How to tell what enviroment your logged into

We are in the process of setting up EnterpriseOne and wanted to know if there is anyway to customize the differnt enviroments so a user that is logged into one knows what one they are in. A consaultant mentioned there is a way to put some logo on the main web page after you log in.

Anyone know of an easy way to do this?

Ask the to press 'About' link on top right of any screen in web client!

Hi,

The first and the foremost thing is that when a user tries to logs in he wont be allowed to enter the environment which he is not permissible to enter into. During the login process he would be asked to give the Environment and the Role.

i.e. if he is given environment JPD and PD he wont be able to login into JPY or PY or other environments.


Second,
If the end user is using fat client , he can see the logged on environment on the bottom part of the screen. That part would be giving 4 types information.
1) Where you are currently standing
By Default: Task View: EnterpriseOne Menus

2) Logged in username
3) Environment
4) Role the user has used to logged in

If the end users is thin client than during the login process , he would be asked to select the environment and the role that he wishes to use.


May be this has cleared your querries.

Because we have separate instance of websphere for each environment we used the simple but effective method of changing the colour scheme for each instance so that (for example) Live is green DV is red, training is blue and so on. Everybody notices very quickly if something is different.

Can you tell me how you had done that ?

IRFAN POLRA - This would be for people that have access to more then one enviroment, such as power users that we want to test stuff and dev people.

Wainwrr - the solution you guys have sounds very simular to what we are looking for (We were thinking of just putting a logo with the word Devlopment, Prototype, or Production on it on the page). How did you customize the color for each enviroment?

This is what we did for E811 with different colors for the text. Just change the login-deco.gif under the ..\..\share\images\login folder on the web server.

This is the easiest way to accomplish this:

Each environment should be equated to a single URL. The caching issue for Websphere requires this. When logged into a HTML client, right click on the icon on top and save it to your desktop. Modify the image in Photoshop. Place the modified logo in the .../webclient.war/share/images/login directory. Rename the old image to another name and then name the new file you just saved as the original name of the file. Since the different URL's maintain different directory structures, you should be able to have a big "DEVELOPMENT WEB SERVER" (example only) at the top when logged into your development server.

It's just a case of personalising the workspace colour scheme. Login in, Personalise action from top right menu bar, Colour scheme appearance in the Workspace Details section. We tie everybody to the same workspace so it's easy enough. The colour is then persistent trhough the applications. You do the same exercise - but with different colours through each instance (for which read environment in practice) The workspace colour scheme is held in the environment so if you have clones you only need to do one.
