BLOB field should be identified & displayed in its original format

Hello Friends
I have BLOB filed in Oracle in which files like , *.doc, *.xls, *.ppt, *.jpg ,*.bmp & many more type, I am not able to display the files in its original format of extensions using VB programs, Infact I have tried GETCHUNK method from VB, But I am just able to extract it to OS file, but not able to open it.
Could anyone help me to display these files in its original format
For Eg: If it is a *.doc file I should be able to open it from MS word etc.
Help needed very much
Thanks

Hi All,
Even I'm encountering the same issue. I'm trying to control the outputted date format programmatically.Please have a look.
data: v_int_date like sy-datum,
v_ext_date(10).
v_int_date = '20110201'
write v_int_date to v_ext_date MM/DD/YYYY.
Here I've tried to convert the date to external format using a fixed format(MM/DD/YYYY). But still it's getting outputted in the format DD/MM/YYYY only as that's the way its defined in the User Master!
Is there any solution for this? How can I 'override' defaults in the SAP User Master?
Thanks,
Mahesh

All fields should be in Display mode except Plant field in Va02 and VA32

Respected Guru's,
I want all the fields in VA02 and VA32( Change t-codes) to be in display mode, further user should be able to change the Plant value alone in sales tab.

How do I reconvert a pdf back to its original format?

Hello All,
Something strange has taken place when I either download a pdf from the Web, or create a pdf for one of my own proprietary files. Instead of becoming a regular pdf with the Adobe icon, they become a pdf in Illustrator format, with an AI icon. I can open them, but I have to work within the Illustrator format, which only allows one page to be viewed at a time; for example, if I have a 10 page document I have to close Illustrator and then open it again to view each page.
I have tried opening these AI/pdfs in Acrobat and then doing a Save As ... but the document still remains in AI format. What I'm concerned about is that I'm going to upload my portfolio onto a domain site, and that I may have technical problems because the pdfs are not in their original format, but in an AI format.
I have Vista Home Premium and Adobe Pro 8, which is part of my CS3 Creative Suite. Can someone out there give me some guidance on how I can correct this problem? All responses very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello All,
I have followed your suggestions, and what happens is that there is no
option box to check. I have tried Save As . . . Once I'm in Acrobat, I
think that Save As . . . will reset the program correctly, but it does not.
I still end up with the Illustrator icon on the pdf. I repeat there is no
option box to check within Win Exp. I have Vista OS. Thanks for any
further suggestions to try and correct these file associations. Does this
require a registry cleaner?

How can i add a drop down list to a fields using BHTML( displaying on its)

Please help me to add a drop down list to a field while displaying on ITS using BHTML or javscript. List should show all the values from value table or search help.

Hi Sandeep,
in ABAP, read the table (keys and values) and write it to the ITS context, e.g. with field names KEY and VALUE.
On the ITS template, write code like this:
`if (KEY.dim > 1);
   repeat with i from 1 to KEY.dim;
    keys1[ i ] = KEY[ i ];
    contents1[ i ] = VALUE[ i ];
    if (KEY[ i ] == SELECTED_KEY);
     selIndex = i;
    end;
   end,
   SAP_TemplatePulldownField("field1", fieldLabel=#label, name="KEY", key="keys1", content="contents1", selIndex=selIndex);
end`
(I had to add blanks between the brackets to get the code displayed correctly here.)
HTH & best regards,
Carlo

Image Blob field can't display in designer viewer & web app

It's very strange that my Image blob field is showing correctly in designer, but it's displaying nothing in Preview tab.
After I deployed in to the web application in jboss, there is one error msg output to server console:
ERROR [BlobFieldPictureCache] com.crystaldecisions.reports.dataengine.be: 某些参数缺少值
The later part is in chinese, its meaning is some parameters are missing value.
It's very strange.
Anyone can help?

I have fixed the blob image field display issue.
It's because I have two sql query command in the report although I have joined them together.
After I have merged them into one, the image can be displayed now.
However, the error msg still exists. Looks like not related to the image blob field.

How to display image in blob field in ResultSet in SiteStudio?

