Customize top banner

[Ammus1234]

Hi All,

I want to add a dynamic date to the top banner in cognos connection. The date will be the last date on which the database is updated.
I modified system.xml to replace 'IBM cognos connection' text with another one. But not able to make the text dynamic. I can have the date in a file (eg. .txt). Is it possible to read the file content in system.xml and display content?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Cognos version 10.2.1 FP4

This should help you with the customization part:

As for the date part. You are probably going to have to work some kind of html/javascript/CSS to read it from a file. This file will need to be accessible by the Webserver (httpd).

Thanks Grim. I already have the link, looking into that I added the text.
But I want to make it dynamic inside the xml. I'm not sure on that part.

Now trying with themedesigner, find it more easy and organised. Let you know how it goes.
