Unable to display an image using boimg:// syntax - Unix

building reports desktopintelligence

Hi,

  • my bmp is in /opt/bo/bobje/enterprise115/Images/
  • I created a cell : boimg://xxx.bmp
  • I changed the cell format to Image > BMP/TIFF

… but I can’t display that image either on the deski client or on Infoview.

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Eric

For DeskI you dont have to use boimage://, it should just be the UNC path pointing to the shared or local folder.
For WebI reports use this in the cell formula editor

 ="boimg://xxx.bmp"

And set the property read cell content as to Image URL.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. The UNC path is ok on a Windows server but are you sure this applies to a Unix one?

My apologies, I did not see Unix in your post topic.
Please wait for someone to give pointers.

hi haider,

If the report is created from the server machine the image is displayed even in Infoview.
How to achieve the same with client installation. What is the path syntax that should be given when deski report is developed from client installation. Because when path of the local system is given, image is displayed in Deski report but when viewed from infoview just a crossed line is seen. :roll_eyes:

If any one achieved this Please help !!!

Many Thanks in advance.
