ActiveVOS Central Advanced Configuration

In addition to providing configuration and multilingual support for ActiveVOS Central requests, tasks, and reports, you can add more advanced configurations.

This topic covers the basics of how to implement additional configuration, including:

• Replacing the ActiveVOS Central logo and icon images
• Providing your own online Help as well as Help in languages other than English

For advanced examples, check activevos.com.

To add your own logo:

1. In your project, create a text file with a name based on the default avoscentral.properties file. For example, avoscentral_en.properties.
2. Start the server, and open the ActiveVOS Server Console.
3. Search for avoscentral.properties.

This file contains keyIdentifiers and values for the ActiveVOS Central user interface.

4. In the Resource Detail page of the Server Console, you will see the Resource Definition for the properties file.
5. To add your own logo to ActiveVOS Central, copy the following line from avoscentral.properties:

ae.avc.header.logo.image=../avc-res/images/ActiveVOScentralTitle.png

6. Paste this line into your properties file (avoscentral_en.properties).
7. Change the identifier value to specify the location and name of your logo. For example:

ae.avc.header.logo.image=project:/myProject/images/myLogo197x35.png

8. Create a new .bprd file for the deployment of your logo and properties file.
9. In the bprd, you see a catalog entry for your properties file. For example:

<otherentry typeURI="res:/text/plain" 

location="project:/myProject/deploy/avoscentral_en.properties" 

classpath="resources/myProject/deploy/avoscentral_en.properties" />

10. Modify the location hint for your properties file. Your properties file must be stored in the catalog location provided by the location hint on the Resource Detail page of avoscentral.properties, as shown:

location="project:/com.activee.avoscentral.services/bundle/avoscentral_en.properties" />

Tip:

For a shortcut to deploying your file, you may prefer to create a project and export a file as described in the following topic:
