OBIEE - The relative path fmap

fmap is a shortcut to refer to the image loaded in the memory of the OBI Presentation Server. And then not of the application server..

This images are loaded during the initialization of the server and are located in the skin path :

• 10G: OracleBIData_Home\web\res\your_skin
• 11G: Oracle_BI_HOME\bifoundation\web\app\res\your_skin

It's used to prevent a cross-site scripting (XSS).

If you have a image located here

OracleBIData_Home\web\res\yourskin\mydirectory\myimage.jpg

you must refer to it in OBI Presentation service as :

fmap:mydirectory\myimage.jpg
