Blue Steel Theme Post-Install

Generate the SAS Web Application Theme

First you must generate the theme with default styles. The executable takes one parameter, which is the name of the theme. In this case, name the theme bluesteel.

Run the following command:

SAS_CONFIG\Lev1\Web\Utilities\SASThemeExtensions\NewTheme.bat bluesteel

Rebuild SAS Web Application Theme EAR File

To rebuild the EAR file for SAS Web Applications Themes and register your themes in metadata:

  1. Make sure that the SAS Metadata Server is running.
  2. Start the SAS Deployment Manager (SASHOME\SASDeploymentManager\9.3\sasdm.exe)
  3. Select Rebuild Web Applications and click Next.
  4. Enter the user ID and password for an unrestricted administrative user (for example, sasadm@saspw) on the Specify Connection Information page. Click Next.
  5. Select the check boxes for the Web applications that you want to rebuild (SAS Themes) and click Next.
  6. Review the Summary page and click Start. The SAS Deployment Manager builds the EAR files for the selected applications.

The new ear will be built in two locations.

Redeploy the SAS Web Application Themes

  1. Shutdown your web server. Typically SAS themes are deployed on SASServer1.
  2. Backup your current theme EAR file and move it outside of your web server directory.
  3. Copy all of the rebuilt files from SAS_CONFIG\Lev1\Web\Staging\exploded directory to your WEB_SERVER_DIRECTORY\*\SASServer1\deploy_sas directory.
  4. Unzip the sas.themes.bluesteel.zip file to WEB_SERVER_DIRECTORY\*\SASServer1\deploy_sas\sas.themes.ear. This will override all the default theme .css files with the blue steel theme files that are shipped as a standalone theme.
  5. Restart your web server.

Change the Theme

  1. Log into SAS Enterprise GRC.
  2. Click on the Preferences link.
  3. Under General > General > User theme, select Blue Steel.
  4. Click OK
  5. Log off and log back in to see the theme take effect.
