Dynamic image(logo) in reports 6i

Hi,
I want to insert an image (logo of my company) in all my reports, from a location for example d:\abc.gif, so that if i replace the image from a new one the report show the new image (logo),
I tried file --> import --> image already but it is static and if there is any change in logo i need to change in all my reports,
should i save the image in a table and show it , but how , please tell,
Note ( Report Builder 6i
Database 9i)
Regards

I got the solution and writing it below for other guys,
•     Create a table with a column type BLOB or long raw in database
•     Save the picture in it by making a form based on the table in previous step.
•     Write the following code in when image pressed trigger
DECLARE
V_FILE_NAME VARCHAR2(40);
BEGIN
V_FILE_NAME := GET_FILE_NAME(File_Filter=> 'JPG Files (*.JPG)|*.JPG|');
READ_IMAGE_FILE(V_FILE_NAME,'JPG', 'block_name.image_item');
END;
•     In reports, create SQL Query to read that table, and assign the BLOB, Long Raw field in to the report.

Reports 10g - Dynamic Alignment?

Hi,
On my report let say I am displaying 3 sets of data (Ex: Employees data, Dept data & HR data). I want my report to be aligned in the Center.
For any reason if I dont get back any data for Depts, does the report dynamically align itself or does it put blank space there?
If Dynamic Alignment is possible can you please share the details.
Thanks much!

Dynamic Images in Crystal Reports

I have a report with Dynamic Images. I am able to run the report but once I try to export it or try to browse through the pages I get the following error:
Application popup: Crystal Reports - [Inventory Graphics Report.rpt]: crw32.exe - Application Error : The exception Integer division by zero.
(0xc0000094) occurred in the application at location 0x2c03a410.

Hi Don,
I have read your response 10 times, but I don't really understand it.
"Your only option is to use the Insert OLE Object or picture into the report" - fine, but how is this achieved from a dataset?
"CR will not display BLOB fields as pictures" - fine, but maybe I used the word BLOB badly. The dataset column datatype is "byte[]". Will CR display byte[] columns as pictures?
"You can use a database field to point to which picture file to use, then you won't be using up valuable memory space importing the images into your data set. And the Logo's now dynamic...." - this seems to suggest that the database field is a string storing the file location on disk. Yes? I don't care about memory space in this case and I'm happy to load a binary file into a byte[] column if there is a way of displaying it.
So, if I understand correctly, you're suggesting the dataset contain a table.row.column which stores the filelocation. How do I convert that to display as a picture (dynamically)?

Run time Image Display in the Webi (Business Objects_)
Step 1
For example field name [Item No] :110000001 then Image file name should be 110000001.jpg
Copy the image files into the following path in the BO server.
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\images
*Make sure folder have enough permission to access it from client pcu2019s
Step 2
Open new report and create a new variable called ItemPicture with the following formula
="boimg://"+[Item No] +".jpg"
Step 3
Drag the variable to report
Set the Display property of the variable
Read Cell Content As : ImageURL
Refresh the report

Dynamic Image issue using the SDK CrystalReportViewer in a Web Farm

Hello,
Well it's the classic dyanamic Red X image problem with a twist. We have the CrystalReportViewer control coded into an ASPX web page using the BOE XI R2 SDK.
The problem is everything works fine (after all the usual Red X image fixes) when only one of the servers in the farm are running. It's when two are running, by using Process Monitor, I can tell NetScaler is splitting up the HTTP calls so one server may have the temp image created and of course the other one doesn't.
Therefore, if you're lucky enough for one server to handle most of the load, image comes up fine. Otherwise, the report renders, but you get Red X for the image.
I have seen an article about a registry key (CrystalImageDir) that allows you to enter a network share as the temp folder. The problem is, we are using Windows Integrated Authentication for the intranet site so you're faced the two hop authentication hurtle, leading to access denied on the UNC network path.
Anyone using the SDK in a .NET application using multiple web front end servers?
Thanks!
Horus

By the way, I'm hearing that NetScaler can handle sticky sessions. However, since a report with dynamic images is really a GET request for the report, then a bunch of sub-GETs to grab the images, what URL would you set the sticky session for?
For example, if the web page containing the CrystalReportsViewer was:
https://coolapplication.mycompany.com/Site100/ReportApp/ViewReport.aspx
Then report the viewer would contain links to something like:
https://coolapplication.mycompany.com/Site100/ReportApp/CrystalImageHandler.aspx?dynamicimage=cr_tmp_image_5671d67a-4f5d-4ab1-b3c8-0d2561ee64f3.png
So which URL/page gets load balanced? Or is that not how LB works?
Thanks!
Horus

Image Problem in Reports 10g

Hi Gurus,
I am using an Boilerplate in the Reports 10g. In the Property Inspection I am passing
Source File Format : Image
Source FileName : &P_IMG_LOCATION
Where &P_IMG_LOCATION is the dynamic location which is fetched from the database
For Eg . &P_IMG_LOCATION will be \\oracle\logo.bmp
But It is giving accepting &P_IMG_LOCATION in the Source FileName.
Please tell me how can i pass the location???
Best Regards,

Yeah, you can't do that. Instead, in your data model, create a formula column that is populated from &p_img_location. Then, set the "Read from File" property to "Yes" and the "File Format" to "Image". In your layout, create a new field and use the new formula column as the source.

