Defining virtual path for images to be visible without specifiying path(AS)

Hi,
I am running a report (Version 10g) which have an image (Read from file = yes) item with source "Function column" that returns an image name. Ex. "11.gif"
I am recieving an error that the applications server cannot find the image "11.gif"
Image 11.gif is stored in a directory on the Applications server "D:\photos".
Where should I add the directory path "D:\photos" so that the reports will view the image?
Thanks

No need to define a virtual path similar to what's done in forms 10g. An entry in the registry key 'REPORTS_PATH' is enough!

Is there a substitute tool path for "Image Adjustments Variations-" in Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition?

Is there a substitute tool path for "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" in Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition that brings similar results? I was used to using Image>Adjustments>Variations… in Photoshop CS4 Standard Standard Addition quite often. I upgraded to Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition to get the 64bit memory architecture compatibility on my Macbook Pro, booted in Mountain Lion. I see now that Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition has the "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" tool path removed.
I don't have Photoshop CS6 Extended, which has the all new Image>Adjustments>Variations… tool path. I only have Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition so, if anyone can share with me a substitute tool set that can give me similar results to using the old "Image>Adjustments>Variations…," I would appreciate it.

Thanks, R_Kelly.
You helped me to start exploring other tools in the Image>Adjustments Menu. "Image>Adjustments>Color Balance…" seemed to help me get the results that "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" used to deliver. "Image>Adjustments>Photo Filter>Warming Filter (85)" also got me to where I wanted to be in desired adjustments. I used to get the results I wanted in brightness, contrast, mid-tone adjustment, and color balance buy using just Curves, Variations, and Hue/Saturation. Now I'll use "Color Balance…" and "Photo Filter>Warming Filter (85)" along with Curves, and Hue/Saturation. I also have learned to use "Levels" some more to get the same effect as Adjustments>Variations…" I always thought there were more technically precise adjustment tools to get the same effect as "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" Adobe dropping Variations in Photoshop CS6 Mac version forced me to learn better image adjustment approaches for pre press color correction and image warming. I feel confident now to make Photoshop CS6 my prime-time work tool and move the Photoshop CS4 launch icon off of my Mac OS app Dock. Thanks again, R_Kelly.

Relative path for images in RTF templates

Hi everybody!
When I insert an image in a RTF template, I put its path into the web dialog, in order to see correctly the picture when I open the report from the xmlp server, in this way: url:{"http://servername/analytics/res/Images/image.bmp"}
How can I make this path relative, in order to see the images even if the server name changes?
Thanks so!

Hi Tim,
I am using BIP 10.1.3.3.2. I am able to access system variable CURRENT_SERVER URL.
Steps:
<?param@begin:CURRENT_SERVER_URL?>
<xsl:value-of select="$ CURRENT_SERVER_URL"/>
CURRENT_SERVER_URL is getting printed in BI Publisher. Value displayed is http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/xmlpserver.
Now we are importing xsl into RTF template. File aaa.xsl is stored at [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app]
We have hardcoded the path for XSL in RTF. The path is <?import: http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/aaa.xsl?>
As we want to set dynamic path we changed hardcoded xsl path to <?import: {$CURRENT_SERVER_URL}/../aaa.xsl?> but it is not working. Sometimes BIP is taking local path of MyDocuments folder and sometimes Desktop path. If I put that XSL file in MyDocuments folder or Desktop, it is working fine. But ideally it should refer [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app] path...
Thanks,

Relative paths for images upset by forwarding requests

Hello World.
          I am using a web app deployed in Weblogic 5.1 with service pack 8.
          I have hit a problem which puzzles me. When I forward a request from
          one JSP to another (say from A to B) the web server seems to take the
          URLs of the images on the served file (B) relative to the path on the
          calling file (A). Here's a detailed explanation...
          Suppose I have a the web app structured as follow
          /oddApp/launch/A.jsp
          /oddApp/B.jsp
          /oddApp/images/tick.gif
          Page A simply stores its request URI and forwards its request to page B
          <jsp:forward page="/B.jsp" />
          Page B displays its requestURI, contextPath and servletPath. It also
          attempts
          to show three images
          <img src="images/tick.gif">
          <img src="../images/tick.gif">
          <img src="/images/tick.gif">
          When I invoke page B directly, the first image is shown, the others are not.
          When I invoke page A, it forwards to B and the second image is shown, the
          others are not.
          In each case the URI, contextPath and servletPath are correctly displayed
          with regard to page B.
          URI = [oddApp/B.jsp]
          contextPath = [oddApp]
          servletPath = [B.jsp]
          The URI in A.jsp is also correct (i.e. /oddApp/launch/A.jsp).
          The search for the images seems to be relative to the original URI (i.e. not
          the URI used to forward), which strikes me as daft. It means that page B
          must be aware of where it is being called from. It is perfectly plausible
          that
          relative paths which suit when called from one location are incorrect when
          called from another.
          I had thought that including the leadling slash (as shown as the third
          image)
          would cause the search relative to the document root (/oddApp/), but this
          appears not to be the case. The search is done relative to the root of the
          server not the web app.
          Adding jsp mappings in the deployment descriptor of the web app does not
          help (I had thought it a long shot anyway).
          Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
          PHiL


