Hello SCN-Users,
currently I´m testing some solutions for custom resources like images / css within a Design Studio application. The destination should be the launchpad of an BIP and the business users should not see the resources within the BIP. My current scenarios are:
Solution 1:
Upload all resources via the Design Studio client to the BIP. It works but I can´t hide the resources for the business users.
Solution 2:
Upload the resources to the tomcat root folder for e.g. /tomcat/webapps/ROOT and access them via for e.g. http://<boserver>:<port>/image1.jpg. This solution works fine but I doesn´t like the absolute address path to the server. Maybe the port or server address could change in the future and currently I don´t know what is happening if an BO update would be installed...
Solution 3:
Use Base64 to encoded image resources. Currently I´m unhappy with this solution too because it´s complicated for further report developers to understand.
Is there maybe any other solution that you know? Maybe an folder for custom BIP resources which are accessible for an Design Studio application?
Kind regards
André
