Questions on Portal branding

Dear Portal specialists,
Some questions on Portal branding :
1) Can I include a logo file on the top LHS where we see "WELCOME" user.
    We dont want to customise it.
2) Can we move the "WELCOME " user to the middle of the page.
Thanks.

Check these link.. and pick up one which suits you:
Simplest is to replace the existing branding images , you can achieve it by
1) Go to Administration -> System Configuration ->
UM Configuration -> Direct Editing.
2)Change the following entry to match your
image or change the brandingimage.jpg:
ume.logon.branding_image=/logon/layout/mybranding.jpg
3) The correct path where to save the file would be:
<Drive>:usrsap<SID>JC<Instance_Nr>j2eeclusterserver0appssap.comcom.sap.security.core.adminservlet_jsplogon

  • Deploy questions for portal 7

    Hi, BEA portal gurus,
    I have several questions about Portal web application deployment.
    1. If I try to manually deploy a new portal web application(not using the
    wizard hot deployment), it seems that I have to take the following steps to
    make it work. First in the console, I need to modify the application
    descriptor and add a new web module. Second, I need to undeploy the whole
    enterprise application and redeploly the whole application. Is there any
    other easier way to do it? The redeployment of the whole application takes a
    long time.
    2. In http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs70/webapp/deployment.html#139318, it
    explains a lot about web application deployment in weblogic server. In the
    secion "reploying a web application in exploded directory format", it says:
    ****You can redeploy a Web Application deployed in exploded directory format
    when using auto-deployment by modifying a special file called REDEPLOY, or
    you can use the Administration Console, or you can cause a partial redeploy
    by copying a new version of a class file over an old in the WEB-INF/classes
    directory.*****
    I am more confused than I was before I read this document. I think the first
    approach --- modify the REDEPLOY is not necessary, because when I modify a
    jsp or html in my portal web application, the server can pick it up right
    away. Of course, I change the jsp check interval setting. Besides, I never
    get the third appoach to work. Whenever I modify the classes and copy it to
    the WEB-INF/classes, the server can not do auto-redeployment for me. I have
    to restart the server, or redeploy the web application module in the console
    to make it work.
    Can anyone explain it to me? Thanks a lot in advance.
    Surge.

    Hi Kathleen,
    Please check message server settings on
    <u><i>visual admin tool:</i></u><b>server->kernel->cluster manager</b> and check <b>ms.host</b> and <b>ms.port</b> values from the table. At my first try, I thought the port number was 50000 since it was J2EE message port, after checking it in visual admin tool I realized that, it was the same port you use for local which was 3601.
    If this is still not working either then do it manually as follows:
    Copy your applicationName.ear file into your sever. The directory that you can find the .ear file is <b>C:\documents and settings\admin\documents\SAP\workspace\filename.ear</b>
    **Start your visual admin tool
    server->services->deploy
    on the right hand side you will see <b>server</b>->webdynpro
    ***On the right panel click on <b>deploy&start</b>
    I hope this will work for you,and please do not forget reward points if I could help you a little.

  • Removing Portal Branding image&Logos!

    Hi All
    I want to remove Portal branding image&Logos,b'z it takes lot of network space.

    Pradeep,
    there shouldn't be any problems. Alternatively, simply replace them with a transparent 1x1 pixel gif, so that so at least have a valid image.

  • Portal Branding - user specific.

    Hello All,
    I want to implement Portal Branding - user specific. So for every user I would like to have diffrent branding images on the same portal. I am working on a EP 7.0 Version (NW04s).
    Please do give me detailed procedure for the same.
    Thanking you in advance ...
    Regards,
    Premkishan Chourasia

