Want to add one more link in the first screen when user gets into EBP

Question

Hi All,
I want to add one more link to the template <b>WELCOME</b> in Internet Service <b>BBPGLOBAL</b>. This is the first screen that the user gets when he logs into EBP.
The issue is the same screen is different in DEV and TEST environment.
I verified the code in the template in both systems but they are exactly the same.
Also, checked the Parameters in the Templates and they too match.
While going through the code, I found out that MENU_NODE_TAB is used in a repeat loop to verify user has access to the further links.
But the surprising thing is the code is same in both the systems, but Test evnironment is reflecting the link I want to add in DEV environment.
Am I missing something??
Pls let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In welcome.html there is a ITS code to initialize array with information about transaction (line 87).
This code is in the loop:
repeat with idx from 1 to MENU_NODE_TAB-TEXT.dim;
  if( (MENU_NODE_TAB-S_IDENT[idx] == "BBPSC01" && A_GEN_URL<i> == "") ||
      (MENU_NODE_TAB-S_IDENT[idx] == "BBPSC03" && A_GEN_URL<i> == "") || 
      (MENU_NODE_TAB-S_IDENT[idx] == "BBPSC02")                       );
    A_S_IDENT<i>      = MENU_NODE_TAB-S_IDENT[idx];
    A_GEN_URL<i>      = MENU_NODE_TAB-GEN_URL[idx];
    A_OBJECT_ID<i>    = "parent.launchpad.menu.M" & MENU_NODE_TAB-OBJECT_ID[idx] & ".root.name + parent.launchpad.menu.M" & MENU_NODE_TAB-OBJECT_ID[idx] & ".path";
    A_TEXT<i>         = quotFilter(MENU_NODE_TAB-TEXT[idx]);
    A_INTRODUCTION<i> = #WELCOME_SENTENCE6;
    found = 1;
  end;
end;
If You want to add this 4 links on begining - extend this array (in line 87):
<!-- initialize array with information about transaction on startpage -->
A_S_IDENT[1] = "custom_link1"; A_GEN_URL[1] = "www.google.com"; A_OBJECT_ID[1] = ""; A_TEXT[1] = "google"; A_INTRODUCTION[1] = "google link";
A_S_IDENT[2] = "custom_link2"; A_GEN_URL[2] = "www.rediffmail.com"; A_OBJECT_ID[2] = ""; A_TEXT[2] = "rediffmail"; A_INTRODUCTION[2] = "redi link";
A_S_IDENT[3] = "custom_link3"; A_GEN_URL[3] = "www.yahoo.com"; A_OBJECT_ID[3] = ""; A_TEXT[3] = "yahoo"; A_INTRODUCTION[3] = "yahoo link";
A_S_IDENT[4] = "custom_link4"; A_GEN_URL[4] = "www.greetings.com"; A_OBJECT_ID[4] = ""; A_TEXT[4] = "greets"; A_INTRODUCTION[4] = "greeting link";
A_S_IDENT[5] = ""; A_GEN_URL[5] = ""; A_OBJECT_ID[5] = ""; A_TEXT[5] = ""; A_INTRODUCTION[5] = "";
A_S_IDENT[6] = ""; A_GEN_URL[6] = ""; A_OBJECT_ID[6] = ""; A_TEXT[6] = ""; A_INTRODUCTION[6] = "";
etc.
<!-- Search for shopping transaction in launchpad -->
repeat with idx from 5 to MENU_NODE_TAB-TEXT.dim;
