How to upload new stylesheet (CSS)

[Former Member]

Can someone enlighten me on how i can add a new CSS template so that it is visible from the Web Application Designer and I can connect it to my Web Applications?

Hi Jans,

You can do this in Transaction SE80. ClicK on Mime Repository > BW >Customer > Stylesheets folder. Right click and choose Import MIME object. Or you can also create and then copy paste your CSS code.

After you upload, you need to delete the global cache in transaction SMICM > Goto > HTTP Server Cache > Invalidate > Global in system.

In the web application you have the ability to choose the stylesheet in the template properties box.

Hope this helps...

Bhanu ,

I understand MIME and uploading but why do we need to delete the global cache ?

Hi Arun,

deleting of global cache is relevant when you change MIME objects. The MIME objects are cached on the ICM. There is no automatic invalidation functionality. Usually those mimes are valid 2-3 days. If you don't want to wait that long for changes in MIME objects to take effect, you should invalidate the cache, or at least the specific MIME object.

In this scenario should I delete the cache ...

I upload a new CSS

my default CSS is still the default template - BWReports.css

I would like to use the new template uploaded for a few queries and I do not want to change the default template.

In this case do you want to delete the global cache .. and one more thing regarding the global cache .. what else does the global cache contain ..?
