Unable to display Image on BIP report saved as blob in database
Hi
Previously We were working in oracle 11g forms and reports, we were displaying Company's Logo (blob image in database) and there was report in report builder to show as image.
Now we are planning to convert our reports into OBIEE 12c (BIP --- XDO), When try to show blob data on BIP report then instead of Image raw data is displaying (we are not using any word template etc.).
anyone please help

Hi Robert
This blog is for the Images on analysis through RPD but in my case I want to use Images on BIP XDO reports through Data Model (generated from SQL query).
this blog does not fullfil my requirement

This blog is helpful but If you please guide me little more
After reading these blogs, I am assuming that template is necessary for BIP reports, am I right?
in my case I am not using any word/ pdf template, just created data model and then created report

Hello,
I faced the same issue, cause i wanted to show an image in the BIP report (not with word/pdf template).
I was not able to achieve it.
Workaround i´ve made for my personal solution was to access a public url with the desired image and place it in the report.
Regards,
Carlos

This solution can be implemented for the static images such as logo etc. but this solution is not feasible when we are dispalying some patient related images such Pulmonary images or gastro images.
So what is recommendation for this scenario

Hi,
I am a big believer in the right tool for the right job, and whilst BIP does claim to be pixel perfect etc I am fairly sure Oracle did not envision or design it such that it would be fit for purpose to be used for an image archive accessing solution, and particularly as you are talking medical images I would be very cautious about attempting this with the wrong tool.
Better would be to include URL links to whatever is specifically designed for purpose for accessing the medical images in question.
Given the nature of the information security must also be a major consideration.

@Robert Angel
I have achieved this problem by designing the RTF template as BIP built-in Layout Editor template type (XPT) does not support this feature directly but when upload template (OBIEE 12c; New --> Style sheet --> upload) then template uploaded succesfully but not visible for report creation.
If you can help me I shall be greatful

Seriously - I saw your hospital is oncology, if this were me I would not want to display images via your BI solution, I would want to ensure that only specialist medical imaging technology was used with highest resolution and zoom in facilities - this is a matter of life and death - and for my sins I too worked in health for over ten years....
