How to change the look of the ESS Overview page

Hi,
We are implementing ESS/MSS and would like to change the look (font size and color, background color, ...) of only the Overview page (Area Group Page). From what I understand when a theme (css) is used it is applied to an entire Portal Desktop, not to a single page. And since the Overview page is a Web Dynpro application (part of the Floor Plan Manager), it doesn't seem possible to change the look besides using themes.
Of course we would like to keep the possibility to configure this page using IMG so rebuilding it from scratch is not really an option.
Any idea how this could be done?
Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Srikanth,
As far as I know it is not possible to change the font size or color of the overview page using IMG.
But I found a way of applying a theme to a single Web Dynpro application running inside the portal, like the Overview page. You need to specify the theme in the iView property editor using the Application parameter sap-cssurl. The feature is there and more or less documented, the only problem I am still not able to make it work, the portal theme is always used. It is also possible to change the theme of <i>all</i> the Web Dynpro applications running on the server (by changing WD a property in the J2EE Visual Admin, see this <a href="https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=367022">post</a> for example) but this is not what I want to do.
Regards,
Martin

How do I change the look of the cropping tool

How do I change the look of the cropping tool

What do you mean, "change the look"? Please be specific.
What do you want the crop tool to "look" like?
Yes, the crop tool is different than it used to be. But it works just as well as it always did. Instead of moving the crop over the timage, now move the image. Use the edge handles to adjust the crop size. Alternatively, set the crop tool to work in various ways by adjusting it in the control bar. (Size and Proportions, Rotate Crop, Straighten Image, Crop Options, etc.)
Alternatively, you can set the Crop Tool to have "classic" behavior, also via the control bar.

How to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line or with a script. I want to enable "Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"
I can't seem to find any documentation on how to change settings in the Java Control Panel via the command line
Edited by: 897133 on Nov 14, 2011 7:15 AM

OK figured it out. This is for the next person seeking the same solution.
When you click on the Java Control Panel (found in the Control panel) in any version of Windows, it first looks for a System Wide Java Configuration (found here: C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment). At this point you must be wondering why you don't have this folder (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) or why its empty. Well, for an enterprise environment, you have to create it and place something in it - it doesn't exist by default. So you'll need a script (I used Autoit) to create the directory structure and place the the two files into it. The two files are "deployment.properties" and "deployment.config".
Example: When you click on the Java Control Panel it first checks to see if this directory exists (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) and then checks if there is a "deployment.config". If there is one it opens it and reads it. If it doesn't exist, Java creates user settings found here C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7.
__deployment.config__
It should look like this inside:
*#deployment.config*
*#Mon Nov 14 13:06:38 AST 2011*
*# The First line below specifies if this config is mandatory which is simple enough*
*# The second line just tells Java where to the properties of your Java Configuration*
*# NOTE: These java settings will be applied to each user file and will overwrite existing ones*
deployment.system.config.mandatory=True
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
If you look in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7 for example you will find "deployment.properties". You can use this as your default example and add your settings to it.
How?
Easy. If you want to add *"Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"*
Add this line:
deployment.security.SSLv2Hello=true
Maybe you want to disable Java update (which is a big problem for enterprises)
Add these lines:
deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
Below is a basic AutoIt script you could use (It compiles the files into the executable. When you compile the script the two Java files must be in the directory you specify in the FileInstall line, which can be anything you choose. It will also create your directory structure):
#NoTrayIcon
#RequireAdmin
#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
Func _JavaConfig()
     $ConfigFile_1 = @TempDir & "\deployment.properties"
     $ConfigFile_2 = @TempDir & "\deployment.config"
     FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.properties", $ConfigFile_1)
FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.config", $ConfigFile_2)
     FileCopy($ConfigFile_1, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
     FileCopy($ConfigFile_2, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
     Sleep(10000)
     FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.properties")
     FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.config")
EndFunc
_JavaConfig()
Now if you have SCUP and have setup Self Cert for your organization, you just need to create a SCUP update for JRE.

I subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music

i subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music - i think it keeps trying to find on the external harddrive where i used to keep my music

Of course iTunes is looking for the music on the external HDD. Enabling iTunes Match does not magically change the location of the iTunes library to the cloud.
To play the music either plug the external HDD back into your computer or create a new, empty library to use for streaming the iTM content. The latter can be accomplished by holding down the Option key when launching iTunes, choosing "create library" then enabling iTunes Match on the new library. DO NOT have iTunes scan your HDD for music.

