How to display a BLOB (Image) in a EBS Report?

User requested to add a Logo image to a report which is called from E-Business Suite (EBS).
The image is currently stores in a BLOB column.
How can I make the image to display on the report?
Thanks!

I was trying to use the BLOB and display the image in a report.
Per your suggestion:
"Select the column in your query.
Create an item in the layout editor and set the source to this column.
Set File Format to Image."
My question was I dont know how to "set the source to this column" as you described above.
So, to work around it, I moved the image file phyically to the UNIX file system.
Then, created an item in the layout editor which required a valid "image file path" the property palette.
Since, the report was created under windows, it did not validate with UNIX file path.
That's why i need to perform extra steps to get the file path correct to work in UNIX.
EDIT:
I guess when you said "set the source to this column", you mean to map the "Field source" attribute in the property palette to the database column from query.
But depends on what item you want me to create (I created a "Link File" item) and it does not have the "Field source" attribute available to map to a database column.

How to print a BLOB (image) on a PDF report using Oracle APEX Listener as Print Server

Hi,
I use APEX 4.2.
I have the following query as SQL text for a Report Queries in Shared Components:

I am unable to have the image printed on the PDF report. Even when the P22_CUSTOMER_IMAGE is defined as session state item.
Does someone knows how to print such image/BLOB in a PDF report?
Thanks by advance.
Kind Regards.

Hi,
Indeed, I would need a custom layout.
Unfortunately, it seems (according to this white paper) not possible with the APEX listener only. I would need a third pary tool. A pity...
For me strange, that I cannot generate such a report having images or pictures in a pre-definied report layout... Maybe a future enahancement for Oracle.
Kind Regards.

How do I display blob (image) in a Portal Report

I am using 9ias 10222 and portal 30983 and I have a table that stores an image as a blob and have a varchar field to store the mime type. I have created a form to upload the image and can then query the form to display the image.
How do I dislay the image in a Portal Report/Dynamic Page Component. I have followed note 68016.1 but the retrieve_img_data procedure does not work it gives a wwv-11230 error.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Can you display what code you used for this? I followed note 172045.1 and everything compiles properly but when I run the report, I just get a box with a red X in it, like it is not finding the picture. I ran the procedure that downloads the image and it works fine from there. Thanks.

I need to display my Blob image in my report (and also on form page)

Scott,
I followed the APEX advanced tutorial for uploading and downloading files. I have created a form on a table and that table contains a column of datatype BLOB. Now I want to be able to display the (Blob) images that I have uploaded.
As I research the topic, I get the feeling that displaying the BLOB image can only be done in APEX 3.1 and up. Is this true? I have that version of APEX installed on my laptop and have successfully completed the "Defining and Viewing BLOB Data in Oracle Application Express 3.1" tutorial found here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
But I could not do it on the company server that runs APEX 3.0
Even if I did get the approval to have the company APEX application upgraded to 3.1, there still is the issue of scaling the images so that they are not so large. I understand that there is a UTIL.APEX function "GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC" that would do this for me. I read the documentation at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10499/api.htm#CHDICGDA
After reading it, I was still not clear as to how to use it correctly. Is there any documentation on how to implement this function in APEX?
I did find something that I was hoping would help me. The article is entitled "Show Blob of other table in APEX Form" by Dimitri Gielis can be found here: http://dgielis.blogspot.com/2008/07/show-blob-of-other-table-in-apex-form.html
I tried to import the file "blob_support.sql" application (on both APEX 3.0 and APEX 3.1 systems) but got errors. I'm not having very much luck here and would appreciate the help in pointing me in the correct direction.
Help!!
Thanks

Hello John,
Your information was helpful. I can now see my images in my form.
OK, now I would like to be able to call the image using a Region Source of type SQL instead of the HTML Expression. The reason for this is because I need to use logic to determine if the file is an image or not and to determine wether to show a thumbnail or just a link. I did find a "GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC" Function on the internet that suggests that I could do this but I need some help in making it work in my application.
Here it is as a Region Source of type SQL:
SELECT ID,
NAME,
CASE WHEN NVL(dbms_lob.getlength(document),0) = 0
THEN NULL
ELSE CASE WHEN attach_mimetype like 'image%'
THEN '<img
src="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P4_DOCUMENT',id)||'" />'
ELSE '<a
href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P4_DOCUMENT',id)||'">Download</a>'
end
END new_img
FROM TEST_WITH_BLOB
If anyone can help me with this that would be appreciated.
Thanks

How to display multi-channel image in the 'proxy'?

