Customizing Oracle BPM WorkSpace Labels and Text Messages

WorkSpace provides a mechanism to customize labels and text messages. The following procedures show you how to redefine one or more labels and or text messages.

These procedures require the edition of WorkSpace configuration file workspace.properties in <ORABPM_HOME>/webapps/workspace/WEB-INF.

  1. Create a properties file.
  2. Open the properties file in a text editor.
  3. Add a key value pair for each of the messages you need to customize.

    • The key should be one of the keys listed in WorkSpace Messages Reference.
    • The value is the String you want WorkSpace to display for the label or text message corresponding to the specified key.
    Note: If the message needs to include input from the application it includes the string %number. The number corresponds to the number of inputs received by the message. When customizing messages that contain this string make sure you include it in the customized message.
    For example, if you want to replace the String "Help" for "Help me" you need to add the following key value pair to the properties file: Help=Help me
  4. Copy this file to <ORABPM_HOME>/webapps/workspace/WEB-INF/classes.
  5. Edit the WorkSpace configuration file.
  6. Add the key fuego.workspace.customMessageBundle and set its value to the name of the properties file, without the extension.

    For example, to add the properties file ModifiedMessages.properties, you need to add the key value pair fuego.workspace.customMessageBundle=ModifiedMessages to WorkSpace configuration file.

  7. Restart Oracle BPM web applications.

The next time you access WorkSpace, it uses the messages you defined in the properties file.
