Customizing Logon page and Launch application page - EPM V11.1.2.2


Logon Page Customizing

Logon Page is the one which comes when we type the product URL with index.
Or, if we type the URL without index, the next window opens with Logon Page.

Logon_Panel.gif is the image shown on logon page of all EPM system products.


To change the logon page of any product, we need to change logon_panel.gif at following two locations

1.       Static directories of the application

Static directories of applications are present in Hyperion_Home directory at following location.
D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\epmstatic

2.       Respective ear/war files of the application

We need to change logon image in EAR/WAR files as EAR/WAR files get deployed when services are started/restarted if any changes are made to them.
So, if we only change in the static directory, changes will be lost if by any reason EAR/WAR for the application gets deployed again while restarting services.

Workspace Logon page customizing

1.       Static directory changes

Change Logon_Panel.gif at following location:
  • D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\epmstatic\bpmui\themes\theme_tadpole\images_global
  • D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\epmstatic\bpmui\themes\theme_tadpole_hc\images_global
2.       EAR/WAR file changes
Change Logon_Panel.gif at following location:
  • D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\bpmui-common\11.1.2.0\bpmui.war\bpmstatic\themes\theme_fusionfx\images_global\
  • D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\bpmui-common\11.1.2.0\bpmui.war\bpmstatic\themes\theme_tadpole\images_global\
  • D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\bpmui-common\11.1.2.0\bpmui.war\bpmstatic\themes\theme_tadpole_hc\images_global\

Launch application page Customizing

When we type product URL without index.jsp, the page opens with Launch application button.
The image on this launch application page is splash image and we can modify this splash image to customize launch application page.
   
 
To change the splash image, we need to modify splash image file for particular product at following two locations.
1.       Static directories of the application
Static directories of applications are present in Hyperion_Home directory at following location.
(Hyperion_Home = D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1)
Hyperion_Home \common\epmstatic
                                Splash image is then present at:
Hyperion_Home \common\epmstatic\application\images

2.       Respective ear/war files of the application
We need to change logon image in EAR/WAR files as EAR/WAR files get deployed when services are started/restarted if any changes are made to them.
So, if we only change in the static directory, changes will be lost if by any reason EAR/WAR for the application gets deployed again while restarting services.

                                Hyperion_Home \products\Foundation\workspace\InstallableApps\productear\ product.war\static\images\

Workspace Launch application page customizing

1.       Static directory changes

Change SplashScreenSystem9BIPlus.gif at following location:
  • D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\epmstatic\wspace\images
2.       EAR/WAR file changes
Change SplashScreenSystem9BIPlus.gif at following location:
  • D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Foundation\workspace\InstallableApps\Workspace.ear\ workspace.war\static\images\

  1. How do I open workspace.ear file?

    1. You should install 7-zip archive utility for this purpose (it's a good tool for handling zip archives anyway). Then you can right-click EAR and WAR files in Windows Explorer and select 7-zip > Open Archive. After making the changes inside the archive, close the 7-zip window and answer Yes to the prompt about saving changes to the original file.
