Generating images from BI Interactive Dashboards in PDF format

One of our customers address the following: using images on your Dashboard - using components "Link or Image" - which refers to "external" pages with images, for example: This predefined image is then displayed on the dashboard page: But when you generate the PDF Image missing: The possibility of (perhaps not the only one, but I came to another), how to make location of the image in the generated PDF file to do a "part" BI Presentation Service Plugin (J2EE component running within the application server - for example, oc4j, Oracle Application Server, Apache Tomcat or other application server) in order to refer to the file using the syntax: fmap:








[Folder] / [file]. The procedure is as follows: 1) Create a folder on the application server installation directory in the BI Presentation Service and copying files Allocate a directory on the application server - ie where the application server runs in which the J2EE application deployována BI Presentation Service Plugin - analytics.war / ear - for example in the case of "local" installation of Windows is Obie OracleBI/j2ee/home/applications/analytics directory. In this directory are placed in subdirectories of the style - it is about these 2 folders (refers to installing oc4j - Apache Tomcat may vary):OracleBI/j2ee/home/applications/analytics/analytics/res/s_oracle10 / - Oracle style OracleBI / j2ee/home/applications/analytics/analytics/s_Siebel77 / - Siebel style in these two directories, create two subdirectories for the location of your "custom" images, such as "my": These directories then copy the images you want to "expose" on dashboard. The same directory (along with a step of copying files) must be created on the server running the BI Presentation Service component - and in the following directory structure: OracleBI / Oracle BI/web/app/res/s_oracle10/images/moje OracleBI / Oracle BI / web / app / res / s_Siebel77 / images / my 2) Restart the componentsyou restart: - components of the BI Presentation Service - Application server (oc4j, Apache Tomcat ...) 3) Create a "Link or Image" on a dashboard page dashboard then reload object "Link or Image" with reference to the following image:
