter the option number (1 - 8) to select the desired option or enter ALL to step through all options in sequence. Alternatively, you may also select one or more options with the S or / line command.

The Current Values column are display fields only and are updated upon return from each of the load menu options to reflect the current status and value for the option.

The following lists the options you can select from this screen.

OPTION

DESCRIPTION

1 - Load Object Specifications

Displays the Load Object Specification where you can specify Db2 target information such as Db2 subsystem, location, load method information and preserve temporal information, and global object name modifiers for Db2 Creator, Db2 Index name pre- and suffix, MVS high-level qualifier and MVS file name suffix. The option to revert to source names undoes all applied object name modifiers without having to exit the Load function.

Current Values shows the target SSID (Db2 subsystem ID) for all Db2 objects that are part of this load request as well as the load method (Db2 load utility or SQL INSERT statements).

2 - Source to Target Mapping

Displays the Source to Target Mapping panel where you specify information about the target objects (location, subsystem, creator, and tables for Db2 objects; fully qualified file names for MVS objects) to which data in the extract file will be loaded. In the list of objects you can mark objects to be excluded from the load process. From this screen you also invoke the process of mapping columns between source and target objects.

Current Values show whether source and target columns have been mapped and whether objects have been excluded from the load process.

3 - Target Environment

Displays the Target Environment panel that lists all target objects to be loaded including those that don’t exist yet but will be created using the create information from the extract file. For objects to be created you can then edit the create information to fit your specific target environment. Optionally, you can size the objects to be created based on the extract data as opposed to the original source create information.

Current Values displays the number of MVS and Db2 target objects to be created.

4 - Existing Data Options

Displays the Existing Data Options panel where you specify what to do with the existing data of the target objects, whether to delete all records, or replace existing records.

Current Values displays the specified options.

5 - Processing Options

Displays the Processing Options panel where you can specify Db2 load as well as discard processing options.

Current Values displays the specified option.

6 - Save Load Request

Specify whether to save this load request in a file. File-AID/RDX presents the Save Load Request panel where you identify the load request file to save your request to.

Current Values displays NO or the name of the load request file.

7 - View JCL

Select this option to view the JCL for this load request. File-AID/RDX shows the Generated JCL panel where you review and modify the load JCL.

8 - Submit JCL

Submits the JCL for this load request. Watch for the message that the job has been submitted and later for the completion message.
