Images as Hyperlinks in webi reports

Hi,
I’m trying to link two webi reports (summary through Details) through Open doc syntax using Images in a cell.
We have a requirement to link two webi reports (summary through Detail) using buttons (like Back & email) as images which will be embedded in to the cell and made hyperlink.
I found many articles on "Hyper linking on the images" between 2 webi reports (summary to detail) using open doc syntax which did not help much. So I am starting a new thread.
I’ve 2 scenarios happening, after the images being placed on the server - (…/usr/bobj/<installation Directory>/enterprise/images) –
1st Scenario – Right click on the cell contents, make it read as “hyperlink” and set appearance to “boimg://image-name.png”
Result: Image appears and there is no link. Cursor does not changes or no place to click.
2nd Scenario – Read the image directly into Ahref tag as - <img src=\” boimg://image-name.png\”>
Result: The link works perfectly fine. But, in the image place holder, a big “RED X” appears.
The steps -
- Placed a blank cell
- Right click -> Appearance -> Image from Address: boimg://image-name.png
- Read contents as "Hyperlink" (at this point, tested the cell, image appears fine, but no link appears!)
- Right Click on the same cell -> Document Link -> pass the values of the related objects -> Parse
- Also Include the <img src=\” boimg://image-name.png\”> in the AHref tag generated by the system after open doc call
- In the cell, both the image and the big RED X appears - image does not have a link and the big red X has link but no image. So basically nothing works!
We are on BO 4.1 SP1.
Experts please help!

Hi Fahid,
You can try the below steps which are pretty simple. It worked fine for me. For this I used an image object placed in ROOT directory of a web application server.
1.
Add a blank cell
2.
Right-click on the blank cell and select “Format cell”
3.
Under “General” specify Read content as “Hyperlink”
4.
Apply >> OK
5.
Right click on the cell >> "Edit Formula" >> Use the following formula
="<html><a href='http://localhost:8080' target='_blank'><img src = 'http://localhost:8080/sample.png' /></a></html>"
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Niraj

How can we hyperlink a WEBI report to a .PDF or .DOC in any location?

Hi All,
I have a WEBI report which has a column called Country(Values US, UK). I have some .pdf files in my local machine and BOE server. Could anyone let me know how can I hyperlink the report to the .pdf in my local machine and in the server. There are two cases as below as questions to be answered.
Case 1
When I click on country column, a single .pdf file should open irrespective of the column values in my local machine/server
Case 2
When I click on country column, a .pdf file should open with respect to the column values in my local machine/server
I would be grateful if it is answered asap.
Thanks and Regrads

Images displaying haphazardly in WebI report

Hi,
We are currently working on BI 4.0 SP5 Patch 3.
I am having an issue in the images that are being displayed in my report.
I have a report that displays a company logo on the top left corner(say, Company - "ABC"). Below that I have 1 table and a couple of images(circle and rectangle).
Following are my observations.
When I, :
1. View the report in Launch Pad: - In the Header of the table I can see the "ABC" logo, which shudn't be there. - In the circle and rectangle also, I can see the "ABC" logo, instead of the circle and rectangle image. I checked the properties and in the appearance I donot see any image of "ABC" added in the cells.
2. Export report in Excel/PDF after Viewing: The Header of the table and the images are displaying fine.
3. Open in WebI Rich Client: The Header of the table and the images are displaying fine.
4. Scheduling the report: The Header of the table and the images are displaying fine.
I donot see where the error might be. Require your help.
Thanks,
Amrita

Hi Amrita,
check the WebIDefaultStyleSheet.css file located under c:\program files\sap businessobjects\sap businessobjects enterprise xi 4.0\images. This is located on the application server.
If this doesnt fix the issue, then I need to ask you few questions:
1- how many nodes are there in your environment?
2- which tool did you use to write the report (rich client, or webi)?
3- do you see this image when you open existing reports too or is it just with the new reports?

