To fetch files from FTP Server and display in BIP Report

Satya.Munagala

Hi All,

I have a requirement in a custom BIP report which should fetch image files from FTP server and display in the report output.

Please let me know if you have any idea or come across similar requirement.

Hi,

Publisher can generate reports and push them to a FTP server, but it isn't going to connect to a FTP, copy a picture locally, to then embed it into a report.

It's your task to make any file needed available locally (or via URL could also work, depending on your report).

Write a script, deploy a webserver exposing your files via a URL or anything else, but don't expect Publisher to retrieve files via FTP.

Hi Gianni Ceresa,

Thanks for the update on FTP.

Do you have any idea, if we can pull the attachment images from Oracle UCM and show it in BIP report.
