SAP splash screen gifs?

Anyone have a collection of SAP splash screen gifs?
Id like to play around and customize my sandbox system using different splash screens.
Most gifs I have do not have the appropriate mime type associated with it.
Is the procedure still the same in NW04s?
Add via smw0 and use new pic via sm30 manipulation of SSM_CUST?
Thanks!!

Hi Fidel
I know this will not be so much help. But try to find the standard file at your frontend SAP GUI directory and put the new one in place of it after taking its backup.

2. Select documnet class ' general text'
3. Enter name : 'ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO
4. add the information to be displayed.

Sap splash screen

hi,
in sap initial logon screen next to logon id & password
i want to display different client detail as text
like 100 -develo/200 sanbox /900 prod etc
Pl tel me the steps how this can be done

If you want to enter text to the screen after logging in we can only keep JPEG and GIF files. Enter the text you want in a paint and save it as JPEG or GIF file and follow the below steps.
Go to T-codeSMW0
select X - Binary data for WebRFC application
Hit Enter
Click Execute
Click Settings -> Maintain MIME types
Click the Create button
Fill in :- TYPE : image/gif       EXTENSION : .GIF
Click Save
Click Back to the Binary data for WebRFC
Click Create
Fill in :- Obj. name : ZXXXX.GIF Description : Company Logo
Click Import and specify the filename where your GIF file is located.File type is BIN. Finish press the Transfer button.
If successful, your logo will be shown in the Binary data for WebRFC.
Transaction codeSM30 - Table/View - SSM_CUST
Click Maintain
Click New Entries
Name                     Value to be set
START_IMAGE      ZXXXX.GIF
RESIZE_IMAGE     NO
once just log off and login again.
Thanks,

AMT hangs at splash screen

Hi CRM Mobile Experts,
I have a workstation installed with MSA and MSV. The same workstation also serves as the development workstation where the Mobile Application Studio and AMT is installed. The problem that i am having now is the access to AMT.
The very first time when i installed AMT without MAS, i was able to access the AMT with my userID and password and i also can see all the predefined roles.
Then, i uninstall AMT and proceed to install MAS with the AMT again and then point to the Mobile Repository Server accordingly. Now that after the installation of MAS (Mobile Application Studio), i am unable to load the AMT. When i clicked on the shortcut of the AMT application, it just hangs on the SAP splash screen.
I have the following configuration in my registry:
security --> AMTARS
dns: ars_db
Owner: dbo
user: arsadmin
password: <blank>
Did i missed anything in my setup? Please advice why i am unable to load the AMT. I have also applied SAP Note 65916 and 657434.
Please help!

I'm still wondering why it's not loading the AMT!

ADD Splash Screen to the SAP B1 DE Simple Installer.

can i add a Splash Screen to the SAP B1 DE Simple Installer ?
if yes how to do it.
when i deploy my addons i want the installer to accept an installation serial & install the addons only if the serial key entered in valid.
has someone done this thing before or can someone help me in doing this.
thanks in advance
Ketan Joshi

Hi Ketan,
You can add as many screens as you like in the simple installer. You only need to open the generated project and add you screen as the other steps already there. To desing your screen you only have to manage with .NET windows design.

How to display several several gif as splash screen continuously?

like title said, I want to display several gif files as splash screen so that it looks like animation, how to do that? the splash.java that I uses can only display one picture. what I would like to see is something that display several pictures in the same location on screen, one disappear after another show up without gap in between so that the user won't realize that it's several picture together.
just ignore the PV, I use splash to start my main.

Splash screen ABAP (Was 6.20) SAPGui 6.20

I love splash screens. A small pop-up window with a picture should come for say 5 to 10 seconds and disappear by a timer task.
Giving such timer splash screens at START or END makes the application attractive. I do it in VB PB & Java.

Message on SAP login screen

Hi all,
How to add a system message on the SAP logon screen.
I just want to put display some content and links on screen where we enter client and username and password.
regards,
helpful answers are surely rewarded.

