Change the SAP Splash Screen...

Most of my customers like to be able to add their company logo or other image into the splash screen area of the SAP GUI. It is fairly simple to do:

1. Go to transaction SMW0 (SAP Web Repository)
2. Select "Binary Data for WebRFC Applications"
3. Create a new object and give it a name starting with "Z"
4. Import the object from the desktop (must be a .GIF)
- If it warns you about not having a MIME type setup, first create a new MIME type for GIF images under Settings > Maintain MIME Types
- You can also assign an editor for the MIME type, and MSPAINT works well for GIF images
5. Go to SM30 and maintain the SSM_CUST table
6. Enter the object name you created in step 3 into the START_IMAGE field
- If the START_IMAGE field does not exist, simply create it
- If you do not want the image to stretch with the SAPGUI size, set NO in the RESIZE_IMAGE field

Hope this helps...
