RMS publishes messages about banners and channels to the RIB. A banner provides a means of grouping channels, thereby allowing the customer to link all brick and mortar stores, catalogs, and Web stores. The BANNER table holds a banner identifier and name. The CHANNELS table shows all channels and any associated banner identifiers. In order to take advantage of banners and channels, the customer must run RMS in a multi-channel environment. The following diagram illustrates the banner message process.
The following table lists the message types published.