Hi,
Personalization of your SAP system logon screen, splash screen etc
1) Adding text to the SAP logon screen. This is very handy for identifying which SAP system the user is about to log onto, especially non production boxes. You can also warn them here of pending changes, updates or outages. Because it is up while they are typing in their userid and password, they can't claim they missed the system message. SAP icons like the stop sign and warning signs can also be displayed. Details can be found in OSS note #205487. Here are the guts:
Go to Transaction SE61 and select the document 'General text' (selection via F4 help), and create a text with the name ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO in the language defined with profile parameter zcsa/system_language.
If the text does not exist in the system language, no output is made.
Note that there is space for 16 lines with 45 fixed-font characters each or for approximately 60 proportional space font characters on the logon screen.
Title lines (can be recognized by means of format keys starting with a 'U') are highlighted in the display.
You may also output icons at the beginning of lines by using an icon code (for example, @1D@ for the STOP icon). You can get a list of icon codes from Report RSTXICON. Pay attention to the codes with two '@' symbols displayed by the report. You cannot include text symbols. The 'include indicator' cannot be used for this function. SUBHINT here. These can be used on system messages as well.
Creating/changing this text requires a changeable system. Therefore, for production systems, SAP recommends maintaining the text in the upstream system and then transporting it. To do this, select a transportable (customer) development class when you create the text and save the active version prior to the export. The transport is done via the transport object R3TR DOCT ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO The text can be changed in the original system only (see TADIR entry R3TR DOCT ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO). When making a change in a non-original system, a modified text would be generated which cannot be represented sensefully on the initial screen.
2) Changing the splash screen on the main menu can add some pizzazz to the otherwise boring screen. It can also be changed easily on a regular basis. For production systems a company logo and/or company mission statement might be appropriate. Here are the instructions:
First, in transaction SMW0 (SAP Web Repository), select "Binary data for WebRFC applications. The logo must be in a .gif format. From this transaction, create a new object, then choose to IMPORT. You must then specify the path to the .gif object you have saved, and select the option to TRANSFER.
Then, maintain table SSM_CUST via SM30. Change the field START_IMAGE to the name of the object you created in SMW0.
3) Changing the rippling water on the top right on all is easy but tedious and requires no change to the SAP system. The file name is 'sapalogo.bmp' and resided in the directory "SAPpcsapguithemesdefault". Looking at this file you can see how it works. Use an editor like Paint and replace each of the SAP ripple images with a morphing image of your own. Make sure the new image is the same size as the original. There are 33 images in the original but you don't need that many. One idea for a morphing image would be to take your company logo and have it build its way across the screen and then off again.
4) Changing the startup movie is even easier. Replace the file 'sapss.avi' with a short avi of your own. This file resides in the same directory as 'sapalogo.bmp
Pls reward points,
Regards,
Ameet

Useful Code of the Day: Splash Screen & Busy Application

So you are making an Swing application. So what are two common things to do in it?
1) Display a splash screen.
2) Block user input when busy.
Enter AppFrame! It's a JFrame subclass which has a glass pane overlay option to block input (setBusy()). While "busy", it displays the system wait cursor.
It also supports display of a splash screen. There's a default splash screen if you don't provide a component to be the splash screen, and an initializer runner which takes a Runnable object. The Runnable object can then modify the splash screen component, for example to update a progress bar or text. See the main method for example usage.
It also has a method to center a component on another component (useful for dialogs) or center the component on the screen.
NOTE on setBusy: I do recall issues with the setBusy option to block input. I recall it having a problem on some Unix systems, but I can't remember the details offhand (sorry).

Custom splash screen for app under JWS 1.2 from 1.4.1 beta?

Has anyone gotten a custom app's splash screen to come up instead of the damn Sun Java Web Start splash screen to come up when the app starts from a desktop icon or if you launch it from JWS?
I added it to my jnlp file as specified in the docs, but it just doesn't come up :-(
<description kind="tooltip">TransMedia 2</description>
<icon kind="default" href="transmedia.gif" />
<icon kind="selected" href="transmedia.gif" />

<icon kind="splash" href="transmediasplash.gif" />

Hello,
I read your postings here and I did what you proposed.
Nevertheless the splash screen doesn't show up.
I'm using Java 1.4.1, Web Start 1.2; the jnlp file
looks like that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp codebase="http://venus/example-client/" href="example.jnlp">

any idea why webstart doesn't use the custom "splashscreen.jpg"?
a properly splashXXXXX.jpg has been created in .javaws/cache/splashes, as well as an entry in splash.xml.
thanx for help,

Custom splash screen not appearing in the Dynamic created jnlp()

Hi,
I am not able to show my custom splash screen while starting the webstart application, instead getting the "sun webstart logo". I am dynamically generating the jnlp file using jsp (struts application). Application is working perfectly except custom splash screen. Below is my jsp which will generate the jnlp on fly. The test.gif file is in place.

