Logo Customization in BO logon page

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are on BO 4.1 SP4 Patch 2. As part of customization, we had to change thecustomize.css in InfoviewBranding.jar for resizing a logo in welcome page. But
customize.css supports yellowish color coding instead of default color codes.So now our Launchpad is fully yellow tinted.

Our requirement is only to customize the logo while all other color schemes should remain as in default.css. Reverting to default.css color scheme is tedious and also some details when compared to customize.css are missing to update manually. Also manual updation of each color is error prone.

Request you to please let us know if there is a better approach to handle this..

Thanks,

Zon

Hi,

You can follow the below steps

1. Stop Tomcat.
2. Take a backup of the web.xml file at <BOE INSTALL DIR>\SAP
   BusinessObjects\tomcat\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView\web\WEB-INF
   and edit it.
3. For changing the login banner, search for the following: img.login.banner
4. Change the param value to the name of the new image. If the new image
   is named as Untitled, this is how it should look:
        
   <param-name>img.login.banner.logo</param-name>
           
   <param-value>Untitled.png</param-value>
5. Make sure the new image is a .png file.
6. For changing the image after logging in to BI Launchpad, you need to make
   the changes to the following param value in the same web.xml file:
        
   <param-name>img.banner.logo</param-name>
           
   <param-value>banner_logo.gif</param-value>
7. The new images should be located at the following location:
        
   C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP
   BusinessObjects\Tomcat\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView\web\images
   
   
8. Once the changes are made, delete all folders under the following
   location:
         C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP
   BusinessObjects\tomcat\work\Catalina\localhost
9. Restart Tomcat and wait for all the folders to be created at the following
   location: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP
   BusinessObjects\tomcat\work\Catalina\localhost
10. You may need to clean browser cache as well to make the changes take effect.
    
    
11. Launch BI Launchpad and login.
12. For customizing logos on CMC page, do the same under <BOE INSTALL
    DIR>\SAP
    BusinessObjects\tomcat\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.CmcApp\.

-Also take backup before making any changes.

Hi Shree,

Thank you for your kind response! Where can we specify the size of the logo in the mentioned approach.. Our logo is larger than the default size of 64X31 px in default.css.

Will size be read from logo image file or considered from any CSS (default.css) ?

Thanks,
Zon

Hi Zon,

The size will be read from logo image file but if it is larger than the default size it may not set properly on the login page.You might have to resize your image so that it shows up properly on the login page.
