Dynamic Image - url

Hi there,
I'm working with 5.6.1 version and using the following way of parameter for a dynamic image it seems to work : alternative text url:{IS_GIS} where IS_GIS is a variable coming by an sql script, here the url http://www.affecto.lt/gfx/it_group_logo.gif.
If I'm trying out with the 10.1.3.3.3 version it won't work....
thanks
Gian

Hi Gian
Are you getting an error or just no image, is the URL outside of a firewall?
I assume 5.6.1 version is under an Application e.g. EBS, PeopleSoft?
With 10.1.3.3.3 you are under the standalone release? If so, are you setting a proxy server upon startup to get to the image location?
Can you post an XML snippet and the RTF field contents?
thanks
Tim

Dynamic Image Url html view

Hi all,
I am currentyl trying to display an image, which can be accessed by a http-url refering to an external server.
The problem is, that that the displayed image is linked with the content...that means, that the image url has to be dynamic.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem. I am currently mapping an url to the url-input of the html-view, but by starting the application the following error occurs:
com.sap.tc.wd4vc.intapi.info.exception.WD4VCRuntimeException: No parser configuration entry for the tag HtmlView
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards, Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Are you still looking for the answer?
Did you try the expression editor of the image control, where based on expression (ie., your content), image will be displayed.
Are you storing the data (from where you pass the content to next UI component or next screen) in a data store; and taking the data store value in the expression editor of the image component?
Let me know if it helps
Regards,
Vani

Hi,
Add this line inside your run() method, right before your call to repaint():
if (image != null) {image.flush();}Hope this helps,
Kurt.

Dynamic Image Issue url:{concat(../DIR_ID2,'/',Filename_ID357)} command

Hello.
I'am actually using dynamic images depending of a filename and directory. This is working fine.
My problem is that my dummy image have a form (is in horizontal) and the dinamic images that i want to import to my template have multiple forms, i have images in vertical and images in horizontal and when i import an image that is in vertical , the image stays adjusted to my dummy image.
In this specific case , the customer have more than 20 companies with different logos ,of different forms, and when i import the logo to my template i want that the logo maintains his original form and not the form of the dummy image.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks in Advance

Dynamic image is not being displayed in Adobe Reader 8.1

Hi,
In interactive form, we have followed below required steps to show a dynamic image.
For the left image, drag and drop an Image Field element from the standard Library tab to the Body Pages pane. Select this image field and edit the following properties:
Click on the Layout tab and choose None for the Caption position.
Click on the Object, then the Binding tab and choose None for Default Binding.
Click on the Field tab, enter $record.SapOnlineShopUrl for the URL entry, and select Use Image Size for the Sizing field.
Click on the script editor and enter the following FormCalc script statement, which enables the dynamic integration of the image. Show: initialize Script: this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
Language: FormCalc Run At: Client
Image is displayed properly in Adobe reader 7.1 but it's not being displayed in Adobe reader 8.1.
I was going through some forums and understand that Adobe 8.1 blocks href URL. If this is indeed true, what's the alternative way to show a dynamic image?

Dynamic image in the template builder plug-in does not work

Hi all,
The documentation says:
Direct Insertion
Insert the jpg, gif, or png image directly in your template.
+...This works obviously+
URL Reference
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{'http://image location'}
For example, enter: url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
+...This works too when I hardcode an url as url:{'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png'}+
Element Reference from XML File
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{IMAGE_LOCATION}
where IMAGE_LOCATION is an element from your XML file that holds the full URL to the image.
+...This, however, does not work.+
I use Apex' report query tool and My query is like
select 'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png' IMAGE_LOCATION from ... (a single result set for my template)
the xml data is generated with an IMAGE_LOCATION tag. I load it to word template plug-in. The Url successfully displays in the report if I make it a plain-simple field.
But when it's in the image format->web->alt text as url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} no image displayed.
I need to keep this design procedure simple so a simple word user could design a report via using just template builder plug-in. I don't wish to explore the xsl-fo area...yet.
Could you tell me why I can't get this url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} to work?
Regards

Showing dynamic images in BI Publisher PDF report

I defined a RTF report layout in BI Publisher. Almost done, but one requirement missing...
I should be able to include a dynamic image (so every "object" on the report has it's own image).
At first I embedded the base64 converted image in the XML output, but then I am running into the 32K limit. (Small pictures render fine).
Although Marc Sewtz sort of promised in June 2008 (!) : "One issue, which we'll address in the next version of Application Express, is the 32k limit on report columns." on his blogpost http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2008/06/one-question-about-pdf-printing-feature.html , it still not addressed.
So I tried to embed the image in the report using a trick described on the forum (and BIP documentation), by embedding a dummy picture and set the "Alt-text" of the picture to
(as an example) : url:{'http://www.oracleimg.com/us/assets/oralogo-small.gif'}.
The strange thing is, that works fine for HTML Output and Excel output, but not for Word and PDF (why it does work for Excel and not for Word is very mysterious....). And of course I need a PDF output.
I also tried to embed a FO snippet:
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src="url:{'http://www.oracleimg.com/us/assets/oralogo-small.gif'}" />
</fo:block>
But that doesn't (seem to) work on any output...
But
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src="D:\Users\rhartman\Documents\PrintScreen Files\Screenshot004.jpg" />
</fo:block>
does produce the image on the PDF output.
So who has an idea how to solve this issue?? You'll be rewarded with a lot of pionts ;-)
TIA
Roel