I am running Site Studio 10gR4. For a custom page, I created a component that basically runs a query. The structure of the underlying data is a combination of Varchar2, Date and a single BLOB field. The blob field either contains a simple jpeg image, or nothing.
In my Page where I am looping through the data, how do I display the blob as an image?
Currently the code looks like this:
 
 <tr>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 </tr>
 Field 1 is a blob and fields 5 and 6 are dates.
So really two questions:
1. How do I display field1 as an image?
Example:
doesn't do it. Is there a different function then getValue() that I should be using to get the blob contents?
2. I want to compare the date fields to todays date, and either change the color or conditionally display the fields. I could do this with basic taglibs from jsp. How do I do this with IDocScript?
Example:


Thanks, Ken

I actually don't know the answer to #1. If I were to guess, there's nothing out-of-the-box to handle blobs, so your best option is to write your own idoc function. Take a look at the How To component if you don't know how.
For #2, you almost have it right. Insert bold:

Error displaying a jpg file loaded into a table with blob field

This may not be the correct forum for this question, but if it isn't could someone direct me to the correct one.
I have created a table with a blob field in which I have loaded a jpg image. This appeared to work correctly, but when I try to display the image in internet explorer it comes back and tells me that it doesn't recognize the file type. Enclosed is the table create, load, and display pl/sql code. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks. For the mime/header I used owa_util.mime_header('images/jpg') because my image is a jpg file.
The database is 10g

Just a little more information. When I enter owa_util.mime_header('image/jpeg') I can't display the file. It just shows up with a red x for the file.
When I enter owa_util.mime_header('image/jpg') it displays the file, but in the format

This is the way I would expect it to look if I opened it with Notepad, or an application that doesn't recognize jpg files. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?? Thanks.

Sounds like you need a new battery. Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Display blob field image in Oracle Express

Hi,
I upgraded the apex in my Oracle express edition to 3.2 and tried to display image in blob field following the step in the Apex tutorial,
but the error '*The requested operation is not allowed* ' prompt.
I save the image file in a table with fields mime1,picture1=> blob field.
I created a problem as follow:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE download_my_file(p_hotel_id in number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;

htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment;

-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end download_my_file;
GRANT EXECUTE ON download_my_file TO apex_PUBLIC_user;
GRANT EXECUTE ON download_my_file TO public;
I tried display the image by using <img src="#OWNER#.download_my_file?p_hotel_id=1" height=60 width=40 /img>
But the image don't display...
if I type http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/HOTEL.download_my_file?p_hotel_id=1 to display the picture , the error " Forbidden,The requested operation is not allowed" prompt.
Am I miss out anything? Anyone can help?
Thanks
Vincent

Hi,
I use a slightly difference code to display images: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:11]
It is possible that your GRANT command needs to be for PUBLIC instead of public - some things are case-sensitive.
Also, have you checked in SQL Workshop, Object Browser, Procedures to see if your procedure is valid?

Display image from BLOB field (png image)

Hello,
On my database i have a function which return BLOB (png image from a webservice)..
Is there some tutorial or sample code how to display a image froma blob field in oracle reports?
thank you

You can create a view and base your report on that view. The view would be something like:
create or replace view my_view as
select my_blob_function() image
from ...In your Report it would just be:
select image
from my_viewNow, I'm not sure if Reports supports png format, though.
There are many examples to be found, e.g.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10602_01/orbr_dyngraph.htm

Its urgent regarding Blob field

I have a stored proc trying to retrieve blob field(a binary file) from a
View(in schema1) in oracle10g. After retrieving I am sending it to another
databsase(schema2) through a dblink which is in oracle9i. I am using TOAD for
this. My code is
Insert into [email protected]
Select VPF.P_ID AS PET_ID,
DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(VPF.PDF_FILE, 4000, 1) AS PET_FILE
FROM V_PDF_FILES VPF, [email protected]
I am unable to insert this. I am getting an error related to BLOB Field. My
question is, the DBMS_LOB package which I have used is correct or not to
retrieve? If yes, then is it compatible to send the BLOB from Oracle 10g to
Oracle9i? What are the limitations for this.? How can I resolve this. Your
response will be greatly appreciated. If you need more information then let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Go to SE11, ur table name and click on change ..now go to Utilities->Table maintenance Generator ,
there click on the single screen,it will take u to the screen code and then u have to click on button Layout(for screen) ..

I cannot display image (read from oracle BLOB field) on browser?

