Title: image url question
Post by: terry_stjean on 20 Mar 2013 04:53:45 PM
Say our dev Cognos server is named devcognos and the web site for Cognos is named ibmcognos.
When I insert an image in Report Studio into a report, the image url becomes http://devcognos/ibmcognos/pics/picture01.jpg.
When I move this report to our production server, the image still points to the dev server.
What do I need to do so that the server name is not imbedded in the image url?

Use a relative URL. e.g.
/ibmcognos/pics/picture01.jpg

Yes, use a relative url.
A typical COgnos URL is in the format
http://<Server Name>/<Virtual Directory>/<other parts>
When you pu a relative URL like following
./pics/picture01.jpg
It searches from the current virtual directory path.

You shoud use "./pics/picture01.jpg" for relative path.

Rahul
