The right side of the SAP EASY ACCESS screen is often an empty space, and every user is viewing it when he starts his session. What are you waiting for to use it as a panel of information ?
In production system, the information would be for your SAP users. Therefore you can be sure everyone will see your information. You can publish information business oriented, calendar events like Christmas in December, more practical things like the menu of the week at the enterprise restaurant, promote the last product created by the company, a funny picture to start your session with a smile, or an event to come like the summer party organized by the boss…etc.
In development and quality system, more dedicated to IT people and key users, why not publishing the ongoing project planning, or a reminder note. Imagination is the limit.
Examples: fun, event, calendar, project planning, product.
Here is a step by step explanation.
Step 1: SAP Web Repository (run tcode SMW0).
Choose the radiobutton “binary data for WebRFC applications” and press the table icon (or press “enter” on the keyboard).
The selection screen must be left empty. Press the “execute” button.
Select “Settings” in the menu, and “Maintain MIME types”.
Here you must define the extension, if it is not already done, of the format of the images you want to upload.
Save it and come back to main screen where you will create a new entry with the picture you have chosen. You must respect the namespace starting your object name with a Z or Y.
Press the “import” button to select the picture from your drive.
For the exercise we are chosing a local object but if you have to transport it, fill the package field and save. Your image is now available in your library.
Step 2: Assign the image as the active one.
Run Tcode SM30 with the table SSM_CUST, an press “maintain” to add the name of your picture in the column “value to be set”, for the entry “START_IMAGE”.
Among the different entries possible in the table SSM_CUST, you have to manage the entries “HIDE_START_IMAGE”, “RESIZE_IMAGE” and “START_IMAGE”.
and here you go with a nice SAP EASY ACCESS PICTURE: Enjoy !
