Business package style sheet change

How does one go about pointing a business package iView to a different stylesheet. For example the Universal Worklist iView that comes with the
com.sapportals.pct.emp.universalworklist
business package points to sap_mango_polarwind style. We need to change that to a custom style sheet that we have created.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Sunil

Hi Oliver,
Thanks for the reply.
The style we wish to change for the moment is the KM favorites iView that comes within the business package com.sapportals.km.favorites. I tried to download the KM.par file in eclipse but was unsuccessful.
I know how to change the style throughout the portal. But the business package KM. favorites iView references the sap_mango_polarwind style only.
This reference is what we wish to change.
Many thanks.

Style sheet changing when applied to text within a table

Hi everyone,
I'm using ID CS2.
I've defined a paragraph style sheet with the regular weight of a certain typeface, however when I apply this style to text within a table, the typeface changes to the bold version of the font even though the regular version is specified in the style.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue with styles being applied to tables or is it a sign of a corrupt file or something? Is there a fix?
Thanks

Is there a character style applied to the table or text in the table. I had many issues with this over-riding my paragraph style.

Style sheet changes not appearing in RH10

Hello all,
Searching for an answer before I posted, I saw this question from a member named Pam about RH11 posted almost a year ago, but I don't see an answer. I'm hoping there is an answer!
After many years of working in RoboHelp and carrying on with inline styles, I'm now looking into changing over to style sheets. I've been tinkering with them in some test projects, and I'm having the same problem that Pam did. The process of creating and applying a style sheet is simple, as far as I can tell, yet I can't get the style sheet formatting to appear. It's in the HTML--I see the .css specified, and there are only heading tags and so on present instead of inline stuff--yet the fonts I've selected appear neither in the Styles and Formatting pod nor in the Design view of the topic. I searched Adobe for help and found this: ROBOHELP 10: Creating CSS for a Topic | Tech Comm Suite Highlights | Adobe TV. I did exactly the same steps, but my fonts and spacing do not change as they do in the video. They don't appear different, that is. When I go into the style sheet, my selections are in there; they're just not displayed on the screen. I compiled a chm file to see if by chance the changes might appear there, but no.
I tried this both with existing and new topics in a test copy of an existing project and with a brand new project created in RoboHelp that had none of my usual baggage. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Beth

When I opened your CSS it was written as below.
/*Created with Adobe RoboHelp 10.*/
@media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 99999px){
h1 {
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 18pt;
x-next-class: ;
x-next-type: p;
@media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 99999px){
p {
font-family: Arial;
That was because, as Amebr had picked up, you must have had Desktop setting in the media dropdown when you applied the style. The result is that if you are viewing in any less than 1024px, Arial will not be applied and you will get the browser default on the user's machine.
With media set to None, I defined h1 and p again using Rh's CSS editor and the following was appended.
h1 {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 22pt;
margin-top: 14pt;
margin-bottom: 14pt;
margin-left: 0pt;
margin-right: 0pt;
page-break-after: avoid;
font-family: Arial;
x-next-class: ;
x-next-type: p;
p {
margin-top: 14pt;
margin-bottom: 14pt;
margin-left: 0pt;
margin-right: 0pt;
font-family: Arial;
Go back to your real project and define your styles with media set to None. Take a copy of the exising CSS first for safety. Delete any styles with media rules applied.
Create the styles by right clicking and using CSS Editor. Clean up by right clicking and using HTML Editor (the css will open in Rh and you can work on it as if in a text editor.

ESS Business Package - How to change error message

Hi,
In ESSBusiness Package Leave Application screen, if we enter some character XXX for From and To date field and try to proceed further (preview button) It is showing a error message 'Enter the value in format 11/25/1987" that we want to change to 'Enter the value in format MM/DD/YYYY".
Please let us know from where this standard message is coming whenever we put some character values for any date control and how to change the same to customer specific message.

Thank you Poojith,
This is a standard message not only coming for Calender control in ESS application but also behaviour is same for custom webdynpro applications. So this message is not part of Leave Component message pool

Changing Business Package ( I award good points )

If for example I import a business package into portal and I try to assign roles defined in the portal to the roles in the business package what are the considerations.Also pls let me know if can I change any particular object in the standard business package e.g. changing Iview properties.
Is it recomended or I need to always make a Delta Link/copy of the object in question and do the changes.
Thanks.
Nirmal

Nirmal,
I don't think adding your roles to business package roles should cause you any problems provided you setup the Permissions on the content itself properly, e.g. setting your existing content up with Permissions allowing the business package roles to access them.
If you are going to change anything on the business package content then I would create a delta-linked copy in a new folder of the same name as the original, but inder your content folders, otherwise when u upgrade or patch the new business package content will probably overwrite your changes. In any case it wont be immediately apparent that you have made changes to the standard content or what those changes are if you edit the original content.
Cheers,
Steve

Is it possible to change the color of a layer of a Customs CSS from an External Style sheet?