There're many examples to show how to display composite channels in the 'proxy'. But I don't find any example to show how to display multi-channel image in the 'proxy'. I found that I can use PSPixelOverlay to display alpha channel data like this:
int nSpotChannel = gChannelCount - 4;
PSPixelOverlay* overlay = new PSPixelOverlay[nSpotChannel];
for(int i = 0; i < nSpotChannel; i++){
 if( i != (nSpotChannel - 1) )
 overlay[i].next = overlay + i + 1;
 else
 overlay[i].next = NULL;
 overlay[i].data = gChannelData + (4 + i) * nPlaneBytes;
 overlay[i].rowBytes = gProxyRect.Width() * gDocDesc->depth / 8;
 overlay[i].colBytes = 1;
 overlay[i].r = 230;
 overlay[i].g = 161;
 overlay[i].b = 174;
 overlay[i].opacity = 255;
 overlay[i].overlayAlgorithm = kStandardAlphaOverlay;
pixels.pixelOverlays = overlay;
Then, Seeing red part, it will trigger a new problem, that is how to get the color value of the alpha channel by plung-in itself? It seems that no channel color value info is in FilterRecord.
If you have other solution, please tell me. Many thanks!

This is what I've been doing - was just curious if there was a way to see a more cohesive image.
If the individual EQ plugins are in fact the answer, is there any way to smooth how the Analyzer displays? The image I posted above, all of the tonal curves are very smooth. The analyzer tool shows a lot of peaks and valleys within the overall curve and it's hard to pinpoint each instrument's "sweet spot." Vocals for example are very hard to spot.

How to display every other images in image indicator

Hi All,
I am using IMAQ to grab and save high freq and high resolution images. I have an image indicator directly from "Image Grab Acquire". So, the image indicator is displaying every single images at a very high frequency too. We have to display frames, but not necessarily every single one (enough so the operator can see what's going on). So, I am wondering how I can display, say every other images (such as all odd/even number of images), or jump over two and display the third?
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks!
Wenlong
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here are some general comments.
Image acquisition is "a horse of a different color" -- unlike many other I/O devices, the memory that holds the data (here called the "buffer") is managed by the driver, and isn't directly available to LabVIEW.
I'm guessing that you are using NI Video hardware, as you are using IMAQ functions (I've only used IMAQdx). Is this true? What camera are you using?
The IMAQ Extract Buffer (probably) "clocks" itself to the camera (I say "probably" because I don't know the hardware you are using). This means that the While loop containing it will run at the frame rate of the camera (hence you can easily calculate the frame rate, as your code shows).
This looks like an NI Demo routine, so I'm guessing that you don't have a lot of experience with Vision processing. If you've got a lot of other LabVIEW experience, you should be able to make the leap to vision, once you get the idea of how buffers work. Unfortunately, there's not as much in the way of tutorials and white papers on Vision as on other LabVIEW topics.
So to your question -- how to display every Nth image. Here's the key loop (which is lifted directly from your code):
As menioned above, this routine is "clocked" by the Extract Buffer function. What you do to display every N'th image is to put the Image control inside something like a Case statement that "fires" every Nth time.
Here's an "Nth" version of the above loop (some details omitted) --
We still drive the loop filling every buffer with a frame. But we then use the Integer Divide function to select the Nth image (those that have a remainder of 0 when i is divided by Nth) and wire the "image" line (it doesn't really hold an image) to the "Image" control, with the other case being "Default" (so all other valeus go there) and with nothing inside. Thus every Nth time through this loop, the output of Extract Buffer is wire to an Image (and displayed), the other N-1 times the wire goes nowhere.

