BMC Communities FAQ: How do you add attachments?

forums@developer.bmc.com — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:03:58 GMT

I saw a document that was posted with multiple attachments (see http://communities.bmc.com/communities/docs/DOC-6040), but I can't seem to figure out how he did that. It would be very helpful to be able to easily group multiple related documents under the same topic.

Not getting 'watch' emails

carey.walker@hp.com — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 06:40:26 GMT

Sorry if I have missed something - been away from BMCDN for a while - however I have stopped getting emails for threads/communities I had previously set to watch. How can I check and where necessary re-enable this as required??

Posting Images - Fail to show up due to lack of the height/value property on the img tag

jake_morgan@bmc.com — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 06:57:40 GMT

Using both IE and Firefox to post .png files. They were being posted however they were not rendering properly. The html viewed showed the height value on the image was being left out. Manually added and posted, fixed my issue.

file size is not matching

forums@developer.bmc.com — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 03:34:21 GMT

I am at Beijing, China office. Download speed is only about 50KB.

When I downloaded some big file, like 200+ MB. it failed manny times. I got ''file size is not matching" error in download manager(DownThemAll! for Firefox)

But, small files are ok for downloading.

I'm not sure if this web site have something wrong.

Subject: User developed REXX execs behind BBV Ruleset Strategies

----------------------------------------

Looking for shareable REXX execs to automate email notification when certain DB2, MVS, TAPE messages are intercepted. We are just cranking up our automation and could use a 'jumpstart'. Email messaging process will likely be combination of IMFEXEC TAILOR and IMFEXEC JESSUBM due to our SMTP restrictions. Thanx in advance.

BMCDN Problems with Prior/Next Buttons?

forums@developer.bmc.com — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:40:29 GMT

Hia,

Since some days ago, I'm experiencing problems while reviewing the BMCDN Recent Content.

I can only see the first 100 posts (if selecting 50 per page). The rest, I'm not able to access to them, because Next button appears disabled.

If I reduce the number of entries per page, the problem also appears.

Anyone has detected also this strange behaviour?

Best Regards,

Björn.

How to know all posts you've taken part in & How many points achieved?

forums@developer.bmc.com — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 16:59:46 GMT

Hi,

I'd like to ask how can I know all posts where I've taken part in and, if applicable, how many points I achieved.

Sometimes it's difficult to know where you've replied, history doesn't shows you "all history", only the last few days.

Also, it would be nice to order the posts by the last person who replied.

Kind Regards,

Björn.

What type of topics are appropriate for BMCDN?

forums@developer.bmc.com — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 18:20:24 GMT

It seems that there are a number of BMCDN posts that, IMHO, are obviously regarding issues that should be raised to Customer Support. I think it would be beneficial to have some clear guidelines as to what types of questions are appropriate for BMCDN vs. questions that should go to support. For example...anything that has to do with problems or errors installing a product seems like it would be best handled by support. It is important that install issues be tracked by Customer Support to do trend analysis and to escalate issues the engineering where appropriate. It certainly would be beneficial to report back to BMCDN to help provide visibility of issues.

I can't, off hand, think of other examples. It may be difficult to come up with a definitive list, as I realize that there is overlap. But I thought this topic maybe a good discussion point.

How can I receive notification when messages are posted?

karen@farrelldoc.com — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 13:44:35 GMT

Navigate to the message on which to receive notifications.
Click Receive email notifications in the Actions pane.

You can also watch an entire forum by clicking Receive email notifications in the Actions pane on the Discussions tab.

Messages that you post are watched by default. You can turn this feature on or off by clicking Your Stuff > Profile > Edit Preferences. Click Yes or No next to Always subscribe via email to threads I create.