Hi Carsten
That was exactly* I was looking for. Maybe I should Google more in German ;-)
The main problem was that I defined my image outside the first repeating group (that doesn't repeat, it's always just one object) - the first group is followed by 7 more.
Just like the "Name" (that's positioned outside the group in the document header), I positioned the image above the table representing the group.
Doing that, the "Name" is filled correctly, the Image only when the Output Format is Excel or HTML - not Word or PDF ... makes no sense but that's tje way it is.
After moving the image inside the group....it works great!
(One more thing...the image size is fixed to the image you use as "dummy". Is there any way to make that more flexible, because now some scaling happens...)???
@Trent: That was the way we initially did it, but when the size of the row exceeds 32K...you know what happens.. And even with a small image the 32K limit is hit easily
The way I use it now (very similar to Carsten's description) there is no limit....
Thank you all!
Roel

[Help Plz]Image URL in PDF

Hello,
We have a report to produce using IText API
Everything is fine in test phase but few days ago we tryied to test the report using the server name ALIAS and we get error :/
Server returned HTTP error code 503, I search in the net and I found that it's due to a temporary inavailability of the server but It still not working so we tried to find another solution :
I used the code below :
//url is the dynamically generated url of the image.
java.awt.Image awtImg = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(url);
//I get error here
com.lowagie.text.Image image2 = com.lowagie.text.Image.getInstance(awtImg, null);
document.add(image2);
but I get the following error : java.awt.Image fetch aborted or errored
I search in the internet, too many people asking the same question but no one seems to have the answer
(people facing the same problem say that the problem is due to the fact that we have an url in parameter).
When I try to access the image on the server using the generated url (copy paste to the browser), it works, I can see the image.
Any ideas? Any suggestions?
It's really important.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Saleem Mohammed,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
For the storage of image in database, I'm not sure that we can do that but for using the image from KM, I'll try it on a server which have a unique node.
When you say "read image from KM", you mean hardcode the KM image url, is that right?
For the http code error 503, I got it when using the code below :
com.lowagie.text.Image image = com.lowagie.text.Image.getInstance(url);
document.add(image);
The code I've mentionned in my previous post returned the error : java.awt.Image fetch aborted or errored
Again, thanks a lot for your help.
PS : I've assigned points

Not able to display a dynamic image

I'm not able to display a dynamic image on Adobe print form.
Here is what I did.
Please let me know what I need to do to get this working...
1. Created a Graphics node in the Context of the Adobe form.
2. In the URL tab of the graphics node defined the following two lines:
     <URL pointing to the MIME repository folder>
     IM_FILENAME_1
     Where IM_FILENAME_1 is being passed to the Adobeform function module.
3. In the Layout mode, dragged and dropped the Graphics node from the
    contenxt tab to the form layout. On doing so it appears as a image field in the form layout.
4. Activated the form.
BUT, when I run the form , the image is not showing up.
The idea is to pass the image file name to the form so that it will show up a dynamic image at run time.
PLEASE HELP.

Hi Atul,
Try this, that should work.
In the interface , define a parameter type string where you will store the URL of the image .
In the initialization part of the interface , check if the URL is defined, in case it's empty define a default URL . You should put the compelte URL of the image like "http://www.company.org:8080/logo.logo.jpg" .
Then link this parameter to the Grpahic Node in the URL parameters .
Let me know if that works

wdContext.currentDataSourceElement().setSapTravelRequestUrl(url);
where SapTravelRequestUrl is context attribute of type String,that is binded to your

Image URL

hi, I tried to use the 'Link File' in the layout model to create a dynamic URL link to image object, then Under the Link File Boilerplate node i did:
1 Set the Source File Format property to Image URL.
2 Set the Source Filename property to the URL (http://...)where the image is located with the required protocol.
then i run the report on the web, the URL shows up within link file box instead of showing the image object. Does any one know how to do that? please help me. Thanks.
Joe

Need a little more informaiton, but istead, please first check out the "Reports Advanced Web Publishing Demo" available for download in the Reports section on OTN (under Sample Code). This demo uses this feature and the source should help you out. If you just want to look at the RDF for image URL help you don't have to go through the setup instructions.

XML element in image URL

Hi All,
I used this to get dynamic URL resolution for logo on my report.
Simple url:{'http://localhost/logo.jpg'} works just fine for HTML output.
But once I use XML element for URL resolution it does nothing...
url:{concat('http://',FILE_PATH)} returns just 'http://' without value from FILE_PATH element.
Needles to say, that FILE_PATH element on report itself does the job and presents path to the image.
What I am doing wrong?
Thank you.

Have a look at this .
Re: problem with dynamic image
or
simple use
url:{concat('http://',.//FILE_PATH}

APEX - BI publisher dynamic image not shown

Hi,
I've developed a BI RTF report layout within my APEX application.
I need to show external dynamic images stored into apex image files, but I have some problem.
BI manul says I should include into the report layout a dummy image with the following text:
url:{IMAGE_LOCATION}
where IMAGE_LOCATION is an element of the XML file having the image url.
When I run the report the image is blank although the IMAGE_LOCATION has the right url.
I tried to add another image with alt text url:{'image url'} and it is correctly shown.
I'm shure that IMAGE_LOCATION is right, because it's also shown in report as text.
How can I resolve this?
Thx
Davide
