Issue/Introduction

This article outlines the options for modifying the "Next" button text displayed on tasks utilizing a Sequence Tab Controller within CA Identity Manager. It is important to note that CA Identity Manager does not support modifying this button text on a per-task basis; all modifications are applied globally across the environment.

Environment

• Product: Identity Manager
• Versions: 14.x

Resolution

Option 1: Modifying IMSResources Properties

The most standard approach is to update the global properties file. This change affects all instances of the "Next" button globally.

1. Navigate to the IMSResources_en.properties file (or the appropriate localized version for your environment).
2. Locate the following entry: global.button.next=Next
3. Update the value to your preferred text (e.g., global.button.next=Proceed).
4. Restart the application server to apply the changes.

Option 2: Modifying JSP Files

Alternatively, you may modify the JSP for the Sequence Tab tasks. Please note that this is a direct modification of application source files and carries significant risk during product upgrades.

1. Locate the file at: \global\app\page\tabsequence_tab_controller.jsp
2. Locate the button definition snippet: (imh:button styleClass="im-button" type="submit" valueKey="global.button.next" name="(%= tabSequenceContextImpl.getRequestStringForButton( TabSequenceContext.BUTTON_NEXT ) %)" /)
3. Modify the button configuration as required.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always take a backup of your original JSP files before modification. Modified JSP files may be overwritten during a product upgrade. Verify all customizations in a non-production environment before implementing in production.
