Changing the Application Name

The application name, "SAS Portal," which appears in the banner of the portal Web application, is not part of the theme. However, you can specify a different application name to appear in the banner.

Use the following steps to specify a different application name:

1. In the install.properties file (which is located in PortalConfigure folder of the setup directory), add the following property:

   $NAME_IN_BANNER$=Application Name

   where Application Name is the name that you want to display in the banner.

2. Use the configure_wik.bat utility to create a new Portal.WAR file that incorporates the new application name. For instructions, see Re-Create and Redeploy the Portal Web Application in the SAS Intelligence Platform: Web Application Administration Guide.

3. Deploy the new WAR file by using the appropriate procedures for your servlet container.

   Note: If you do not want to create a new WAR file, then you can edit the name-in-banner parameter of the web.xml file to specify the new name. The web.xml file is located in the Portal/WEB-INF/ directory of your servlet container.

   If you use this method, then you should also add the $NAME_IN_BANNER$= parameter to the install.properties file. Otherwise, the new application name will be destroyed if you run the configure_wik script again in the future.

Note: You cannot change the application name "SAS Information Delivery Portal," which appears in the title bar of the browser window.
