Is it possible to change Welcome to Windchill in Windhcill home page

[kc-2]

I tried to edit the home page of windchill. Customer need their name instead of Welcome to Windchill.

Is it need any customization or can it possible without customization???

You can modify or replace the l_ptc_splash.gif file located here: codebase/wtcore/images/bblks/l_ptc_splash.gif

(For Windchill 10.1, I am not sure for other versions of the software.)

Make sure you save your work in a safe folder that will not be overwritten during an upgrade.

Hi Marc,

Thanks for your reply. Actually am asking about the Home page " Welcome to Windchill".

But whatever you mentioned that is a background image when loading the home page.

Thanks in advance...

For those modifications you might want to visit this discussion: WC Background Colors

Look for this response from Tom:

Welcome page is rendered from \Windchill\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\netmarkets\welcomepage.jsp file.

Hi Binesh,

You are correct. Actually i found that file from that i found welcomeRB.java file. In java file only i have to change.

I installed eclipse juno for customization. I changed in java file and complied it and replace WelcomeRB.class file in \Windchill_10.2\Windchill\codebase\com\ptc\core\ui\.

But its not changing.. Whatever i did that is correct or????.. Am new to customization...

Thanks in advance....

Hi Krishnamoorthy,

I did following and it worked

1. Changed following in WelcomeRB.java

     @RBEntry("Welcome to Windchill (Changed)")

    @RBComment("A title in welcome page")

    public static final String WELCOME_GUIDE_TITLE = "WELCOME_GUIDE_TITLE";

2. Executed following command from windchill shell to get the java file compiled

     tools class -Dclass.includes=com\ptc\core\ui\**
