Images from Rational DOORS data is replaced by Image/OLE text in a document generates in Rational Publishing Engine

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempts to display a IBM Rational DOORS image object in report generated by IBM Rational Publishing engine (RPE) results in the image being replaced by the text Image/OLE.

Symptom

As part of your DOORS data you can include images. In some reports the images are not displayed but instead they are replaced by the text <Image/OLE>


Cause

This problem can be caused when you assign data element to a variable using Javascript in RPE. Javascript cannot work with this data and replaces it with <Image/OLE>.

Resolving The Problem

Do not assign the data element to a variable in RPE. You need to reference the element directly from the data.

For example: See the attached template doorsdataOLE.dta.









This is a modification of the out of the box template doorsData.

The Module\Object\Object Text element is displayed from the data and it is also assigned to the variable ContentValue.

When Object Text contains an image it is displayed when you use the Object Text data element and it is replaced with <Image/OLE> when assigned to a variable.