Images are displaying in web report

Hi.
I am having a webreport,when i try to open that web report in my gateway it is nit displaying images.
I am able to 'x' mark in the place of image and unable to do drill down,
Please advice me on the sane.
Thanks,
Guna

Hi Gunasekhar,
You might have just added URL in "Choose Screen" window.
If you add URL here means you should be connected to Internet everytime you execute your Web template or if you have given a path in your system where the image is present, the image should be present in the similar path in other system too to make the Web template execute and to display the image through webb template.
If you want to display the image everytime you execute your template, you need to upload the image in MIME repository... Tcode : SE80.
To import a number of MIME objects into the MIME Repository using the MIME Repository Browser:
       1.      Start the browser of the MIME Repository. (SE80)
The browser is displayed. It overwrites the navigation area (left-hand side).
       2.      Expand the Repositorys hierarchy and select the "BEx" folder.
       3.      Choose Import --> MIME-Objects from the context menu.
       4.      Select a MIME object from the file structure on your local hard disk of your computer.
       5.      Enter the MIME attributes and choose Save.
Since the object is imported into the SAP System, the dialog box Create Object Directory Entry is displayed.
       6.      Assign a package to the MIME object and choose Save.
Now give the path of the MIME repository in the Menu --> Insert --> Picture... --> Choose Screen --> URL...
Give below path in the URL space provided there.
/sap/bw/Mime/BEx/Icons/XXX.jpg
This uses the image present in BW so you will not get "X" mark whenever you execute your report anywhere.

KK.

How to open hyperlink(target Webi report) in new tab in BOXI3.1

Hi all,
Currently we are using report link using hyperlink syntax between summary report and transaction report.
We were able to open transaction report either new window or same window.
*"<a href="http://<servername>:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid;iDocID=108&sWindow=New&lsSEnterJOBID:="UserResponse([Query 1];"Enter JOBID:")"&lsSEnterAccount:="URLEncode([Account]) ">"[Description]"</a> * "
Summary report(Source report) is having one parameter: JOBID
Transaction report(Target report) is has two parameters: JOBID and Account
Now our client requirement is target report needs to be shown in same window but in new tab.
Is it posssible in BOXI3.1,if yes kindly provide me syntax.
Thanks in advance,
Subash

Webi Reports Hyperlinks on top of OLAP Universe

Hi Webi Gurus,
my BoBJ version 3.1 sp3
BW-OLAP universe.
I checked below Link for the solution, but couldn't
get answer, as these are based on relational universes.
/people/erika.atencio2/blog/2011/04/14/creating-hyperlinks-between-webi-reports-in-infoview
I have a OLAP universe. On top of it, there are two reports
One parent report and one child report.
Question: I have a column called Auction Id on parent report.
Now, when I click on any of the Auction Id values, child report
should only bring data for that Auction Id alone and not other Auction Ids.
In the child report, I have Auction Id as query filter.
Now while in Webi's Interactive Mode, I chose the option
Select Column--> Create Hyperlink --> Link to a document -->
Document prompts: Prompt User in runtime.
This option works fine.
However, when I change the Document Prompt to:
Select Object (or) Build Formula
report throws MDX error, during run-time,
Please suggest.
MDX error:
========================================================================
The query failed to execute with the error Value for the Characteristic.....WIS 10901
==================================================================================
Regards,
AK

Still getting error...I tried this
>> 1. In the detail webi report, create a query filter for AuctionID and use Equal operator. Give the prompt text as ActionID.
AK: Done
>> 3. In the column properties, in the display section select display cell content as HTML.
AK: Done
When I provide the URL and Parse it throws following error.
"Invalid identifier a at position 15. (WIS 10022) "
I gave following URL and parsed it.
="<a href="http://sapbojdev:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?
iDocID=18774&lsSAuction ID="URLEncode([Auction ID])"&sRefresh=Y
Q: Is there any problem with syntax?
Q: Secondly, for OLAP universe based webi report , can't we use the hyperlink option:
Link to Document
Thanks,
AK

