Hi All,
I have a problem in accessing the images stored in the server and refer the stored images in excel format requests.
Problem is,
We have the WFclient deployed in server1 and the WF reporting server deployed in server2. When I issue the FILDEF command

FILEDEF XYZ DISK /home/webfocus/ibi/apps/sm66272/XYZ.gif

the image is actually storing in the WFreporting server i.e in server2 and I could not able to refer the stored images in WFreportingserver through an http URL.
[i.e to show the images in ]
I need your help in finding a way either to access the image stored in server2 or how do issue my FILEDEF command to store the image in server1, as I can able to access the server1 images through the URL.

Thanks
Cnu

Cnu,

You have to copy it to the WF client path. When run from a browser, the images are served from the web server. Your html page should reference images as

http://yourwebserver/approot/dirname/yourimage.gif

Or you can make it relative to the server by starting with /approot.

Thanks Ginny.

Can you gimme CAR example to store my images in the webserver approot/dir directory. Because when I use FILDEF and give the path as
FILEDEF XYZ DISK /home/webfocus/ibi/apps/sm66272/XYZ.gif

it is actually storing the images in the webfocus reporting server path , as these are graphs dynamically generated Is there any way to copy those dynamically generated graph gifs to the webserver directory at run time.

[To remind] our reporting server is in a seperate machine and reporting client is in a seperate machine where the appserver(WebSphere) is installed. All the environments is in UNIX.

Thanks,
Cnu

Cnu,

As I said above, you cannot save into the client server from the reporting server. If you are on Windows, you could possibly do a Windows-mapped drive, then do an APP MAP to that drive, then filedef it and save.

And there is always ftp.

Thanks Ginny,
My servers are in UNIX environments,Is there a way I could issue my ftp command in my fex itself so that I can refer images in the excel.
Thanks
Cnu

Cnu,

You can run a script from a fex, not the individual commands. The latter won't work for obvious reasons. Make sure that you have security handled. Also make sure that the file permissions on the target box are correct after the ftp.

Thanks Ginny!!!
Ftp works and the Excel shows the images,but due to security issue client refused this options
