Images in a report column

Hi,
I'm working with obiee 11.1.1.6.1 and I need to add images in a report column.
I tried to follow the advices of Gerard for formulas as in
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/image
but I don't see the images. I used the formula
'<img src="dir/dir/.../myimage.gif">' with data format HTML.
What wrong? Thank for your help.

Hi,
Please refer this link.
I guess you have to place image into two location. Please refer the location path the below link then try to use same syntax

Background image on Interactive report column

Hi,
I have had a request from a customer with regards to displaying a background image behind a column on an interactive report.
The interactive report is used to show notes added for an individual in the application.
They want to display a note image behind the text to make the note stand out better.
Is it possible to add a background image to the each cell in the interactive report
Thanks

Ascending & Descending images when sorting report columns...

Hi guys,
Have you ever tried changing sorting images to custom ones? I've tried with no result..replacing theme images doesn't work..Have no idea what to do..Please help.
With regards,
PsmakR

In this example:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:1
Report on Departments
is using a different image than standard and it works. It will pull the images from the /i/ directory so I don't think you can specify #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# there. However, you can specify a subdirectory within /i/ like this:
/menu/rup_plus_dgray_16x16.gif
/menu/rup_minus_dgray_16x16.gif
and it will work.

Resizing an image in Interactive report

Hi All,
I have a report showing number of columns one of which is BLOB image. Problem is when massive, the row can take well over half the screen.
With firebug, I found that if I tweak add style attribute to IMG, (style="WIDTH:200PX;") then I can resize it.
However I am not loss where to insert this. There is nothing in the column attribute of the Image column in interactive report that allows me for this.
Would be grateful if someone can share a tip on how to resize image displaying on interactive report.
Thanks.

Using Dynamic Images in PDF Reports

There are a number of threads in the forum where we talked about dynamically including images in PDF reports before. In order to illustrate one technique you can use for doing this, I put together a sample application that illustrates how to dynamically include images that are stored in BLOB columns. I installed the application on apex.oracle.com and made it available for download and local install. You can find the link and login information for this application as well as the download link here:
http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2008/06/one-question-about-pdf-printing-feature.html

Based on a discussion we had today in another thread, I think it makes sense to add to this thread that the XSL-FO snipped used to get BI Publisher to render images is used when referencing images in a report column, e.g. you included them in your RTF layout using the BI Publisher Desktop Insert->Table option. In this case, the column is referenced with “value-of select”:
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg">
<xsl:value-of select="LOGO"/>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
On the other hand, if you want to dynamically include a company logo, or other data that’s not necessarily repeating, e.g. there’s only one value, then you would use the BI Publisher Desktop Insert->Field option . And you would reference your field as follows:
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg">
<?LOGO?>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
So in this case LOGO refers to either a single-value field, or a single-row report column value.

Marc

Report column headings and title tag

Is there a way to add a title tag (similar to the alt tag for images) to my report column headings, so that when I hover over the column headings I get a description of the column?

I found a solution here:

Image stored in BLOB column crashes report's engine

Hi,
I have a report where I display logos stored in a BLOB column on the DB.
The report is generated as RTF.
When images have sizes of 624x168 or 423x324 everything is OK. One image, 1221x224, is crashig the report with a dr. Watson error.
Any idea why?
The size of the "bad" image file is 38K, and the "good" ones are about 300K.

I altered student table to store photoes of students. For this I added STIMG as blob, MIMETYPE,FILENAME,IMAGE_LAST_UPDATE COLUMNS to studentadmitted table. Image stored and displayed in report very nicely. With the following query

"FIRST_NAME",
"LAST_NAME",

"COURSE_ID",
"SESSION_ID",
"CONTACT#" "CONTACT_H",nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(STIMG),0) IMAGE
from "#OWNER#"."STUDENTADMITTED"
Images are displayed in column but they have different sizes.Stick to declarative BLOB images as above. They can be resized in reports using CSS. Add a style sheet in the page Inline CSS property:
td[headers="IMAGE"] img {
display: block;
width: 75px;
border: 1px solid #999;
padding: 6px;
background: #f6f6f6;
}where the <tt>IMAGE</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, if the original images are large then scaling them 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. Downloading megapixel images and then reducing them to thumbnail size results in pointlessly pushing millions of bytes that will never be seen.
For improved performance and image quality, and where you require image-specific scaling the best approach is to use the database ORDImage object to produce thumbnail and preview versions automatically. Note that this is not possible in Oracle XE as Multimedia is not included

Interactive report column filters to display differently than column values

Greetings...
We use images a lot in our interactive reports to provide a visual representation to a status, or something locked for update, or what-have-you. By default, when a user clicks the column heading of a column which contains images, the drop-down list that shows up displays the actual images, which is nice for the user to identify exactly which thing they want to filter on. The problem is when the user selects on of the options in the filtering drop-down, the resulting condition that is displayed under the interactive report search bar is the HTML code of the image. I'd like something else to display there because showing the user the HTML code is atrocious.
I didn't think what I want is possible, but then I came across the Page Locks page within ApEx (page 4000:291 in ApEx 4.0.1) which displays a list of all the pages of an application and whether they are locked or not. It also allows you to bulk lock or bulk unlock a bunch of pages. That page uses an interactive report with a column called "Status" which contains images that represent whether the page is locked or not. When you click the "Status" column heading to filter, instead of seeing the images of an open and closed lock, you see the words "Page Locked" and "Page Unlocked." And even better... when you select on of them, the condition that is displayed to the user is very user-friendly.
Can someone tell me how this is done so I can replicate it in my own apps?
Shane.

