You cant pull the image directly in the Web Intelligence report.

Workaround:

Put the image in some folder and store its URL in DB so that you can directly pull the URL of image and change the property of cell displaying URL to IMAGE URL so that it will show the image form folder.

Hi Kuldeep Chitrakar

I can do that in web intelligence. dont want that

I am replicating some of the sample report of SQL Servers in BusinessObjects XI R3.1.

One of the SQL Sever's report is of product catalogue type that gives complete information like name, category, description along with the products image etc... for each of the products.

I am trying to replicate the above said SQL Server report in Business objects XI R3.1. I am facing problem in bringing the image in to my BO report. The image resides in a table and its datatype is of varbinary(max). I don't know the exact matching while creating an object in the uiverse designer.

Hi,

Blob data types are not supported by Web Intelligence.This is planned for a next release.

So the only solution is to add them manually in Web Intelligence (as mentioned befor) or write a JSP/ASP script and use the Universe to call this script to display the image.

I did this king of 9 years ago.