As far as i know you can't do this,the option you have is to create one more column (subtotal) and populate it by manual calculation at every subtotal (not alv subtotal but yours) .

You can call a transaction and pass it a BDC table that tells it where you want it to go. You have to work out for yourself what to put into the BDC table. The code below works for tcode CATSSHOW.
DATA: bdcdata_wa TYPE bdcdata,
      bdcdata_tab TYPE TABLE OF bdcdata.
DATA opt TYPE ctu_params.
   CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
    bdcdata_wa-program = 'CATSSHOW'.
    bdcdata_wa-dynpro   = '1000'.
    bdcdata_wa-dynbegin = 'X'.
    APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
    CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
    bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'SO_STATU-LOW'.
    bdcdata_wa-fval = '20'.
    APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
    CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
    bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'ANDZEIT'.
    bdcdata_wa-fval = SPACE.
    APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
    CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
    bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'PAST'.
    bdcdata_wa-fval = 'X'.
    APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
    IF p_selscr = SPACE.
       CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
       bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'BDC_OKCODE'.

How to display a blob as an image

I am working on an application which stores images in a database as blobs. I need to extract these images and display them from a web page. How do I go about this using JSP or JSF?
Werner

Thanks for the quick response, matlas. I should have included more info in my original post. I am familiar with reading/writing blobs from the database. The part I am stuck on is how does the java servlet return the blob (dPhoto below), to the web page?
i.e. from <img src="employeePhoto.jsp&empId=123">
ImageIcon dPhoto = null;
// open connection
Connection photoConnection = startup.openSQLConnection(SQLDriver, SQLConnectionString);
// setup select string
String sqlStatement = "select Binary_Photo from employeephoto where Employee_ID = '"+employeeID+"'";
try {
// perform select
ResultSet rs = photoConnection.createStatement().executeQuery(sqlStatement);
// if record found process blob
if (rs.next()) {
// get blob
Blob image = rs.getBlob("Binary_Photo");
// setup the streams to process blob
InputStream input = image.getBinaryStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// set read buffer size
byte[] rb = new byte[1024];
int ch = 0;
// process blob
while ((ch=input.read(rb)) != -1) {
output.write(rb, 0, ch);
// transfer to byte buffer
byte[] b = output.toByteArray();
input.close();
output.close();
// load final buffer to image icon
dPhoto = new ImageIcon(b);
catch (Exception exc) {/ do your exception processing}
// close connection
startup.closeSQLConnection(photoConnection);
// dPhoto holds image or is null at this point.

Display BLOB (image) column in (interactive) report

Hi,
I have a field called "picture" in my table "details" which is of type BLOB. i also have a field for "MIMETYPE" and "filename"
i additionally have a "name" and "description" columns which i need to display along with the picture as columns in a report (preferably interactive).
i have also modified the BLOB display format as per
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
what i am missing is the correct query. if possible, i would like to control the size of the picture rendered within the report like say 40*50.
I have also referred to the thread
APEX 3.1 Display BLOB Image
But i don't know how to place the
dbms_lob.getlength("BLOB_CONTENT") as "BLOB_CONTENT"
in my query.
The above also makes the report column as of type "number". is this expected?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Ramakrishnan

You haven't actually said what the problem is?

Something like:

 name
 , description
 , dbms_lob.getlength(picture) picture
from
 details
if possible, i would like to control the size of the picture rendered within the report like say 40*50.For images close to this size it's easy to do this for declarative BLOB images in interactive reports using CSS. Add a style sheet with:
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="PICTURE"] img {
display: block;
width: 40px;
border: 1px solid #999;
padding: 4px;
background: #f6f6f6;
}where the <tt>PICTURE</tt> value in the attribute selector is the table header ID of the image column. Setting only one dimension (in this case the width) scales the image with the correct aspect ratio. (The border, padding and background properties are just eye candy...)
However, scaling large images in the browser this way is a huge waste of bandwidth and produces poorer quality images than creating proper scaled down versions using image tools. For improved performance and image quality, and where you require image-specific scaling you can use the database ORDImage object to produce thumbnail and preview versions automatically, as described in this blog post.
