This week, Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving, I am grateful that I have a new place to publish articles and webinars – Speak BO.
Speak BO is the go-to hub for BusinessObjects webinars, training tutorials, information exchange, expert insights, live events, and a thriving global user community built on real experience and shared knowledge. Speak BO membership is free with two ladders of paid membership that unlock additional content.
You can express your thankfulness to your BusinessObjects users. Or share upcoming maintenance outages or other platform news. SAP makes it easy to communicate with your BusinessObjects users via the BI Launch Pad. Simply set the app.custom.banner.message property in the FioriBI.properties file located in the [BOBJ install]/tomcat/webapps/BOE/WEB-INF/config/custom folder. To wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving, simply paste the following and restart Apache Tomcat.
app.custom.banner.message=Thursday, November 27, and Friday, November 28 will be observed as company holidays in the US for Thanksgiving. Enjoy the time with family and friends, and we’ll see you back on Monday!
If you want to use special characters like the em dash — or French characters like ç, you’ll want to read SAP KB 3593869 and make sure you have the proper patch applied to your environment.
For more details on this and other branding and customization tips, check out the Speak BO article, How to Notify Users About Important Events and this month’s Speak BO webinar, Make the BI Launch Pad Yours – Branding & Customization Essentials for SAP BusinessObjects.
