Setting Up Reservation Manager › Post-Installation Configuration › Configure Announcements

Configure Announcements

Reservation Manager can display an optional Announcements pane on the end-user home page. Use announcements to communicate key operational information and news to users, such as planned and unplanned outages, new system or image support, and so on.

To configure announcements

1. Log in to the Reservation Manager using the CA Server Automation administrator user credentials.

   The home page opens.

2. Click Administer Your Reservation Manager.

   The Administration page opens.

3. Click Manage your configuration settings.

   The Configure Settings page opens.

4. Click the following link in the General area:

   Announcements

   Specifies the location of the Announcements.html file, which contains announcement information. The default directory for the file is /Tomcat/webapps/ssrm/Announcements. You can specify a different directory here.

   Default: default

5. Open the directory where Announcements.html is located, and modify the text.

   Important! If you edit the Announcements file, save it with UTF-8 encoding. Non-English operating systems have multibyte characters that must be saved with UTF-8 encoding. Microsoft Windows Notepad can save with UTF-8 encoding.

6. Save and close the file.

   The announcement change is made when you restart the browser.