Why did the look of the toolbar change from Photoshop CS3 to CS4?

One of the nice visual features for Mac from Photoshop 7 to Photoshop CS3 was the "shiny" look of the toolbar that acquired the Aqua interface. Now in CS4, the toolbar looks more like the Windows version (more bland). I know that "how the program looks" does not change the way Photoshop is used, I just thought I'd ask in the forums why they would change the look of the toolbar for Mac that they've had for 7 years.

Good point. I will be switching to Mac in the very near future, and one of the things I was looking forward to was the Aqua interface. Its appearance is so much better than the Windows GUI. I currently have an HP Pavilion Media Center TV PC desktop from late 2006 with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6300, with only 2GB of RAM and a 320 hard drive. The graphics card is part of the motherboard. I am not looking to upgrade to better specs after seeing what's out now. Today, that would be considered low specs even for a low-priced laptop. I payed $1400 for it, and I feel I got screwed. So many cables, an outdated keyboard and mouse, and a cheap-looking monitor made me want to jump to the Mac starting in early 2008. Thankfully, I waited and a new iMac that's twice as good came out! I am currently planning to buy the $1699 27-inch iMac as soon as I figure out where I'm putting it and how I'm going to reconfigure everything (I also have a tablet, and it's going in another room so I have to get a desk that has the right setup as well).
Also, I have a tablet installed on my current computer. What will I need to do to move it to the Mac? Will I need to uninstall it from my current computer, or just leave it alone and install it on the Mac?
One more thing:
A guy at the Apple Store said I could run Photoshop from Windows on a Mac. I'm assuming I would have to load the entire Windows OS, right?
Thanks.

As an update, I installed an update 5.7on my Mac laptop, now the Lightroom 5.0 has become a "Lightroom Mobile" version. How can change it back to the laptop version?

As an update, I installed an update 5.7on my Mac laptop, now the Lightroom 5.0 has become a "Lightroom Mobile" version. How can change it back to the laptop version 5.7?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

LR on your laptop is still a desktop version. It is just now able to upload to the cloud to replicate photos to either http://lightroom.adobe.com/ or an iPad that has LR Mobile installed.
I think you probably just want to change the LR 5 identity plate back so it doesn’t mention LR Mobile all the time. Hover over the identity-plate area, and click on the little triangle that appears, then choose Change Identity Plate.

Wow, one interface change in iCal and you Mac world falls apart? I have not even noticed the change to it over the other great features included in Lion. Not a hiccup, increased stability and speed on all my Macs, Loving Mission Control, iCloud is a great selling point and Mountain Lion, due out later in the year will yet again change the face of Computing forever. Windows is following along the same path, struggling to keep up (yes I run Windows as well - trecherous isn't it!), but yet we are all doomed because a handful of people don't like the leather bound look of Address Book which will probably change again in ML if a hack isn't written in the meantime. Petty arguement here. Just give feedback to Apple, I am sure it is on the top of their agenda.

How to change a connection with the database in Runtime?

How to change a connection with the database in Runtime?
My connection was made using ADF Business component (ApplicationModule).
ADF Swing.
JDeveloper Studio 11.1.1.4.0.

When deploying ADF applications with database connection, you should be using JDBC data sources configured in the weblogic server.
You could change the JDBC data sources to a different DB instance or location - by changing the JDBC data source and restarting the weblogic server.

Customize the look of the interface?

Is there anyway to customize the look of the interface in FCP?
In other words- change the color of the timeline background, video tracks, audio tracks, etc.
I recall Avid gave me that option and it seems like it would be something Apple would allow- but I can not find any way to do it.

Only by hacking the locked .nib files inside the application bundle.
One false move and you are looking at a full reinstall. Not really worth it in my opinion.

