HTML document in SAP start screen

matthias_lambrecht — Sun, 02 May 2010 08:03:12 GMT

Dear All,

we have always changed the logo on the right side of the SAP start screen using transaction SMW0 and table SSM_CUST.

The file format was GIF or BMP.

I'm trying to use a HTML document now as I want to post some links in the start screen.

I tried 1000 times now, but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

What I did so far:

1. SMW0 upload HTML file (binary) => ZHTML01

2. maintenance of mime type (text/html => *.htm, *.html)

3. changed start image in table SSM_CUST to ZHTML01

If you logout and go back to the system the initial screen is empty.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Matthias

Hello,

thanks for the reply.

I have tried this already and I am able to enter a link to a website then which will be visible on the right side of the login screen.

But is it possible to upload and display a single HTML page?

Thanks

Matthias

Yes, it's explained in the note, you enter its URL. The URL links to a HTML page where you don't have links to go anywhere. I don't understand your issue.

The single HTML file I have tried to upload includes links to files located on a file server.

Now I have to find another solution... Thanks anyway.

To stick to your initial question, the name you entered is incorrect, it is neither a HTTP, nor a file on your desktop. You should not store the file using SMW0. Place the file on a web server, or on every presentation server.

To make sure it works, enter the URL in RSDEMO_HTML_VIEWER program. Then enter this path in SESS_URL.

I started with SAP Note 1387086. Added the entires "NAME" and "VALUE". Verified I can ping the URL listed for the VALUE entry. This is the first I have heard about editing RSDEMO_HTML_VIEWER.

Is this the line entry I need to change: DATA url(255) VALUE 'HTTP://WWW.SAP-AG.DE'.

No matter what I do the simple html file with no hyperlinks is not displayed on the right hand side in the SAP easy access initial screen.

I was able to eventually just diplay water ripple image on the right hand side but I want to use a simple html page.

SSM_CUST values are:

ALL_USER_MENUS_OFF YES

CUSTOMER_MENU_OFF NO

CUSTOMER_PREFIX ZAR_

DISPLAY_INFOSYSTEM YES

HIDE_START_IMAGE YES

IAC_SERVER_ADDRESS NO

INTERNET_MENU_OFF NO

NEW_WINDOW_MODE NO

PFCG_CONSIST_CHECK NO

SAP_AFTER_PROF_GEN /VIRSA/Z_AFTER_PROF_GE

SAP_BEFORE_PROF_GEN /VIRSA/Z_BEFORE_PROF_GEN

SAP_EXIT_USERS_SAVE /VIRSA/Z_EXIT_USERS_SAVE

SAP_MENU_OFF NO

SAP_SINGLE_USERPROF /VIRSA/Z_SINGLE_USERPROF

SESS_URL http://xxx.myurl.com/xxx.html

USE_TREE_CONTROL NO

Appreciate any assistance. Thanks in advance.

Hello Benjamin,

I have stored my HTML site on Sharepoint and entered the url in table SSM_CUST with key SESS_URL.

Example:

Hope it helps... 🙂

Right, that's the way we did it.
