SOI Console Logo

[Legacy User]

Hello,

 

I wish to incorporate my company's logo as the console's symbol visible at the taskbar ( and not at the Dashboard or the web UI). We used to have that in the previous version but now it is back to the default.

 

The preferences option is for the Dashboard if I am not wrong.

Any help?

 

Thanks

Hi Deepika, Can you please highlight in screenshot what exactly you are referring as 'Taskbar'. Thanks, Ashay

Hi Ashay,

 

Referring to this symbol. The application icon is where I want to have my company's logo.

Hi Deepika,

 

have a look at the file custom-branding-config.xml in ...\SOI\tomcat\webapps\sam\WEB-INF\console\config.

There are many things you can customize for the Application name, icon, etc.

The file has to be copied to ...\SOI\custom\console\config before modifying it.

Hi Michael,

 

Thanks for the update. Does it require a service restart as well?

The server is a standalone complete SOI setup. So could you let me know on which server this file resides- SAM or UI?

 

Also, the path that exists, or atleast that I happen to notice is \SOI\tomcat\custom/console/config.

Please correct if any gap here..

 

Thanks

Deepika

Hi Deepika,

 

you are correct about the path, I missed to type the tomcat part - sorry for the confusion.

 

I only have a singel-server environment as well, so I cannot double-check, but according to the function provided (the console), this should all be on the UI-Server.

 

According to the documentation you only have to restart the console, not the UI-Server process.

Be aware that some of the updates only appear when you clear the Java cache on your local machine to get everything refreshed.

Hi Michael,

 

I tried the same, but unable to see the app-icon/logo.

 

As a safe step, restarted  both SAM and UI services, still the same.

 

 

Thanks

Hi Deepika,

 

copy the file to ...\SOI\SamUI\custom\console\config.

Then clear the Java cache and restart the console.

 

The path in the comment is not very clear, and there are multiple directories, so I also used the wrong one first.

Sorry about the confusion.

I will recommend to the Documentation Team to make this more clear.

 

I think the icon also has to have a specific size (16x16).  For testing I used one of that size nd all worked fine.

Hi all 

 

I need to know if I can modify this link as well. I figured out how to modify the CA logo to represent my environment and would like to change the link itself to a site of my choice. 

 

It currently goes to Software and expertise to fuel digital transformation - CA Technologies

That can be changed. In the custom-branding-config.xml file, add or change this section whatever you need:

 

<logo-button>
<button-icon>image.jpg</button-icon>
<mouse-over-text>Mouse Over Text</mouse-over-text>
<click-action>URL</click-action>
</logo-button>

 

You'll need to restart the UI and delete the java cache on your local computer.

Hi Doctor,

As mentioned above, please refer to our documentation How to Customize the Operations Console Menu - CA Service Operations Insight - 4.0 - CA Technologies Documentation  and if this is still an issue, open a separate thread with the new question and we will be glad to help.

Make sure to delete the java cache on your local workstation so the new content can be downloaded.