Error in 'Customize the look of the UWL main page'

Hello,
We need to hide a column of UWL. For that we try:
In System admin/UWL Administration/Configure item types and customize views using a wizard:
'Customize the look of the UWL main page' option. In Tasks tab, 'Customize the View' button we get the following error: java.lang.ClassCastException. Exception ocurred during procesing of Web Dynpro application sap.com/tckmcbc.uwl.ui~wd_admin/UWLControlCenterConfiguration.
Please, we need to show this page, can you help me???
Thanks&Regards

Hello BNantes,
What is the version of the UWLJWF component that you are using, including patch level? Do you have to do this for all user id's or can you personlize the display only per person? If you can just personalize the UWL per person you can do this from the personalize option from the context menu. Once you invoke the personalize option, select the column that you want to hide via the dropdown menu, remove from current view and click save.
If you need to do this portal wide, you can do it through the wizard or update the xml file yourself.
To update the xml file:
Example for the default view
<View name="DefaultView" selectionMode="SINGLESELECT" width="98%" supportedItemTypes="uwl.task" columnOrder="subject, isEscalated, creatorId, createdDate, priority, attachmentCount, dueDate, status" sortby="priority:descend, dueDate:ascend, createdDate:descend" tableDesign="STANDARD" visibleRowCount="10" headerVisible="no" queryRange="undefined" tableNavigationFooterVisible="yes" tableNavigationType="CUSTOMNAV" actionRef="" refresh="300" dueDateSevere="86400000" dueDateWarning="259200000" emphasizedItems="new" displayOnlyDefinedAttributes="yes" dynamicCreationAllowed="yes" actionPosition="bottom" referenceBundle="tasks">
Above in this code you will see the following for the DefaultView:
columnOrder="subject, isEscalated, creatorId, createdDate, priority, attachmentCount, dueDate, status"
Here you can remove the columns that you do not want all users to see. Rename the xml file (but keep the uwl.standard on the system) and upload your new xml file with high priority. I just tested this on our internal test portal and it worked fine.
Have a good day!
Best Regards,
Beth

Reports overview page for BI Portal looks like ESS overview page

Hi Experts,
i am implimenting FPN environment with BI portal,I have lot of BI reports roles in my system,now i have a requirement to develop an overview page having all BI reports,it looks like a ESS overveiw page.How can I create this page,can any body please suggest me?
Thanks ,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
As you wrote "i selected different pic from standard list,but it is displaying one standard pic only."
I hope you want to change the picture of Headings only ie your workset in above mentioned case right ??
To change the picture go the role->then select added workset -> then open properties of worset ->now look for the
Pictogram properties of workset here from drop down select your desired pic and save the changes.
Now open portal the look for the changes ie new logo for the heading.
If new picture is not coming the try to clear the portal caches and check again .... other way to get the changes remove the
assigned role from user and change the role id and assign to user again now you will get new changes
without clearing the cache.
how to add custom pic?
To add custom pic you need to add the new pictures in the par file called com.sap.portal.navigation.mimeservice.par
So download the this par file from ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp this location from Portal support , even you can copy from server too.
Now import the par file in NWDS and copy your new pic in images directory ..now build the par file again and
upload it on portal. But here new images will only appear in drop down list when you portal is restarted.
I hope you know how to import par in NWDS don't forget to add required jar file in both the lib folders.
There can be other way also to change the picture where portal restart is not needed . So if you don't want to change in this way then search for other method and let me know also.

ESS Overview page

Hi all,
Please can you help?
We have to create an new Area Page on the ESS Overview page in the portal for the Universal Worklist.
I have created a Workset containing the Universal Worklist iView in the portal and have added the Workset to the ESS role directly.
I have provided the link of UWL Workset to the HR consultant to add to link to the new Area Page in SPRO.
When we try to access the Universal link directly from the Overview page it takes to a new window that looks exactly like the u201Cmainu201D ESS Overview page but it only contains the UWL area page with an icon. Instead of opening up the page to see the UWL.
In other words it does the following ESS > Overview page > UWL Overview page. instead of ESS > Overview page > UWL iview
Many thanks
Jo-lize Dekker

Hi,
The behaviour you are facing is standard as the HR consultant has created Area page, Sub Area page etc. Ask the HR consultant to select the option "Quick Link" for the UWL resource she has created. This will present a direct link to the UWL iview in the Home page.
But the UWL overview page link will also be there and I don't think u can avaoid it.
Cheers
Deb

Steps:
1. go to Content Administration > Portal Content
2. Akses the folder Portal Content > Content Provided by SAP > End User Content > Employee Self Service > Roles > double click Employee Self Service ( i'm assuming you are using standard ess role, if not the navigate to your custom ESS role)
3. New window show on the right pane
4. Double Click Purchasing, property editor is now updated showing property editor - purchasing
