Embedding Graphics in Reports

I have a report in which I would like to embed a graph. I used the chart wizard in the report builder to design the graph with the data I want to see. When I run the report though, it gives me a "rep-1246: chart document not found." I presume that this means I need to physically save the graphics display. But how do I do this without using Oracle Graphics?
I appreciate any help.

I have no clue what you have downloaded. That file could be just anything. What do I know? Please specify where you downloaded it from, give us the URL, but not the URL that points directly to the tar file.

HELP ME! Embedding Graphics in Reports.

I am trying to embed an Oracle Graph (from Graphics) in a report, but when I try to run the report I get a REP-0075 error followed by an OG-01603 "Unable to create PL/SQL Development Environment Context" Error. Then when I click OK, I get another error window that has a REP-0619 "You cannot run without a layout" error. I'm stumped. I the code for the OG error says that its an abnormal condition and I should call Oracle support. Is this so? If anyone else has experienced this, please let me know how, and if, you fixed it (even if by email).
Thanks,
Paul

Freehand could do it. InDesign can do it now. Sadly, Illustrator can't, and never could.

Embedded Graphics do not show in Links Panel?

I'm guessing this is an embedded graphic. I received a packaged file for print, all is fine, but I'm pondering the "image" shown. (I was curious how they formatted the rules and type and started selecting)
After removing everything else from the document, Find Font show no fonts used; the links panel is empty; info for the frame lists nothing; it is not outlined type. One layer; show hidden characters is on.
The file package report lists Links and Images: 1 link (a stock photo used on page 1), 0 missing, 0 embedded.

I've been playing with building my own "Info" panel. It isn't as pretty as the built-in one, but it gives me better "raw" file format information in some cases. It would be interesting to see what it reports as the object type, if you want to send me your doc ...

Transparent graphics in reports

Hello,
Im embedding graphics (OGD files from graphics builder) into reports (RPT files) to view it from the web.
In design time I can set the graphic transparent but when I publish it to the web the gif becomes opaque.
Is there any issue about how to make this gif transparent?

hello,
graphics is not capable of creating gif89a images which would be required to make the background transparent.

In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File

Post Author: bhaveshbusa
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File. When the application calls ReportDocument.Load(reportFileName). This
tries to connect to the database using the connection information embedded in
the "reportFileName". This was only realised on checking the ODBC Trace
Log. The connection itself is not a problem. The problem is that the embedded
connection information is related to OLD production system. And failed
connections had raised some concerns.
Note: I am using
SetDataSource to populate the data for the report. So I don't need the
connection.
Is there any way I
can disable this auto-connect?
Thanks and
regards,

I need a help in answering one of the issue encountered last week.
I have created a database link and tried to access the information from a table using the program written in another language. The password provided was incorrect for that user while creating database link. So we expected that,while retrieving the data, Database connection has to be errored out as password provided is incorrrect.
But unfortunately, user account was locked out. When i checked with DBAs they mentioned that it tries to connect 16 ports with in a min of time.we were shocked as it STOPS another scheduled jobs with that user. and affects production badly.
As per the program, it has to connect only one time and yesterday we tried to execute the program in DBAs observation and it errored out as expected. Didn't tried for multiple ports.
Now the question is, WHY the database connection established 16 times last week and caused user account locked. DBAs are unable to answer it. Any EXPERTs opinion on this would greatly appreciated.
I have verified managing ports in oracle documentation, it was mentioned that if one port is busy it will try to connect to another port in the range of ports mentioned during the installtion. DBAs verified ports related file and it was blank. and they are not agreeing with this reason. Please HELP me in finding the correct REASON for this.
is it a NETWORK issue or issue with DATABASE SERVER only?
Thanks

When I forward an HTML email with embedded graphics to someone, it forwards it as plain text.. this is driving me batty.. how do I forward such mails INTACT??

I have the latest Thunderbird installed on a new 64-bit Winblows Eight netbook.. fantastic program, but one problem is driving me absolutely batty, and after using the latest Thunderbird for weeks, I simply can't figure out how to fix it..
I'm on a lot of mfr. and other kinds of mailing lists, like eBay watch list alerts, and so on.. these are not s p a m (although I get plenty of that.. who doesn't).. but lists I WANT to be on..
Many such emails from those mailing lists are in HTML format with embedded graphics.. I'm not talking about graphic file attachments, but embedded graphics which are coming from the senders' servers, and appear AS a graphic in the email.. sometimes such emails are one huge graphic with hardly any text.. all well and good..
However, here's the problem.. when I want to forward such an email to a friend, Thunderbird ALWAYS formats it as plain ASCII text.. I know this because I look in the "sent mail" folder, and can see that it has turned an HTML email with embedded graphics into plain ASCII text..
I absolutely can't figure out how to get it to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT, so the sender receives it looking the way it looks when I receive it from a mailing list, or an advertiser, or eBay, or whoever..
Is Thunderbird capable of forwarding an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT?.. If so, how / where do I turn on that capability?..
If the capability to do this isn't built into the program, is there an add-on I can install that will give it that ability?..
I am not new to computers.. but this really has me stumped.. I want to put Thunderbird on my 32-bit Vista laptop and stop using its horrible "Windoze Mail" program, which I've been using for years, and is slower than snot, and has all kinds of other problems..
So, assuming whoever reads this FULLY understands my question, PLEASE tell me how to get Thunderbird to have the ability to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics AS-IS, so the receiver(s) I forward it to see it exactly the way I see it when I receive it.. if that ability is built in, please tell me how to turn it on.. if that ability is not built-in, please tell me what add-on I need to install to give Thunderbird this capability.. if Thunderbird absolutely can't forward an HTML email with embedded graphics at all, please also tell me that..
A virtual box of candy and a dozen long-stemmed roses to anyone who can give me a solution that works..
Thanks..

Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
Thanks again..

Color of embedded graphic different in Adobe Reader 9?

Hello,
I have a cross-platform and cross-version issue that I am hoping that this is the right place to get get some insight on. I normally do most of my work on a Mac (OS X 10.5.4 PPC), and created a document in Microsoft Word 2008 (w/latest patches) that has one embedded graphic, a custom black horizontal line that I designed myself as a PNG with some alpha transparency. When I print the document to PDF, either using the built-in renderer or the Acrobat 8 PDF printer installed on the machine, I am able to open the resulting PDF in either Preview or Acrobat 8.1.2 on the same computer and it looks as expected.
However, if I take it over to my PC running Vista SP1 (w/latest patches) and open up the PDF in Acrobat Reader 9.0, the color of the embedded graphic is different, a kind of orange-y brown which looks really horrible; it is as if the normally grayscale embedded image has been tinted. The text of the document remains black, it is only the embedded image that has had its color changed. If I open the Word document on the PC in Word 2007 (again, w/latest patches), however, the embedded graphic looks grayscale, as expected.
I have tried a few things such as specifying the image format as grayscale within Word 2008 before printing to PDF, converting the PNG into GIF with Photoshop CS3 on the Mac (which shows it as grayscale) and re-embedding it and printing to PDF/X instead of PDF, but none of these seem to make any difference.
Unfortunately I don't have access to Acrobat Pro 9.0 for the Mac or Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 for the PC so I cannot tell if it's the switch between platforms or between versions that lies behind the issue, but does anybody have any ideas on how to make it look the same across platforms?
Thanks,
A

There's not really anything you can do with just Reader. The creator of the form set it up to behave this way, by intention or not. It could have been set up so that a user is unable to enter more text than can be displayed in the area defined for the field, and that the font size would automatically decrease as the limit is reached, down to a minimum size of 4. If you know who created the form, you may be able to request a new version.

Can the XML style sheet be embedded in the report file?

My customer would like to be able to share test reports with several locations. The problem is that sending just the XML report file is not enough. The report file points to a style sheet that must exist at the specified path on the destination PC. It creates problems when one simply wants to email over a test report. I have customized the style sheet slightly to make things easier to read. So, can I embed my custom style sheet in each report file?
Thanks,

Hi,
The XML style sheet should not be embedded into the report file. Since XML would represent raw data, you would not include information on how to interpret it. However, there is a way for you to easily reference your style sheet, even when it is on another computer.
1) Go to Configure >> Report Options in TestStand, and change the style sheet file to your style sheet.
2) Uncheck the "Store Absolute File Path" box.
3) Make sure the style sheet is in the same folder as your report.
You can view this on any computer, and now a relative path is now being used to reference the file.

Extracting embedded graphics

I've inherited a bunch of FrameMaker files where all the graphics were embedded in the document rather than imported by reference. When I right click on a graphic and select Object Properties, of course it says, "Referenced File: No File."
Is there any way I can do some sort of global redirect to have them all go to a graphics folder to reference the graphic rather than embedding them? Or am I just hosed?
Since I don't know the file names, I'd have to hunt through the gazillion graphics folders until I found the right graphics to re-import (by reference, of course) -- in a 300 page document! GAH!
Here's what I've tried: running a List Of...References, a List of Figures, Bruce Foster's Archive, swearing at the previous people who did this (and who aren't here anymore) -- all to no avail!
Any help and/or advice (other than "turn around and run as fast as you can...") would be greatly appreciated.

How do I change EMBEDDED graphics to LINKED?

I have a number of embedded graphics in my document. It appears that to change them with XML, they need to be LINKED instead. I've looked everywhere, and I can't find a way to do that. The Help says you can convert from one to the other through the Links panel, but I don't see anything.

