Ticker option

How to use Ticker option on  OBIEE 10g / 11G

OBIEE 11G :

If want to add images in the ticker and depending upon the image click it has to navigate to separate reports. I am using <a href> inside the column formula-

'<a href="../analytics/saw.dll?Answers&Action=results&path=Pathofreport1">
<img src="../analytics/res/s_blafp/images/report_account_appl.jpg" width="150" height="40" />
</a>
<BR>
<a href="../analytics/saw.dll?Answers&Action=results&path=Pathofreport2">
<img src="../analytics/res/s_blafp/images/report_activities.jpg" width="150" height="40" />
</a>'

Check the HTML in the Data format.
And if the image still doesnt appear then restart the Services. And blue border should appear around the image.
Then just have the ticker and it works as expected.

Paths for Custom Images in 11g

Drive:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\s_blafp\images

Drive:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\bi_server1\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\7dezjl\war\res\s_blafp\images

Drive:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\AdminServer\tmp\.appmergegen_1291264099332\analytics.ear\ukjjdc\res\s_blafp\images



OBIEE 10g  :

Upload the images to following two folders

D:\ORAHome\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\s_oracle10\images (Oracle application server install)

D:\OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\images (OBIEE install)
 

After adding images to the folders you need to restart the presentation services

. In answers, edit the title view and add the following

fmap:images/your_namename.gif

In dashboard you can use the same with image or link and fmap:impages/your_gif.gif

Hope this help's
