Good evening;

Someone knows how to use images as URL or deposit on the OAC server, I need to add an image either URL or make use of this inside the server, if this is the last way, the folders inside the server should be hosted ? On the other hand, in URL of which pages allows to make an embedded use and does not show me anything of a google image address, google drive, droopbox, fiick.

  • Hi,

    Are you Adolfo?

    Any chance you could post in English? I don’t speak Spanish and I’m sure I’m not the only one

    The forum has English as common language so that we could all understand each other even if it isn’t our mother tongue.

    Is this relates to your previous thread where I saw Joel was replying?

    Hello Gianni If I am adolfo, of course I publish it in English, by the way if it is related to what Joel was answering but I got stuck at this point

  • So I hope you don't mind if we keep it here instead of into comments of a blog post. Will also be easier for others to contribute

    Yes I just wanted to point out the forum rules

    Regarding your question: There's fmap and cmap https://gerardnico.com/dat/obiee/obips/fmap

    OAC is OBI in the cloud so anything that is valid for OBI concerning custom skins and images is also valid for OAC - as long it's not autonomous

    but on the server with the oracle user I have a home / opc folder that I try to enter and it says denied permissions:

    The folders that I have in this user are the following:

    bi boot dev home lib64 media opt root selinux sys u01 var bin cgroup etc lib lost + found mnt proc sbin srv tmp usr

  • The images hosted on outside your OAC (google etc.) I would say they aren't visibile because of CSP, it's something which can be configured in OBIEE and therefore you can also configure in OAC I would say. The only thing to keep in mind is how upgrade will be performed: will your customized instanceconfig.xml be preserved or will it be replaced with a default one making you lose your CSP settings? That's an open question (didn't search in MOS to see if there is a document about CSP in OAC, but I'm quite sure I saw either a screen where to configure it or for sure a document which explain how updates are performed telling you if you risk to lose your customization or not).

    For the "analyticsRes" approach I will need to test a thing as there is a kind of "transparent" element in OAC which is always there: a load balancer even if you have a single host. If the load balancer is very strict it will prevent the "analyticsRes" approach.

    Will try to test this one and see what I find.

  • Can definitely confirm you can freely configure CSP in your OAC instance to allow to embed images from an external host.

    The default on the config can be found here: https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/biee/BIESG/answersconfigset.htm#BIESG9326

    And by SSH you have access to instanceconfig.xml in /bi/domain/fmw/user_projects/domains/bi/config/fmwconfig/biconfig/OBIPS (you get there by following https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=2245210.1 which Joel posted in your other thread).

    Now I will test the "analyticsRes" approach to see if it works fine or not.