Hi,
I have sucessfully link External .css file to my HTML page and able to change the font size of the headlines and the paragraph.
What I am not able to do is to ADD the color my Custom CSS from the External sheet. I have difined the color attribute as a 'Advance'
and gave it the same name "#bigwraper" that is has in my HTML file.
Attached is the color outline of my 'Blank Layout' with colors?
Thank you.

Hi Murray,
I am building a web site on which the entire content would be changed at least daily. The website would have similar design to www.Helium.com
The page will have CCS layout boxes in which different content would be pasted.
To re-phrase my question: I want to know how to change the color of a layer from an external style sheet?
Because my home page 'Sidebar' and colors would be the same for all page, only the content of different pages would be different. If I want to change a color of my web side pages, I need to learn how to do it in one spot through an External Style Sheet.
I am amble to link my external style sheet and to change H1 tag and to give it different colors. But I was not sucess with change the color of a layer on which my content sits around.
I took out the color from my HTML page and gave the same name to the layer in my External Style Sheet with the same color.
Hope my question and the reason I was able to clarify.
cheers,

Change iviews installed from a business package

Hi experts,
I'm working on EP 2004s and I would like to know if there is a way to change iviews installed in the portal from a business package using Visual Composer. Can I copy them into my own created package in VC?
Thanks
Panos

Hi,
Usually Business Package iviews - especially the older ones - aren't based on Visual composer models but rather older IView technology. Therefore, it should be impossible to change them in VC.
I've heard that SAP may be considering releasing business packages (XSS?) as VC models but never heard any confirmation regrading this. Probbaly based on the support-related questions. I once blogged on this <a href="/people/community.user/blog/2007/01/30/enterprise-soa-explorations-fragments.

ESS Business Packages Migration from Ehp3 to Ehp4 with Custom Changes

Hello All,
We are using ECC 6.0 With Ehp3 and We have the following versions of ESS and MSS Business Packages Installed.
SAP_ESS 603 SP4
SAP_MSS 600 SP15
We have NWDI server also installed in this and made some Customizations in ESS Webdynpro Java based applications.
We have freshly installed a new portal development server with Netweaver 7.0 Ehp1 to cleanup unneccessary stuffs in our existing development portal server and pointed to the upgraded backend ECC 6.0 Ehp4.
The NWDI also installed freshly in the new server.
While upgrading, following Business Packages versions are recommended by SAP.
SAP_ESS 603 SP6
MSS 600 SP17
PCUI_GP 603 Sp 06
Now in the New portal server every applications works fine as delivered Out of the box and we are missing all the Webdynpro Java customizations which we have made as part of the Ehp3 based ESS Implementation.
We are in the process of Creating the New track in the New NW 7.0 Ehp1 server and import the .SCA files.
My Question is how can we get the automatic migration process, so that the Webdynpro Java Customizations which we have done in the Previous track in Ehp3 with different ESS SP level can be carry forwarded to our New NWDI Server.
How can we go ahead?. We are thinking of the following options and your suggestions are highly appreciated.
1. Import the .SCA files related to Ehp4 and do the Webdynpro Java changes manually again in the DCs of Newly created track    in the New NWDI server.
2. Is there a way to migrate a Track from One Server to another NWDI server with the Custom changes carry forwarded.
What are all the possible ways to achieve track migration to the new server with custom changes carry forwarded.
Appreciate your valuable inputs in this.
Thanks and Regards,
Sekar

Hi Sekar,
There is a cook book provided by SAP as attachment of note 872892. you can follow the process to have your custom DC's migrated to new Support pack of ESS/MSS.

How to use own style sheet in user interface templates to change buttons, fields look

I want to use my own style sheet to change the appearance of buttons, form fields etc. while applying my own user interface template. I know I can create an unstructured UI template to change logos, body color etc. but how do I apply css to buttons, fields generated by the portal components form wizard ?
If this is not possible, how do I create my own form and get the same functionalities of a wizard generated form ?
Thanks.

Mrinal,
I have solved that problem fortunately.
What I did was to create my own unstructured user interface template. In the unstructured UI template, you can use style.
for example, in between the <head> tags, write <style> tages and create own classes for buttons, textboxes etc.
Then write a javascript to assign those classes to the buttons. Call the javascript function on OnLoad event in <BODY> tag.
That will do the job.
for example you have a style class called buttonclass for buttons.
<script langauge=javascript1.1>
function setstyle(form) {
for (var i=0; i<form.length; i++) {
if (form.elements.type == 'button') {
form.elements[i].className = "buttonclass";
</script>
<BODY onLoad = "setstyle(document.forms[0]);">
hope this helps.