If I look at both generated jnlps they are almost one and the same. Can any one throw some insight on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Satyasai

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your response.
1. I have launched it number of times but no luck.
2. I have written a jsp (using servlet + jsp no struts frame work) which will create jnlp on fly, which is showing my custom splash screen. If you refer in the initial post, it is not working with struts kind of framework. See the below jsp which shows custom splash screen. It worked without href.
3. All jnlps are well formed and perfectly working in my development environment. For security purposes I have not shown some of the texts and logos.

Creating a simple splash screen

Hi,
I'm trying to create a simple splash screen with maybe a button. When this is pressed, the next thing shown in the application window should be the cylinder with my picture of Arizona on it.
Can anyone help?
Also trying to place a new image onto the cylinder shape when the Open button is pressed in the FileChooser dialog box.
Could someone help with this problem, I'm not sure what else is required.
Thanks.

Yeah I thought JWindow should be used, but it's getting it into my project that is the real problem.

Java6 splash screen in java webstart

I can't get the java 6 splash screen working when running as a webstart application .
I don't mean the splash you get while downloading but the one that's been introduced in java 6 that's showing while your app is starting.
So far I tried adding it in the manifest file of the main jar, adding the classpath switch in the jnlp file , adding the classpath switch in the JAVAWS_VM_ARGS but none worked.
Is there any documentation on this ? Or how should it work ?
Bart

Here's a very simple version:
public class SplashScreen extends JWindow {
    public SplashScreen () {
      JLabel image = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(SplashScreen.class.getResource("icons/splash.gif")));
      this.getContentPane().add(image, null);
      this.pack();
      Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
      Dimension imageSize = image.getPreferredSize();
      this.setLocation(screenSize.width/2 - (imageSize.width/2),     screenSize.height/2 - (imageSize.height/2));
      this.setVisible(true);
}This assumes a sub-folder in the same folder as your SplashScreen class named icons, containing a file splash.gif.
You will need to dispose() of the SplashScreen object when you have finished with it.

How to disable Splash Screen?

Hi Experts,
Whenever I am logging into CRM's WEB UI it throws a splash screen saying CRM is starting or Processing. Is there any way out by which I can disable this splash screen? This screen lasts only for few seconds.
Thanks in advance!!
Cheers,
RJ

Hi RJ,
You can enhance the BSP Application CRM_UI_START. The part you need to change is on the page default.htm.
The code that shows the box is:
<%-- starting session --%>
<div id="crmUIHostDialog" class="crmUIHostDialog">
<thtmlb:box name="uif" >
<%=otr(CRM_BSP_UI_FRAME_APPL/SessionStart)%>
 <img src="ScreenLoadingAniSmall.gif"/>
</thtmlb:box>
</div>

How to display different Splash Screen depending on the Locale?

Hi,
I have a splash screen which is working fine.
I want to display different spalsh screen depending on the locale the user has.
Is this possible.
I can display different Title,Description and the text of the short-cut icon on desktop and startup Menu based on the locale by mentioning it in the JNLP and altering my browser settings. I am not able to use the icon and splash screen corresponding to the specified locale. How to do this?
EX:
<information>
<title> In english</title>
<description> In english</description>
<shortcut online="true">

<desktop/>
<menu submenu="My Project in English language"/>
</shortcut>
*<icon kind="shortcut" href="images/icon_english.gif"/>
<icon kind="splash" href="images/splash_english.jpg"/>*

</information>
<information locale="nl-NL">
<title> In Dutch</title>
<description>In Dutch</description>
<shortcut online="true">

<desktop/>
<menu submenu="My Project in Dutch language"/>
</shortcut>
*<icon kind="shortcut" href="images/icon_dutch.gif"/>
<icon kind="splash" href="images/splash_dutch.jpg"/>*
</information>
*Now here i am not getting the splash_dutch screen for the locale "nl-NL"(Dutch) and i am getting splash_english screen.
Can we acheive this?*