i face the same problem (WinNT, WLS6.0): my wep app has a contextRoot " root " which makes it react to the URL: http://host:port/root /: it is this folder which will be used as a basis by the Web server But in the jps I use a relative URL for images: / images/toto.gif : it works very well when I deploy my jsp out of a Web-app by setting a document.root to the weblogic web server.On the other hand, once deployed in a Web-app, images are not found because the default path of the browser is http://host:port, without the context root of the Web-app! In other words, my war has images/*.gif in its root but when /images/toto.gif is resolved in a jsp, as the relative URL is not prefixed by my context-root, the image is not search in the war! actually, if I type http://host:port/root/toto.gif, my image appearsany clues? an alias on the web server? a setting in web.xml/application.xml and their weblogic equivalent files?

Fixing the path for images in RoboHelp 8

I am rather new to Robohelp, so please forgive me if this has been addressed in another dicussion...I have been searching and cannot seem to find what I am looking to describe.
I am working in Robohelp 8, and creating a new help system by importing topics from a previous help system. The problem I am running into and I cannot see how to fix is that there are a couple of topics that have images where instead of the path for the image directed to a folder called "Images" in the main directory, it dumps the graphic into the project manager window when I import the topic. I tried viewing topics that don't have their images on the main project manager window, and comparing against the one that does, and I cannot see the difference. I have tried renaming the images and placing in the correct folders, and then inserting the images into the topics, but it still tries to look at the main folder and still dumps the image into the project manager.
Any help you can provide please share.

I am going to say yes (because it sounds like what I am trying to get at, but not sure).....I have tried deleting the images, and recreating, and then re-inserting into the topic, and they still go to the root of project. As I am going along, I am finding more and more.....so far there are 20 images that are doing this. However, I also just did what you mentioned and dragged it and put it under the topic. But I am still confused as to why I would need to do this for some topics and for other topics the images don't appear at all (meaning they don't show under topics or root of project), they are just linked through the folder on the main directory. Does this image help more?
Left of picture above: The folder directory has a folder called Images, and this is where all of the images were stored and are stored for the new project.
Middle of picture above: The topic Horizontal Command had an image in it "image20.gif", and it was at the root directory and as you suggested I moved to the topic. Also see the topic circled Expand and Collapse Folders topic has the image circled at the left within it.
What I am trying to understand is why would the graphic from the Horizontal command topic dump into the root of the project, while the image from the Expand and Collapse Folders topic not show on the root project or even within the topic listed. (Which is what I prefer for all topics).

How to get images dynamically from database without file paths in the table field

I have a MS-Access database. I am working with ASP.NET. In the database there is product table in which I have "CodeNo" as a field which is a text field, and the product codes like "SM-R-2035". I also have another field "Image" which is also a text field and which have a file path in it corresponding to the particular product Image (e.g. Images\Products\SM-R-2035.jpg). So far every thing is ok. I have to update this site very frequently and lots of images are added each and every time. Its a tedious work to type the paths and file name every time and it also take a lot of time.
What I am asking is : Is it possible to get images from a specific folder at runtime which is referenced by the "code no" itself and not the file path from the database. (Say at run time the "code no" is referenced from the database and the corresponding image is loaded dynamically from the specified folder). In other word I want to avoid the tedious work of typing.
Can any one help with this issue. Any other simple suggestions are welcome.

