Inspired by one of post in OTN forum on how to populate data base images on a native report, here assumptions are database having image URL, images are residing in image resource folder.
To do that first keep all images files in OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\images i.e fmap:images\xyz.jpg
Keep all image file names (with file extn) in database as required.
Exp: Suppose geo dimension with
South as south.jpg
West as west.jpg
East as east.jpg,
North as north.jpg
To display images on report:
Add image’s column to report
(Just to illustrate example I have added image file names in ERROR_TEXT in Usage track Schema.)
Click on Column Properties, go to Data Format tab
Check “Override Default Data Format” and from drop down choose “Custom Text Format”
In Custom Text Format edit box place following script.
@[html]" < !-- img src="\\analytics\\res\\s_oracle10\\images\\""@H""" -- > "(Please uncomment html tags)
Browse report, images url's will be fetched from database appended with resource file displayed on report.
Here is a good example on how to embed image on a web page with various options.
