Recommendation Recommendation

When themes are imported, the portal automatically reloads, upgrades, if necessary, generates, and saves the themes in the PCD and in the file system. This process also happens when the portal or the design service restarts. If a restart is planned, you can save the time required for this process during import by going to SAP NetWeaver Administrator and changing the value of the following property in the design service to false:

Service — designservicepcdnotification under portal component com.sap.portal.themes.designservicenotificationservice

Property — Generate_Imported_Themes

For more information, see Accessing Portal Services in SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

End of the recommendation.
