Dear All,
Recently we got this requirement:
Client wants to display a clear message in TEST and DEV instance so that portal displays a clear message and the client is not confused.
Since we already know the instance name which is stored in database. we come up with this approach.
Client wants to display a clear message in TEST and DEV instance so that portal displays a clear message and the client is not confused.
Since we already know the instance name which is stored in database. we come up with this approach.
"Show the Portal logo based on Instance" i.e. If it is a DEV instance show the DEV logo image , if it is a test instance - show test instance logo and similarly for PROD.
Here is how we achieved
1 Steps needs to be follow to change Portal logo based on
instance
i.
Upload the necessary images to work space
ii.
Create Application Item
iii.
Create Application Computations
iv.
Set the value for Logo image
Let me explain each of the above steps
Step 1: Upload the necessary images to work space
i.
Open the instance (dev /test/prod)
ii.
Choose the Application.
iii.
Click on Shared components. In the shared
components window, scroll down and find Files Components section. Under Files,
you can find images. Click on it. Below is the screen shot for your reference.
iv.
In the Images window, first click on Create
button. It will take you to the Upload image window. Browse the required image
and click on Upload button as shown below.
Step 2: Create Application Item
i.
From the Shared Components window select
Application Items which is present under Logic
components section
ii.
Now in the Create Application Item window,
provide name for the item .In our case I have provided ‘AI_NAME’
and accept the defaults for other options and finally click on ‘Create Application Item’ button as
shown below
Step 3: Create Application Computations
i.
Click on the Application Computations option
from the Logic components section under
Shared Components
ii.
Now in the Create Application Computations
window follow the steps mentioned in below screenshot and finally click on
Create Computation button.
Let’s
take a closer look at Computation value
select decode(name,
'DEV','DEV_Logo_m3_DEV.JPG','TEST','TEST_Logo_m3_TEST.JPG','PROD_Logo_m3.jpg'
) from v$database
In the above SQL code snippet, If it is a
1) Dev instance ->
DEV_Logo_m3_DEV.JPG
2) TEST instance ->TEST_Logo_m3_TEST.JPG
Else
it will show PROD_Logo_m3.jpg image. So you can set the image names accordingly.
Step 4: Set the value for Logo image
i.
Shared Components -> User Interface
components section ->User Interface Attributes
ii. As shown in below screen shot the value for Logo text
field is ‘#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#&AI_NAME.’
Please note there is a ‘.’(dot) at the end of the expression
Run the application and you can see logo is changed based on
the instance. In our case it shows TEST instance image.
That's it !. Hope it's helps you.