    Hi Premkishan,
    First create the required Themes
    System Administration --> Portal Display --> Theme Editor
    Select any one of the already existing themes and save as your new theme.
    Second - Create a portal Desktop
    System Administration --> Portal Display --> Desktops and Display rules
    Expand the Portal content. Create your own folder.
    Then go to Portal content --> Portal users --> Standard portal users -->Default framework page. Copy this Default framework page and place in the folder you created.
    Right click on the created folder and create new desktop.
    Now Right click on the copied default framework page and Select Add Frameworkpage to Portal Desktop.
    Now go to the place where you created the Theme and right click the theme and select Add theme to portal Desktop.
    Now in the creation of the new portal desktop select the entries and select the button "Set Default" for both the options and then save
    Third -
    Go to Portal content --> Portal Administrators -->Super administrators -->Main rules.
    Right click and select edit object.
    Click "Add IF Expression". Another IF statement is added. Already existing IF statement is necessarry.
    Here you select If user = some user
    Click the "Then" Statement
    Now go to the Portal desktop you created and right click the portal desktop and select "Add portal desktop to expression".
    Now save the rule collection.
    You are done for one user.
    For other users you follow the same procedure.
    Now close the browser and open again. After some time you will see the new portal branding for the specified user.
    Hope this helps.

  • Portal Branding question

    Hello Portal Gurus -
        I am trying to customize my logon page of the Portal to a custom one, which has all the images of the company, instead of the SAP Netweaver logos, which comes out of the box with SAP Netweaver 04s SR2 installation.
    I referred to the weblog A fast and easy Portal logon page customizing to perform the necessary changes to replace the old SAP NW logos to  a custom one. After I replaced the images, I stll see old image, even after the restart of the server. I also tried to replace the images, after stopping the server, then replacing the imges with new ones and then proceeded to restart the server.
    What else is missing here?
    Am I missing anything on this or is there any additional step that is to be done?
    Thanks,
    LB

    Hi Leena,
    Did you clear you local cache?!
    If yes, right-click on one of the images in question and post the URL here.
    Hope it helps

  • Question about Portal and BI Beans

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a Portlet that displays Thin BI Beans crosstab. Using the "URL-Based Portlet (inline rendering)", I could display the Thin BI Beans crosstab inside the Portal. But, when I try to drill down or change the page edge, it ends up with "No Page Found" error. My question is...
    1) Is it possible to embed a Thin BI Beans crosstab inside the Portal and manipulate it dynamically?
    2) If it is possible, how can I do that?
    I will attach my provider.xml and JSP file that creates the crosstab. Please let me know if you need more information. Thank you very much.

  • Questions regarding Portal Installation

    Hi Experts,
    I want to install portal and I have following questions;
    1- We are on ECC 6.0 & I want to install portal. Can I install it on separate machine? What are the recommendations, how it should be installed. I mean on ECC app server or on different machine?
    2- I want to install the original corporate version not sneak preview which expires after 90 days. Having said that, Do we need to purchase separate portal installation CD's or it comes with standard ECC 6.0.
    3- Having ECC 6.0, what else we need to install for getting the portal in running shape like java stack etc..?
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    >
    It depends upon how much resources machine have. If you have sufficient resources then you can install on same machine. But I would prefer to install Portal on separate machine as Java is resource intensive.
    > 2- I want to install the original corporate version not sneak preview which expires after 90 days. Having said that, Do we >need to purchase separate portal installation CD's or it comes with standard ECC 6.0.
    >
    For Portal you need to have separate license with SAP unless and until you are not installing ECC 6.0 dual stack system. Also, from Business Suite 7, you cannot install dual stack system.
    > 3- Having ECC 6.0, what else we need to install for getting the portal in running shape like java stack etc..?
    >
    If you are installing portal then Java stack will come in it. I would suggest you to read installation guide.

  • In portal branding change the font colour of the popup dialog box

    hi all,
    I created  a theme of mine and changed the portal body colour to a dark shade. The porblem i am facing is..whn i click on the "Logout" button of the portal,it displays a popupbox saying "Are you sure you want to logg off?"...i want to change the font color to white as it is black in clour and not reaadable in the dark background colour.......can somebody help me in this ..
    Awaiting for your response..

    Hi.
    First solution is customizing logoffConfirmMsg.jsp (com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par) for your personal needs, but some coding is required.
    Second solution:
    1. adjust the color property of class .ctrlTxtStd in ctr_ie6.css and/or ctrl_nn7.css files from your theme:
    .ctrlTxtStd {
                color:#ffffff;
                font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
                font-size:0.7em;
                font-style:normal;
                font-weight:normal;
    2. If you edit css files directly on portal's file system, the restart of portal will be required.
    3.After portal or your theme updates repeat steps 1 and 2.

