How to change standard start page of AS Java

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

could you please tell me - is it possible to change the start page of the SAP J2EE server (which is shown when you go to the http://<server name>:50+<system number>*100 page -

SAP Help Portal, System information, User Management etc.)?

Is it possible to change it to the customer page?

I thought it is connected with HTTP provider service, but the root directory pointed where

doesn't exists in the server (.../j2ee/docs),

so I don't understand, from what source the standard page is retrieved and shown to the user.

Thanks a lot!

Andrey.

Hello Andrey,

To change the start page, change the property u201CStart Pageu201D of the HTTP Provider service.

For example, to change the default page to the Netweaver Administrator, which is accessible at http://hostname:port/nwa, just set Start Page to nwa.

The property u201CStart Pageu201D is described here:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/52/46f6a089754e3a964a5d932eb9db8b/content.htm

More information about the Start Page is available here:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/92/576241f39bcc4d908494a1bcc98f1a/frameset.htm

Another way to change the start page is to deploy application which is mapped to the u201C/u201D URL pattern.

Hello Ventsi,

thanks a lot for clearing of the situation.

In fact we have a question - how to show the static web page which is stored on the J2EE server instead of the standard index.html. It is not an application, but simple html page.

In HTTP provider help we can see the following lines -

Root Directory

The root directory for this host. The installation program does not create the main directory for the HTTP files automatically. It must be created additionally, or the path must be redirected to an existing directory.

Value ../../docs

Start Page

This page is displayed when the browser establishes a connection with the host. The server searches the root directory for a file that appears in the Welcome Files list. The first match found is returned to the client browser.

So does it mean that we have to create docs directory manually and put our file into this directory?

Or it is the wrong approach?

Thanks!

Regards,

Andrey.

Hello Andrey,

In this case in Root Directory enter the full path to the folder where your HTML page is and in Start Page enter the name of the HTML file. For example

Root Directory: D:/usr/sap/TDS/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/home

Start Page: index.html

Next in the same window (HTTP Provider), click on the Application Aliases tab and de-select the u201C/u201D. Save the changes and your HTML page will be the new start page.

Cheers