Thanks, Larry. I don't see anything like that, but I found another way to do it.
Also, for anyone else working with XML--it apparently is not necessary that the images to be replaced are linked. I was able to replace embedded images just fine once I got the syntax right.
The correct syntax is:
where "tagname" is the name of the tag assigned to the frame in InDesign, and "filespec" is the full path and filename of the image file.

Reports 2.5 with embedded graphics

When I run the report, the report server and graphic server automatically start. If I passe the parameter Oracle_Shutdown, the report server shutdown when the report close, but the graphic server will stay active. How can I shutdown the graphic server.

I have been searching for an answer for your question as well.
what is the code for shutting down the report server?
thanks

Ssrs 2008 r2 or ssrs 2012 place moving graphics in report while it is executing

In a new ssrs 2008 r2 or ssrs 2012 report application, I want to add some graphics to
the report(s). I know that you can embedded a graphic in the ssrs report. However I would like to be able to do one or more of the items I am listing below:
1. In one or two spots, I would like to have the pictures change. The picture would display for 5 to 60 seconds and then a new graphic would show up.
2. I would like the possibility of one graphic being displayed while the entire ssrs report is executing. The next time the report is executing, a new graphic would be displayed.
3. I would like a 'slideshow' of graphics being displayed. The slideshow would be dsiplayed in in the same sequence.
4. I would like to obtain the graphics from an open show (free) location for a non profit public school system.
Thus can you tell me if any of the options I listed above are possibly? If so, can you tell me what option I can embed in a report and how to accomplish the goal in the ssrs report?
Also if you have any other ideas about graphics in the report, can you tell me what thse option(s) are and how would I accomplish this goal?

Hi wendy,
In Reporting Services, if we want to only display one graphic in some time, and display other graphics in other times in a report. So that the all graphics are alternatively displayed in the report. In this scenario, we can set the AutoRefresh property of
the report to x number of seconds for the changes to occur, then set the visibility property of graphics based on AutoRefresh length we have set. For more details, please see the steps below:
Set the AutoRefresh property of the report to 15 seconds (supposing there are 4 graphics in the report (60/4=15)).
Insert all graphics in the report.
Use the following expressions to control the visibility of graphics.
Graphic 1:=IIf(Second(Now()) < 15, False, True) the first graphic will show if the AutoRefresh occurred during the first 15 second block of the current minute, all other times during that minute it will be hidden.
Graphic 2:=IIf(Second(Now()) >= 15 AND Second(Now()) < 30, False, True) the second graphic will show if the AutoRefresh occurred during the second 15 second block of the current minute, all other times during that minute it will
be hidden.
Graphic 3:=IIf(Second(Now()) >= 30 AND Second(Now()) < 45, False, True) the third graphic will will show if the AutoRefresh occurred during the third 15 second block of the current minute, all other times during that minute it will
be hidden.
Graphic 4:=IIf(Second(Now()) >= 45, False, True) the fourth graphic will show if the AutoRefresh occurred during the fourth 15 second block of the current minute, all other times during that minute it will be hidden.
Besides, we cannot display the image with dynamic form by using External Image Option, it will be replaced with static form. So if we want to show slideshow in the report, we can also refer to the following thread:

How to send HTML emails with embedded graphics?

I've discovered Mail is great for sending HTML if you open it in Safari and select "Mail Contents of this Page" - - My problem is, I need to include the graphic elements as embedded images rather than hosted images.
Is there any way to do this with Mail.app?
Can I somehow modify my HTML image references to make this happen?
Is there another Mac application recommended to do this?

The best thing I've tried is Max Bulk Mailer. Do a search for it on VersionTracker. It's about $50. or so.
If you're just looking to send one offs, you can do it with a hotmail account - just make sure you pull out the doctype tag (you should do this for any html email).

How pass parameter from Form to Graphics through Report?

I wrote a Report called by a Form and pass a parameter from the
Form to the Report, successfully! But I imported a Graphic in
the Report, and the Graphic could not get the parameter...(the
parameter in the Report and Graphic should both pass from the
Form).
I call the Report by " Run_Product( REPORTS, :V_PRTNAME,
SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id,NULL); " in the Form.
and I imported the image from file for the Graphic in the Report.
Thanks for your help!

Stored procedure embedded in cyrstal report vs universes

Hi,
I have .NEt application that is rendering reports from BOE. BOE has these crystal report stored in its repository. Currently I have the definition of the stored procedure on which to retrieve data for the report embedded in the crystal report template. Would like to know if it will be better to have a universe defined in CMC for the stored procedure and base the crystal report on the universe? Performance wise which option will be better.
How to base a universe on the outcome of an oracle stored procedure?
Thanks
Kajal

This question would be better asked in the crystal report design forum as the performance of the report in the designer will be generally the same performance you will see in your application.
Unless you are intending on manipulating the data or adding some additional row level security, I would expect you are better off reporting directly off the stored procedure as the Universe would only be adding an additional layer where you are not using any additional functionality.