  • A Few Questions about Portal Server6.2 on Windows XP

    Using jstudio_ent_04Q4, I installed the following components on Windows XP Pro:
    * AppServer7
    * DirectoryServer5.2
    * IS6.1
    * PortalServer6.2
    We created a portal app by the following steps:
    * deploy our portlets wars (use IS/bin/pdeploy.bat)
    * copy the sample portal, rename it, and modify
    the display profile
    * re-deploy the portal (use IS/bin/deploy.bat
    redeploy)
    The steps work fine for the Solaris installation, and seem to be fine on the Windows installation - no errors. However, when we try to run it, it failed because the App Server can't find the servlets generated from the jsps. It appears that the servlets are not generated in the first place.
    The sample portal works. But I can't find the web app associated with it in the App Server Console. On a Solaris installation, you can see "portal" and "portletsamples" under the Web Apps in the App Server Console.
    1. Does anyone know where can I find the installed web apps on a Windows installation?
    2. Has anyone tried to install portals on PS6.2 on Windows?
    I noticed that MosesJones mentioned Windows pdeploy may have a bug.
    Thanks for any help on these issues,
    Lee

    The pdeploy bug on PortalServer+AppServer+Windows is verified by a very helpful Sun contact in Sydney, Australia. The workaround is to copy your portlet WAR file to the C:\Sun\PortalServer\tmp\portlet directory, and run the pdeploy command from that directory, e.g.
    C:\Sun\PortalServer\tmp\portlet> C:\Sun\PortalServer\bin\pdeploy deploy -u "uid=amadmin,ou=people,dc=synergy,dc=com,dc=au" -w admin123 -p admin123 -g helloworld-portlet.warAlso, to redeploy, it is important that you copy your original WAR file to the tmp\portlet directory as deployment makes changes to your original WAR file. For example, it adds the portletappengine.jar file to your WAR file and registers listeners in your web.xml. An attempt to deploy the existing (from prior deployment) WAR file in that directory will result in a "IllegateStateException" when you view your portlet.
    In addition to the above, I was also having problems getting the Portlet deployed/registered correctly. After some investigation, it is found that the root cause of the exception is a ClassNotFoundException, wrapped by the observed UnavailableException (in the portlet log file). The portlet class is found to be instantiated via the default Class.forName(...) method, which uses the class loader of the caller. Debugging shows this to be an AppClassLoader rather than a WebAppClassLoader, and as such not able to find the portlet classes. The correct way of doing this is to use the 3-argument Class.forName(...) method and pass in the current context loader. Long story short, you will need to patch the com.sun.portal.portletappengine.impl.LifecycleManagerImpl class (portletappengine.jar) and replace the existing "Class.forName(...)" call in the "createPortlet(...)" method with "Class.forName(portletClassName, true, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader())".
    I hope Sun support engineers pick this up for their next release.
    Thanks,
    jeff

  • Simple question about Portal Workflow

    Hi.
    Is possible use Portal Workflow in order to use the UWL to inform a task for KM document for Approval process, without a backend connection with a SAP business workflow ??
    thanks in advance.

    thanks Deepa. I solved it.
    the problem was that the iview for "my task" I am using, is different the "my task" iview in eu_role role, and the approval workflow tasks not appear in my iview, and I confuse about de workflow without backend for this cause.

  • Portal Branding problem - line below iView tray

    Hello,
    I am using the Portal theme editor to create a custom portal theme. So far, I have been able to change the colors of every thing except one: "The line that runs below all the iview trays"
    For example, you can see this line in User Administration --> Identity Management -- On the right hand side - at the bottom of the Search iview.
    This thick line is a blue color line (in the SAP Tradeshow theme) - for which I have not found any option to change within the theme editor.
    We can hide this thick blue line from the iview properties - But I would like to change the color of this line rather than hiding it.
    I am using EP 7.0 EHP 1.
    Can some one please help me with this ?
    Thanks,
    Jaya

    Hi OJ,
    Thanks a lot for your response.
    Unfortunately, I do not have that option in the Theme Editor (for my version of portal which is EP 7.01 SP05). Infact I don't see the section for "Tray Footer".
    What version of portal are you using ?
    I have checked if there are any SAP Notes regarding this but none.
    Please suggest.
    Thank You,
