Hi,

On newer versions stating 731 SP11 you can use the broadcast messages feature.

See the following resources:

Best Regards,

Hi .

I followed the quick guide provided and have received this below Masthead:

But I want the news link in the masthead like any other link.

The above one is not a very good option.

Can you please help further.

I am really  thankful for your quick updates

I was able to use the broadcast functionality.

Thats quite some relief.

But the client has requirement where we can show the news as flashing links in the masthead , which could attract the client's attention.

I hope I am able to get myself.

Anyhow the above option I am going to demo to client.

Thanks

In addition to what Hamendra Sir has said....

There is one more option you can try...

You can create a new XML RSS based iview and insert that in your framework page....just below masthead.

Creating XML iViews - Portal - SAP Library

For end user it will look more like an masthead only.

Hi Shweta,

You can amend the masthead par file to flash news.