I cannot display image (read from oracle BLOB field) on browser?
Following is my code, someone can give me an advise?
content.htm:
<html>
<h1>this is a test .</h1>
<hr>
<img src="showcontent.jsp">
</html>showcontent.jsp:
<%@ page import="com.stsc.util.*" %>
<%@ include file="/html/base.jsp" %>
<%
 STDataSet data = new STDataSet();
//get blob field from database
 String sql = "SELECT NR FROM ZWTAB WHERE BZH='liqf004' AND ZJH='001'";
 //get the result from database
 ResultSet rs = data.getResult(sql,dbBase);
 if (rs!=null && rs.next()) {
 Blob myBlob = rs.getBlob("NR");
 response.setContentType("image/jpeg");//
 byte[] ba = myBlob.getBytes(1, (int)myBlob.length());
 response.getOutputStream().write(ba);
 response.getOutputStream().flush();
 // close your result set, statement
 data.close();
%>

Don't use jsp for that, use servlet. because the jsp engine will send a blank lines to outPutStream corresponding to <%@ ...> tags and other contents included in your /html/base.jsp file before sending the image. The result will not be treated as a valid image by the browser.
To test this, type directly showcontent.jsp on your browser, and view it source.

How to insert/display a Blob field(PDF) from Oracle 11g into CR XI version 11.5.12.1838

Hello
I am using CR version 11.5.12.1838 and I would like to display/insert a BLOB field into a CR report and this BLOB field has a .PDF file in it. Is there anyway this can be done?
Your help would be appreciated
Thank you
alpha

Hi Alpha
Not as far as CR is concerned. Note that even adding a PDF as an OLE object to cr will result in only the 1st page being rendered.
From what I gather in the discussion here, I don't believe CR is the utility that can be used in this case.

CRXIR2 image from blob field and some fonts not displaying in PDF export

I used CRXIR2 developer edition to create a report linked to a SQL 2000 database table. There is a blob field containing a JPG image that is different for each record in the table. I am using VB.NET code with ASP.NET 2.0 to programmatically change the temp file to a local folder for easy cleanup, open this crystal report with the 11.5.3700.0 version of the assemblies, set the datasource to a DataTable extracted from the DB, and then export to a PDF file.
The code for creating the PDF is:
        Dim TempRoot As String = MapPath(".") & "\temp\"
        Dim oldTmp As String = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TMP")
        System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", TempRoot)
        Dim objReport As New ReportDocument()
        objReport.Load(MapPath(".") & "\CReports\" & ReportName)
        For lnX As Integer = 0 To objReport.Database.Tables.Count - 1
                objReport.Database.Tables(lnX).SetDataSource(resultTable)
        Next
        Dim objDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
        Dim objExportOptions As New ExportOptions()
        Dim objFormatTypeOptions As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.PdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
        Dim pdfName As String = "test.pdf"
        objDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = MapPath(".") & "\temp\" & pdfName
        objExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
        objExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
        objExportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = objDestinationOptions
        objReport.Export(objExportOptions)
        objReport.Dispose()
        System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", oldTmp)
When I run the site locally in VS2008, everything works fine and a PDF contains the graph and all the fonts are correct.
However, when I run the exact same site from a web server running IIS6, the PDF generated does not have the image, and some of the fonts are substituted (all of the necessary fonts are installed on the IIS server).
Please help!

Hi Don,
I am able to see the image and export from the CR Designer on my machine running XP. However, I installed the designer on our IIS server running Server 2003, and the image does not show in the designer preview on that machine.
I found another forum thread that you are involved in (1902383) that seems to be dealing with this exact issue, and it looks like there may not be a resolution.
I am going to try a different route - instead of pulling in the SQL Image field directly, I am going to write it out to a temporary file and pull it in by altering the graphic location of the picture object in the report.
I'll let you know how that works.

Can we use BLOB fields (that store images) in Crystal Report ?

I'm developing with ASP.NET, VS.NET 2003.
Using Crystal Report for VS.NET
DataBase: Oracle 10g
I store a BLOB field in a table. This field store images, like jpg files.
The Stored Procedure that I use to fill the report is:
OPEN MyCursor FOR
SELECT MyId , MyImg
FROM MyTable
MyImg is BLOB field
However, when I try to use the stored procedure in Crystal Report at design mode, any field can be displayed and then drag and drop to the report, but MyImg is not possible.
There is an error message:
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80004005
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
Description: Data type is not supported
I'm afraid that is not so easy for me to change DB connector drivers.
My question is:
- Is it possible to use BLOB fields in Cyrstal Reports?
- Or should I convert them previously to something, so they can be displayed in Crystal Report at desing mode ?
- If I should change DB connector drivers, which one should I use and from where should I download it and then install it in my Web Server?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
I dont know much at all about CR, but I do know Microsoft's OLEDB Provider for Oracle doesnt support Blob datatype.. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q244661/
Oracle's OLEDB provider does though, you can get it as part of the ODAC download on OTN.
Hope that helps,
Greg