Why not create the IR using the text you require e.g. 'Lock', 'Unlock' and then use JQuery to replace the text in the report with the image you want. All the filters should then show the plain text and the report will display the image. e.g.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=46801:1
Here's what I did:
Firstly make sure the IR has a region template.
Then create a Dynamic Action with the following attributes:
1. Advanced
2. Event: After Refresh
3. Selection Type: Region
4. Region: [select the IR Region]
5. Action: Execute JS Code
6. Fire on page load: [checked]
7. Code:
$('td [headers="TEST"]').each(function(index) {
if ($(this).text() == 'Lock') {
$(this).empty().html('<img src="/i/htmldb/icons/locked_small.gif" alt="Lock" />');
else {
$(this).empty().html('<img src="/i/htmldb/icons/unlocked_small.gif" alt="Unlock" />');
});Where TEST is the column name.
That's it, this may also be of interest:

Showing dynamic and unknown number of images in SSRS report

I am using SSRS 2008. I need to display an unknown number of unspecified images on the report.
Basically I have a webpage, where the user selects a specific ID (ex. 24) from a dropdown and then click "View Report".
The report should then display any images, associated with that ID. The only thing I know about the images, is the path to where the images are stored. The path is kept in a database, so I should be able to retrieve the path ok.
But then how do i get the report to display the images, when I do not know the name or number of images?
Please help.

Hi dukie4lif,
According to your description, you have a report to display images selected by users. Now your issue is, the users select a specific ID to get images, but you only have the path of images stored in your database. Is my understanding correct?
For your requirement, if the users want to get images by selecting a specific ID, this ID must be stored in database and associated with the path of those images. Otherwise the database can never query any records with this ID if it doesn’t have any ID stored.
Now we need to go to your database, create one more table or add one more column in the table which have your path stored to store those IDs, and let them associated with those path. Use a parameter in this report for users selecting IDs. Then your goal will
be achieved.

Report Parameters (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to insert a conditional image into a report

Hi
I am fairly new to HTML DB, but I have managed to create my first application.
I need a little help with one report.
One of the columns in the report contains Y, N or R. The customer wants me to display a different coloured image depending on the value (ie a red button for N, green for Y or amber for R).
I have can add a static image to a report via "Column Formatting" -> "HTML Expression", but I have no idea how to make it conditional.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
Rak

Great, that works!!!!
Thanks very much.
For completeness (incase anyone else reads this), there was one typo, in your solution, you omitted the opening '<' in the image source HTML tag
select loanno, itemid,
decode (returned, 'N', '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet_red.gif" border="0" alt="Loaned">',
'Y', '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet_green.gif" border="0" alt="In Library">',
'R', '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet_orange.gif" border="0" alt="Returned">'
) as status
from loans
Thanks for your help,...

ORA-01403 displaying image in a report

Hello.
I have a table with BLOB column that stores an image. I created a report on this table trying to display this column's images. I surround the column with dbms_lob.getlength() function in the SQL of the report and I use the following for the column's Number / Date Format in the "Column Formatting" section of the Report Attributes:
IMAGE:PROJECT:PRODUCT_LOGO:PROJECT_ID::::::inline:Download
This syntax is what makes things works for me in other areas of the application where I display stored images in a report. But not here. The report works, returning a number (representation of the getlength function returned value), as it should. As soon as I add the above Number / Date Format, I get:
report error:
ORA-01403: no data found
What is different in this report from the others that work is that this report's SQL is a join of a number of tables, not a straight select on one table like the others. In the SQL, the tables are referenced by alias, so table PROJECT's PRODUCT_LOGO column is referenced as a.product_logo in the query's select clause.
I don't see any other substantive differences.
What could be the cause of the failure?
Thank You
Boris

Thank You Scott for your reply.
I was able to figure it out.
In my report query, I forgot to reference PROJECT_ID, which is the primary key of the table by which the IMAGE mask is called. Apparently, it is necessary to awalys include the primary key in the query SELECT clause, where you actually need it in the report or not, just to make the image retrieval in the report work.
Thank You
Boris

Please could anybody has a sol, to bring images to the report for all employees which has no reference with images stored in some path

Hi Obiee experts,
I have placed the images in below locations and these images are independent and has no reference to the employee id column in dimension table.but my client requires report with all the employees,with respect to the images.Could anybody can give me a solution for this.
    1) root: \apps\Middleware\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\bi_server1\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\7dezjl\war\res\s_blafp\images
   2) root: \apps\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\s_blafp\images
   3) root: \apps\Middleware\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\analyticsRes
Thanks in Advance

Hi Sreeni,
The images are stored with employee ids reference like 1234.jpg in the image location path, so will it be possible to call those images into the report with no relation at database level.
as you said in above mail even if if we cld try to store the images in oracle database with format like CLOB format the rpd will not support the datatype to bring to that report level.
Please let me know if you have any solution
Thanks in Advance