Characteristic values as hyperlinks in a web report

Hi All
I have a web report with only one characteristic and some key figures. And the number of values for that characteristics are 5 and they are always fixed (structure). In my report I need to make each of that characteristic value a hyper link. I have 5 separate reports which should be linked to these 5 characteristic values.
I think this can be achieved by using a table interface. If yes, could any one please provide me with the code for the method CHARACTERISTIC_CELL in the ABAP class?
Or, is there any other better solution?
Points will be assigned!
Thank you

Webi Report as a Hyperlink

Hi
Is there anyway I can execute a Webi report outside the infoview using a hyperlink? My requirement to put a Webi report in CRM Web UI. If I can get a URL for the Webi report it can be achived.
Thanks in advance
Nisha

Hi Ramaks, George and other experts,
Thanks a lot for your replies.
For my client, the developers will build most of the reports for regular users to view. However, some power users may also create their own reports to meet ad-hoc reporting requirements.
It's quite unlikely for my client to develop reports based on Excel or CSV data files. And we need to use features such as hyperlink for documents (which is not available in Rich Client). Based on these considerations, I'm thinking of doing all development in InfoView (both developers and power users). Do you foresee any issue if I go for this approach?
Thanks in advance.

Change of image in web reports (MIME repository : SE80)

Hello,
i want to replace company logo in web reports.
i have changed the logo (image) through MIME repository in SE80 transaction, but i am unable to see the unchanged logo on portal/web reports.
What can be the issue. Is there any setting anywhere that needs to be done?
Thanks,
Shweta.

Hi,
Please check the Image name like
supported ex:
   "company_logo.jpg"
Not supported Example:
   "company logo.jpg"
   "company_logo.JPG"
   "Company_Logo.Jpg"
Concerning the missing images in the WAD please check, if the images
are available in the Mime Repository:
Transaction SE80 -> MIME Repository -> SAP -> BW -> BEx ->
Publisher -> GIFS -> WebItem_Previews -> e.g. "broadcast_prev.gif"

Adding an image (logo) to webi report

Seeking if possible to add an image (logo.jpg) to a webi report, as how to achieve this. thanks !!!!

Hi Barry,
The image inserted must be in either Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) or Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format.
GIF format supports 256 colors and is useful if a logo or icon is to be inserted in to the document. It allows for background transparency so that the underlying color of the web page can show through. This is useful when inserting an image in a cell that contains data.
JPEG supports 16 million colors. It is best suited for photographs and complex graphics. JPEG images are static whereas GIF images can be animated.
Image files are often located on a secured web server on a corporate network. To insert an image in a report, link a selected area of the report to an image file on the web server either by filename or by URL and filename.
To solve the above issue follow the below steps:
To link to the images by filename, type the filename in to the cell (for example, <INSTALL DIR>\Images). WebIntelligence automatically adds boimg:// before the filename. This links to the file on the BusinessObjects server (for example: boimg://image.gif).
Usie the URL and the filename to insert the image when the image files are located on a separate web server. The entire URL and filename is entered in to the cell (for example, http://www.internal.businesscompany.com/images/company_logo.jpg).
The image"s size is defined when it is created. The size can not be modified using WebIntelligence.
Hope this helps.

Populating webi reports with images downloaded live from external sites

I'm writing applications to create different visualizations of my data, and would like the resulting images to show up in webi reports. Specifically, the application that draws the visualization will be deployed to the same java application server as webi. Users will open a normal webi report which will contain something like an HTML <img href="#myhref" /> tag, where #myhref will be a link to a page in my web application that draws a visualization.; Is such a thing possible, and if so, how? Many thanks, in advance.

Nevermind... I think I got it. I created a SQL query that would return the URL I wanted (something like SELECT 'http://server/context?param1=' || field1 || '&param2=' || field2 FROM table", and then modified the resulting cell to be read as an Image URL.