All you need to do is simple concatenation to obtain the path for the image file. You didn't mention whether you are using VB.Net, C# or some other language to do your coding.
If the code in your database is SM-R-2035, the file name is SM-R-2035.jpg and the path to the images foilder is Images\Products\SM-R-2035.jpg, Conceptually here is what you need to do:
dim code_var
dim path_var
code_var = the code you obtain from your relevant field in the database
path_var = "Images\Products\" & code_var & ".jpg"
Now path_var is what you would call to obtain the image from your images folder.

Full path for images automatically?

Hi -
We do HTML for emails (i.e. - viewed in an inbox NOT a
browser, per se) so every document I create needs to have the full
URL path. i.e. -
http://www.servername.com/images/picture.gif
The Site Definition (Advanced Tab) allows me to make my
images relative to the site root. But since my customers are
opening my HTML docs in their inboxes, that doesn't work.
I thought there was a way to make the entire URL appear in
the code for all images. Right now I do a Find/Replace at the end
of my process, but I would prefer it to be automated.
I hope this makes sense, and I hope someone has an answer for
me.
Jon

Unfortunately, no. I have informed the higher authorities,
though....

CS4 Dreamweaver not replacing paths for images/links

New Windows 7 machine with CS4 Web Premium. When using Dreamweaver, and, for example, replacing an image or a link in the design window using the properties... I click on the image, click the browse button, select the new file (I've tried hitting OK and double clicking -both of which should, or at least used to work in CS3). However, when returning to the main screen, the path to the image or link has not been replaced.
What is interesting is that IF I click on more than one image - i.e. say I am replacing one.jpg. So, I open the browse button, and select two.jpg, but then click on three.jpg (which is the file I want) and then hit OK (if I double click three.jpg after selecting another image first), it works fine.
Any ideas how to fix this irritating bug?? Thanks...

Hallelujah!! I'm not alone!! I wonder if Adobe does actually browse these forums. I can't believe something like this isn't a really easy fix for them. I can't tell you the amount of times I thought I'd updated a picture and then looked completely incompetant to a client because it didn't take. Very sloppy on both mine AND Adobe's part.

Pathing for Image Links - CS5.5

Hi, we currently have out InDesign file in a folder which the name can change but within that folder we have a subfolder called images under we always have our images so our image links which get populated from XML data always point to file://images/imagename.eps so normally no problem finding links. What we are looking to do is have other subfolders with different InDesign files at same level as images subfolder but be able to utilize same images. Is there a way to point to these somehow without knowing the entire path, just being able to go back to the images subfolder which would be be up one level from actual InDesign file. I know on websites, we are able to do some ../ type of stuff which would handle that but never tried to do in InDesign. Thanks, Joe

Hi MissJB,
Please try downloading Dreamweaver CS5.5 from the Direct Download Links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
But make sure you follow the important instructions on the page before initiating the download.

Correct URL path for images on HTML reports

We are using Reports Server 6.0 and rwcgi60.exe to display HTML reports on the web. A number of our reports have embedded charts in them which get converted into gifs when the HTML report gets generated.
The problem is that the HTML report has a <base href="http://machinename/cache/xyz.html"> at the top of the report. In our case, the machinename is the name of the web-server. However, when folks go to our website, they actually see our domain name rather than the internal machine name of the web-server. Hence, the images do not show up as the URL associated with the image is not accessible by folks coming from outside the web-server.
Is there some setting that will help us set the base href associated with generated reports? Or is there some other way to get the reports to show up with images on the web?
Thanks

You can't change the base tag - but I'm not sure I understand the problem. If machinename.domain is the full name of the machine running the webserver, and this is what was used when calling the CGI, then this is what the base tag will have. Does your machine have 2 names or something - and only 1 gets resolved to some folks?

2) I'm looking at how you called stuff, and you're trying to call the jsp file as an image? That jsp isn't the source of the image, just a page linking to an image. I think if you really want to do things that way you're going to need to just include that jsp within the jsp you're calling it from (or you can do it the easy way, and if you have the information to get the path of the image you want, you could simply call the image from the first jsp you posted)This is incorrect.
There are two JSPs. The second when called will (if it worked) return the source of an image as stored in the database.even when called with <img src=xx.jsp>??
Yes.
If any of what I say next seems obvious or otherwise negative I apologize, just trying to explain and I don't know what you know vs what you don't.
The link in the src is just a URL not a filetype. So just because it ends with JSP does not mean it has to return HTML. The content type is determined by the browser using the Content-Type header returned by the server in the HTTP response. In this case the header is set to be a jpeg so that's what the browser will attempt to interpret the content part of the response as.
So in fact one is not limited to just HTML or images but whatever content type you would like to return (that the browser can understand anyway). This could be HTML or it could be an image of some type or it could be a PDF or it could be an Excel spreadsheet. All you have to do in the JSP is set the header appropriately and then send content that is actually in that format.
This does not just apply to JSP by the way but all other web programming languages. You can do similar things to produce the same results in PHP, Perl, ASP etc.
The only JSP/Servlet complication is whether or not doing this in a JSP is a "good" idea but I am not an expert enough at that to make a definitive statement. Mostly though JDBC in a JSP is a no-no.