Dynamic Images in PDF Report

Hi,
I want to create Badges from employee table (ID, NAME, JOB_TITLE, PHOTO). I downloaded and installed a demo application "USING DYNAMIC IMAGES IN PDF REPORT". It works fine with smale images < 20K. I'm getting the following error for images > 20K :
"ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: raw variable length too long"
it seems like a buffer problem.
could you pls help to solve this problem
Thanks,
Ribhi

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!

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

Inserting images stored as BLOB in table to Oracle Report(10G)

We have some oracle reports(rdf) built in Oracle 10g. Now we are planning to update these reports to include images stored as pdf's on file system. We have loaded these pdf's as blob into tables. Is there a way to include these image/s into the reports.
Thx.

Easy answer: No, this is not possible. You can't show a PDF inside your report.
Since you are talking about just images, why do you even store these images as PDF? Why not as JPG or PNG (if you need best image-quality)?
Using a normal image in a report would be no problem at all.
Complex answer: Yes, this could be possible with an enormous effort.
You could write yourself a Java-Bean which reads the BLOB, uses something like "iText" to convert the PDF to a normal image, and then display this image.
I want to recommend to not use this solution since it introduces a really big complexity into you report where the usual solution of just storing images as images and not PDFs would give you a better result (and way better performance).

Adding Image in Reports 10g

I have added one image in existing Report to customize it.While seeing the utput in Applications it does not display the image.The format for the image is .jpg.We are using Applications R12,Reports 10g.How to get it.

Hi ,
Firstly sorry for asking in the same thread . .
I am also working in the same envronment.
my destination type is PDF and its a bitmap report.
so my senario is something like this.
I need to print the signature of the agent based on the agent id on all pages of the report.
and each page it has to check the agent id and print the same .. we can issue the report to generate the o/p for multiple orders/so multiple agents. . . so
1st page -> jack -> so his singature . ..
2nd page -> Jack . . same order continues -> same signatuer repeats.
3rd page -> scott -> so another signature . .
issues:
we have to print this in the footer of the page . . so we used the edit margin section for the same.
we are actually picking up the agent id for that page using a summary column and function set to last and reset at page level.
( both the summary column and the formula colum are not in any group in the data model)
we created a formula column for picking the image file properties below
type: character
read from file: yes
file_type: image
it actually works but the problem is the image starts from the second page onwards. and for 3 pages it prints . . .
1st page -> blank - Jack's signature is req.
2nd page - > jack's signature appears . .
3rd page -> jack's signature -> should be scott's signature
in case the fourth page for scott or any other person is ther e
scott's signature appears . . .
please guide me . . .
thanks and regards
Jagan.

Dynamic image report not working

Hi,
I am trying to create a report which has a dynamic image.
- the report has
a parameter: {?image_path}
- user specifies the image location (ie. c:\image1.png)
- the report take the image location as a parameter and change "graphic location" of the picture object.
The following works fine in Crystal Report 11 R2, but not in .net application.
I checked the passsed parameter value by displaying it, and the parameter value was correct.
does anyone know why the picture object is not updated based on the value of parameter?
Thanks,

If you are using IIS on your local machine then that does not necessarily mean that the application has access to the root of the C drive (or your image folder). Depending on the version of IIS you are using (IIS5 on XP and Win2k) or IIS6/7 on win2k3/2k8 there are different possibilites.
I'll assume Windows 2003 server. Here permissions of the application are determined by the application pool that the application is running under. Typically this will be the 'Network Service' account which would not likely have permissions to all of the files and folders on your machine. An easy test (to find out if its permissions) is to change the Identity used by your application pool from 'Network Service' account to the 'Local System' account, which should have access to most folders on your machine. If this works, then its a permissions issue.
If you are running the application directly from the Visual Studio IDE and you created your website as a 'File System' web site, then it will not use IIS but rather a personal web server called WebDev.WebServer.exe. If this is the case, you'll see that executable in Task Manager. This process will run under your currently logged on credentials and should have full access to the file system as would Crystal Reports designer or any Windows application you run. If images still do not show up in this case (or the case of IIS running under the Local System account, then the next possibility is that you do not have CrystalImageHandler set up correctly in your application's web.config file. To make sure this is set up correctly then you will need to set this up as described in the [Crystal Reports Developer guide|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008V1/en/crsdk_net_dg_12_en.zip]
If you download this help file, search for "web.config" and look at the CrystalImageHandler section.
If you are on Win2k8 using IIS7, then you will need to run your application pool in 'Classic' mode rather than 'Managed Pipeline' mode in order for dynamic images to show properly.
