how to add html announcement banner via jira-application.properties or sql

[C_ Faysal_CFcon_]

hi folks

according to this KB Page

https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=54362277

i try to set the jira.alertheader via this property file..

how do i use this option? i didn't find any detailed explanations on how to insert multi line html code

i tried with just a simple "jira.alertheader= Test Info" but no announcement is shown.

or is it not possible to set that in jira-application.properties ?

i found out it can be set in the database directly

select pt.id, pt.propertyvalue from propertytext pt join propertyentry pe on pt.id=pe.id where pe.property_key='jira.alertheader';

and then

update propertytext set propertyvalue='' where id='<id from above>';

but i think the other solution is more comfortable isn't it?

background info:

i use a restore script to clone jira from production to standby...

on the standby host i need an announcement banner (public) to inform the user that he is not on the backup system.

thank you

Use jirahome/jira-config.properties

Flag is the same jira.alertheader

[C_ Faysal_CFcon_]

grep jira.alertheader /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/jira-config.properties
jira.alertheader=TEST
jira.alertheader.visibility=public

really no idea?

oh lord...just now i see the note that this is an old version of the page....

as there is no version for current jira relase it means it won't work?