Changing style sheets causes hang (ID CS2 Windows)

I have several 25-page (or so) files that are part of a book file. I'm trying to change the tabs in some of the style sheets but when I make the changes within the style sheet dialog window and close it, InDesign hangs. I've let it go for 15 minutes just in case it's working, but it shouldn't take anywhere near that long. It also hangs if I try to delete a character style from the palette. Actually, any style change I've tried to make causes the same hang.
Any suggestions? I know it's not RAM because it works in other files (I have 4GB).
Thanks...

Might be a font problem. Anything different about these files?
Try exporting to .inx and resaving the result as a new .indd. Replace the original in the book with the new one and see if that helps, too.

Change ESS Business Package

Hi
I want to change the ESS 6.0 business package in NWDS. We do not hve the NWDI. We have portal 7.0. How can I modify the SCA file in NWDS, if it is possible.
Regards

Prince,
Without NWDI you cannot modify the Webdynpro Java code for ESS.....you can rather go for some Personalization changes....on portal.....or do some config. in R/3 ....depends on your requirements....

Impact on changing ECC client on the working of ESS business package in EP

Dear Experts,
We had ESS business package working fine in our EP 7.0 which connected to client 100 of ECC 6.0.
Now we changed to client 700 in ECC 6.0.
Now all is working OK except for the Personal Data piece (address,bank etc).
The first screen shows up OK but when we review it we get the error :
Access via NULL object reference not possible.,error Key:RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE
The user is setup the same way as that in ECC 100.
The JCO is working correctly.Get successful message when we click "TEST".
I have used USER/PWD in both meta data and application data (though it is said to use Ticket and User/Pwd. It worked with ECC Client 100.)
Appreciate any inputs
Thanks.

hi ashish,

Changing in standard Business Package

Hi
I need to change the web dynpro component supplied in stanadard business package. These web dynpro component are called from portal Iviews.
Should i make the Z copy of the webdynpro or starightway change to standard business package.
How will it effect during upgrade or modification by SAP
Best Regards
Naresh

Hi Naresh,
when you create a z copy you must change the business package at least at the point where the WD application is called. So there are two points where SAP modifications will impact your changes.
My suggestion: if you can't avoid using the portal at all, avoid at least making modifications.
In the backend use the enhancement framework in order to be independent of SAP modifications. I put an example in the WD4A book, that shows how to work with the enhancement framework.
regards, Ulli

Style sheet of the SAP standard ESS package.

Hi,
Our client installed the standard ESS package and after adding a theme to portal the dropdowns , calendar widgets doesn't take the style sheet correctly and therefore the dropdowns , calendar widgets and other display attributes doesn't appear properly.
It would be great if any one provide the solution why this is occuring.
Thanks
Ritushree Saha

Hi Ritushree,
we experienced the same thing a couple of month ago. Some of the ESS/MSS GUI elements were not properly rendered after we applied a new SP (SAP NW 7.0 SPS 9 or SPS 11). As far as I remember SAP promised to fix the probleme in the next SPs.
As a workaround we configured the affected ESS/MSS iViews in a way that they did not use the Portal Theme. As a result the iViews had a slightly different design but the GUI elements were working again.
Best regards,
Martin

Changing colors/style sheets with custom header portlets?

We would like write a completely custom header portlet (a standard portlet that is designated as a header, notusing the branding server), but I can't seem to find a way to change the style sheets in subportals when I do this.
Am I missing something? Do you have to use the branding engine to control style sheets in subportals, or is there another way?
Chris StoffelPortal DeveloperHalliburton KBR

------- developersupport wrote on 12/11/03 4:24 PM -------
The way Branding accomplishes what you're looking for is by setting a portlet setting called "Portal-Style" on the header portlet using the EDK. This setting can be set either as an Admin level or CommunityPortlet level setting. When the portal loads a page with a header, it will check to see if the header has this preference set (first on the CommunityPortlet level, if the header is on a community, and then on the Admin level). If so, the portal will cause everything to use the stylesheet specified in the setting value.
The setting value is the name of the stylesheet. For example, if you wished every page displaying the header to be orange, you could set the "Portal-Style" Admin setting on the portlet to a value of "mainstyle17", the orange-themed stylesheet.
Perhaps I'm not setting the preference properly. Sniffing the HTTP headers between the gadget and portal servers, I do see:
[HTTP_CSP_GLOBAL_GADGET_PREF] => Portal-Style=mainstyle17
(I also tried it with Portal%u002DStyle, but neither works)
The remote server header portlet doesn't seem to be picking up the fact that there is an admin pref to override the main page's stylesheet. Did I create the portlet wrong, or am I setting the preference incorrectly, or what? Thanks
