BIRT dynamic image ressource

[hevilp]

Hey,

I have a table with a column, where the path to the image is defined.
The path in the row is like “\fileserver\data\plans\0.01.png” “\fileserver\data\plans\0.02.png” …

Error in report: “The resource of this report item is not reachable.”
When I put the String from the row in explorer I have access to it.

Whats wrong?

Hi @hevilp,

The “Dynamic image” option refers to existing images in your dataset not the paths. You need to read the files in your worklflow first, then pass the table with the images to BIRT and use this option to display images in your final report.
Please take a look at this post for more instructions:

Image To Table in BIRT using Data to Report

Create a “Table” item Bind the image field Insert an “Image” item inside the detail row of the table Set the image form to dynamic and select the image data from the available data which is the data field(s) you have bound. Here is your workflow with a modified report: Showcase Dynamic Image Problem.knwf (731.7 KB)

Thanks for your help.
Now I read the images with the “Read Images node”, so I have a new Column with the image.
I connect it to Data to Report node - but I cannot chose it in the dynamic image node in the BIRT.
The Image to report I cannot connect.

Please follow the instructions mentioned in the linked post.
You have to bind the column with the images to the table in which you are using the image item.
There is also an example workflow attached to the post that may be helpful.
