In my previous tutorial I already talked about how to change the name and URL of BI launch pad. Often this is not

enough and partners as well as customers would like to change the logo or even color scheme of BI launch pad. The

SAP BI 4.0 SP4 release introduced a branding and theming mechanism that will be maintained over patches.

Detailed documentation about how to customize BI launch pad, Cyrstal reports or OpenDocument can be found in the

SAP BusinessObjects BI Customization Guide (see Web Application Customization section). For this tutorial I like to

focus on BI launch pad customization only. Please note that knowledge of cascaring style sheets (css) is needed for

this customization. You can make changes as small as changing the logo files or as big as changing the entire color

scheme of BI launch pad, it all depends on how many styles you override.

Retrieve sample files

As this customization can be quite complex, we provide you with a sample customization as part of the installation

package. The template.zip file is located in the Collaterals\CustomizationTemplate folder of your installation package,

and contains the branding bundles (JAR files) to customize. This file is the starting point for customizing your web

applications.

1. Copy template.zip from the Collaterals\CustomizationTemplate folder of your installation package to a directory

on your local drive.

2. Extract the template.zip file

3. Once extracted navigate to the sub-folder SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-

INF\eclipse\plugins of the extracted package

4. In that folder there is a com.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding.jar bundle, which contains a sample

customization. Using winrar, extract the com.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding.jar bundle

5. The sample files are located in web\sample folder. The sample contains sample images as well as a sample

css file to override the BI launch pad style as guidance. You can customize as little or as much as you like!

6. Open the customize.css file located in \web\sample\css folder using Notepad++ (or any other text editor)

Create customization files

It is recommended to start with a blank customize.css and add customized styles to the blank file using the sample

as guidance rather than modifying the sample customize.css file itself.

You can customize the favicon, logo, backgrounds, styles, and more. Most of these customizations involve changing

the CSS rules in the customize.css

file. All customizations must be made available in the web folder of

com.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding.jar to take effect. The web folder has to have the following sub-folder

structure:

\web

\css

customize.css

\images

favicon.ico

\theme

*.png, *.gif

1. Under the com.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding folder created from the extraction of the

com.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding.jar bundle, create the folder structure mentioned above

2. BI launch pad uses a few images as background for its UI, for this tutorial I have created a customized sub-set of

these images. Download the "BI launch pad background images in light red.zip". Extract the file and drop the

images the theme folder.

3. Create a new customize.css file in the css folder using Notepad++ (or any other text editor)

Customize BI launch pad logon page

The following diagram show the elements customized in this activity, for reference purposes. The numbers in the

boxes refer to sections in the sample customize.css file. Our official documentation contains more detailed diagrams

if you like to customize more parts. For the cases that the color is defined as hex color, I have suggested a new color

value; feel free to use any value you like.

1. By using the sample customize.css file and the diagram below, add the new css styles to the new

customize.css file.

Testing your customizations

Before performing customizations on your production systems, it is good practice to test your customizations first on a

test installation. In a default installation that uses the bundled Tomcat server, you can instantly see the effects of your

changes by making temporary modifications to the webpath.InfoViewBranding folders in the Tomcat work directory:

<INSTALLDIR>\SAP

BusinessObjects\tomcat\work\Catalina\localhost\BOE\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoViewBranding\web\ This folder

have the same structure as the branding resources contained in template.zip. Note: The Tomcat work directory is not

permanent and your temporary changes are deleted when patching. You may need to restart tomcat and clear your

browser cache to see the temporary changes.

Create the custumization bundle

1. Using Winrar open the sample com.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding.jar bundle

2. Delete the sample folder within the bundle

3. Add the your customized css and image folders and its underlying files under the web folder. Close Winrar

4. Copy the com.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding.jar branding bundle in the following location

<INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins

Deploy custimization files In order for these changes to show in BI launch pad one has to run wdeploy.

1. Stop Tomcat using the Central Configuration Manager

2. Use WDeploy to redeploy the BOE.war file on Tomcat. Wdeploy is available via the Start menu.

3. Wait for WDeploy to finish

4. Restart Tomcat

View customization

1. Clear your Browser cache in order to ensure that the browser consumes the new styles

2. Login to BI launch pad as Administrator.

3. Browse around to view the customization

Christina Obry Jun 19, 2013 5:40 PM (in response to Thomas Szarek)

Hi Thomas,

I just noticed that it should be webpath.InfoViewBranding instead of

webpath.OpenDocumentBranding; if you want to brand BI launch pad, use

webpath.OpenDocumentBranding for branding openDocument.

Now we don't create these folders with the install, it is created when you drop the branding

jars and run wdeploy. This prevents that the folders are overridden with any patches. If you

want to test the branding before you drop the branding bundles and run wdeploy then you

have to create the folder yourself.

I hope this helps,

Christina

Hi Christina,

I followed the steps mentioned by you, however it still picks up the same default

images for me.

Work Flow:

1. Stop Tomcat

2. Copy the Branding customization jar file to wrafile folder

3. Clear the Tomcat cache under work and cleared the webapps folder

4. Wdeployed

5. Start Tomcat

It still shows the default one.

It does show the branding folder under work and webapps "same location as

above" but the changes are not reflecting.

Tried clearing the browser cache as well.

Do your css and Images folders exist directly under

webpath.InfoViewBranding\web\sample. I deployed

the jar file without changing. But I had to move the css

make the customization work.

We're on BO 4.0 SP5. And a screen shot here.

I had no webpath.InfoViewBranding under C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP

and

C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP

Cleared browser temp files.But no change in effect.

How to delete Tomcat cache?Is it needed?

Please help me.

Hi, your directories seem to be correct. You may needto restarttomcat. Also please note that we only recommendto edit these directories fortesting purposes. For your actual deploymentplease make sure you copy yourcustomized thecom.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding.jarbranding bundle in the following location<INSTALLDIR>\SAPBusinessObjects Enterprise XI4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\pluginsand run wdeploy.

Hi, I don't have much other images, I could maybe dig out the out of box blue

images, but the size should be the same and they still need to be modified using

a image processing tool such as photoshop or fireworks. You can also create

brand new ones as long as you maintain the size of the image.

Hi,

the customization as described is supported, and customers using this mechanism of

using the branding bundles should not be rejected by support. Having said that any

customization outside the branding bundles and what is documented in our official

documentation may not be supported by support.

If you do want to revert back just remove the branding bundles and run wdeploy.

Hi, the documentation described here does not allow you to add an extra field/ dropdown to

the logon page, it is just for branding and theming. To archive what you want to do you

could create a custom homepage. Please see Business Intelligence Platform

Administrator Guide section 17.3.2 To define a custom logon page

(http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4_bip_admin_en.pdf) I

would recommend posting questions about the custom.jsp as a discussion in the forum

administration feature, but no branding and theming. Thanks, Christina

would be awesome.
