FAQs and additional resources

This topic answers common questions and explains how to access additional resources, including BMC Support.

This documentation contains information about the associated product or solution. This topic describes the special conventions that apply to this documentation.

SPE-specific content

A small programming enhancement (SPE) is a package of one or more PTFs that you apply to implement enhancements and fixes. We periodically release SPEs, which we announce in technical bulletins. This topic describes how we document SPE-specific content in our product documentation.

Important

SPE names take the following format: BMC.AMIxxx.SPExxxx

The first variable represents the fixed category (FIXCAT) identifier.
The second variable represents the SPE number. For example, SPE2110 refers to the SPE released in October 2021.

Identifying new or changed content for an SPE

Content within a topic that is added or updated for an SPE is indicated by a link to the technical bulletin that announced the SPE. For example:

select graph.png

If an entire topic or section within a topic is new for an SPE, the link appears at the beginning of the topic or the section. For example:

delete from.png

Important

Syntax diagrams and interface panels are always current up to and including the latest SPE.

Finding topics with changes for an SPE

To see a list of new or changed topics for an SPE, search for BMC.AMIxxx.SPEyymm from any page in this documentation (for example, BMC.AMIOPS.SPE2203).