InDesign behavior for image links on virtual drive?

When working with local InDesign files and local image links, I get warnings about missing links or modified links in case the images have been removed or updated since being placed in InDesign. When working with InDesign through Adobe Drive, the behavior seems to be radically different.
For instance, I place an image from the virtual Z drive and save the InDesign file on the virtual Z drive.
At a later time, the asset is removed from the DAM system (or moved so it is now mapped to a different local path).
When I reconnect through Adobe Drive and open the InDesign file, I will not get a missing link error, instead the link will appear without a missing link icon but also without a path.
Certain workarounds that we have implemented (e.g. remapping the path on the fly in case the asset has been moved) work when the originally placed image was a local file (i.e. occurs in the XMP with a C: path) but not when the originally placed image was retrieved through Drive (i.e. occurs in the XMP with a Z: path). Of course we would like to obtain consistent InDesign behavior regardless of whether the user connects through Drive or not.
Has this different behavior for InDesign links been documented? Can I get any additional information about it?
Thanks in advance.

In the mean time I have done some more research. Basically the issue I am struggling with can be illustrated with the following simple scenario:
1. Create a new InDesign file and place an image located at C:\Temp\link.jpg in it. Save the file to the C drive.
2. Connect to your DAM through Drive which is mapped to the Z drive.
3. Create a new InDesign file and place an image located at Z:\Temp\link.jpg in it. Save the file to the C drive.
4. Copy both InDesign files without the links to a clean machine (which has no connection with Drive and no images in the C:\Temp folder).
5. Open the first InDesign file. You will get a missing link error as expected.
6. Open the second InDesign file. You do NOT get a missing link error.
7. Create a new image on the clean machine and save it as "link.jpg" in the same folder as the copied InDesign files.
8. Open the first InDesign file. You will get a warning about a modified link with the option to update the link.
9. Open the second InDesign file. You do NOT get a warning about a modified link. You cannot update the link.
So the problem is in steps 6 and 9.
Why don't I get a missing link error in step 6?
What will happen when I try to print the InDesign document at this stage (or try to export to high resolution pdf)?
At this point the high resolution image link is not available so I assume the preview will be used.
However the user is not at all aware of this. This could turn out to be a major issue for our adoption of Adobe Drive.
Thanks in advance for any additional insight you can provide.

How to define a separate virtual host for each client in SICF

Hello,
We have an ERP system with multiple clients running on it. The WebDynpro ABAP applications once developed are available on all clients, as standard. However, this is not our desired behavior. We want:
1. The WebDynpro ABAP applications should be managed separately in SICF depending on the client
2. The URL for accessing the WebDynpro application should have a own host name for each client. e.g.
A WebDynpro application on client 100 should be accessed by http://host1:5000/sap/bc/... and the same application on client 200 should be accessed by http://host2:5000/sap/bc/...
After a while researching I find out that creating a virtual host for each client in SICF would be a possible solution to fulfill the above mentioned requirments:
1. Set the profile parameter is/HTTP/virt_host_* with corresponding host name and port number
2. Create a new virtual host in SICF assigning the profile paramter to it
3. Assign a client to this virtual host
My question is how to specify a client to a virtual host? I didn't find any possibilities in SICF!
Anyone can help me? Thanks a lot in advance!
Best Regards
Di Li

Hi Srikishan,
thanks for your reply. Your suggested way is certainly a potential, and also my preferred option for solving the multiple-client-capable URL access to WebDynpro / BSP applications.
However, for some reasons, based on the customer requirements, the client should not be visible in the URL. The URL for accessing the WebDynpro / BSP applications on different client should have different host name, as if they are different companies. Besides that, we want to manage each WebDynpro / BSP application on different clients in SICF separately.
Therefore, at least on my opinion, we need to introduce a virtual host for each client in SICF. But how do I make it happen?
