OBIEE Image path and Size limit

User_N8YMF

Hi Experts,

I have 2 questions.

1. Is there anyway we can store the images in a different folder other than the below paths and refer using fmap in dashboards

../user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/analytics_11.1.1/7dezjl/war/res/s_blafp/images

../Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/appv2/res/s_blafp/images

2. Is there any size limit of the images that we put is these folders?

Thanks,

Rajesh.

@Gianni recently blogged about this: https://gianniceresa.com/2016/12/deploy-custom-folder-obiee-12c-analyticsres/

Once you've followed these steps and created a custom folder, you can place your images in there and they'd be accessible to OBIEE. I'm not awre of any image size limits but larger images will slow down your page loading

ad 1) The proper way of doing this is not to touch the core files and folder but to deploy a custom style and skin:

...mainly because patches and upgrades would simply wipe out your configuration.

ad 2) Basically whatever your browser can render

read_image_file('d:\pics\'||:reg_no||'.jpg','jpg','image_name');

That's a joke right?

[nQSError: 27042] Function read_image_file is not defined by administrator.

Maybe you can provide some context on how this thing is supposed to help the OP referencing images using fmap ?

Because it's can't at all ...

Hi Joel,

Thanks a ton for the response.

I see the link talks about OBIEE 12c.

Is this possible in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.150120?

Thanks.

Rajesh.

It's all there.

Can we have these image files outside of OBIEE server?

our requirement here is that we have images in a different server. If we need to have the OBIEE image path configured in OBIEE server then we need to copy the images to a custom folder in OBIEE server.

Thanks,

Rajesh.

The folder can be anywhere as long as the OBIEE server has access to it.

"1) First you must create a folder on the OBIEE server filesystem (or at least a place OBIEE can access, can also be on a mounted shared folder). This is the folder where you place the content you want to make available via your browser."
