Images not showing up in Internet Explorer (OBIEE)

Cameron Loepker

OBIEE version : 12.2.1.3.0

Hello Board,

I have an issue where my organization defaults to using IE (I think for security reasons but not certain) and in OBIEE we have some nice pretty images that they want displayed as part of a major project rollout. This is a big big rollout, the first of which just happened, the other portions being rolled out over the next 4 years.

I need to figure out why the images are showing up in Chrome, but not in IE and find a way around this.

advice?

thanks,

Cameron

Hi,

Not talking about the choice of IE because it isn't the topic (although Microsoft itself said to leave IE and move to Edge), you have to post some more details as at the moment no answer is possible.

OBIEE target isn't to display images by default, so you will have to provide details of what images, where they are from, how they got there etc.

Hi,

Not sure of the policy decision of why they kept with IE, but i did check and it appears on Edge just fine, as it does with Chrome.

The images were uploaded to the catalog from my desktop and are .jpeg. smaller than the OBIEE image upload limit. Just a picture of text with an arrow graphic.

And how and where are you trying to display them?

Cameron Loepker

Trying to display them on a dashboard, using dashboard object: Link or Image - then selected image. when i try to browse to the catalog select the image that way, the folder i made for it with the picture in it - shows up empty. not sure if which way the picture makes a difference or not?

for example, this picture is taken out of IE, and you can see how i tried to re-upload but it still shows my image as an X. other images beside it are showing though....

OK.

Solved it.

Re-uploaded as a PNG. and it likes that in IE.!!

thanks for talking this thru.

cheers!
