Thanks Karthik,
I tried that snippet in userworkform but still busy indicator is not appearing in all the portals of our application. Pls suggest in case you have other approach.

It might depend on your version. I'd try pyThrobber first though.

Hi Laurence,

It is not a binary file. Infinity symbol is generated using two Square images and merging them using CSS. Code details can be found in "pzAboutHelpInc" rule.

in Pega 8.x, the throbber is no longer using an animating gif but instead uses a CSS spinner (spinner animated by CSS animations)
Some of the details are covered in these docs
- https://community.pega.com/support/support-articles/change-default-pega-busy-indicator-image
- https://collaborate.pega.com/question/customize-default-screen-load-or-refresh-image
If you want to override the CSS spinner, Just override the function ‘pega.ui.busyIndicator.prototype.createIndicatorImage’ in a JS file attached to your portal harness or in userworkform
For example this site has example of generating CSS spinner https://loading.io/css/

if (this.oSpan == null)
this.initialize(this._sNode);
var oSpan = this.oSpan;
var oLoading = "loading";
if (typeof(strLoadingMsg) != "undefined" && strLoadingMsg)
oLoading = strLoadingMsg;
if (this._message && this._message.length > 0) oSpan.innerHTML =
"<div class='throbber' role='progressbar' aria-valuetext='Loading content' tabindex='0'>" + "<div class='loader'></div><div class='lds-heart'><div></div></div></div></div>" + this._message;
else oSpan.innerHTML =
"<div class='throbber' role='progressbar' aria-valuetext='Loading content' tabindex='0'>" + "<div class='loader'><div class='lds-heart'><div></div></div></div></div>";
}
Add the CSS selectors to an override file attached to your skin and you will be all set
