Introduction • Andrea MulrineDirector of Development OperationsUniversity of Scranton • Andrea.Mulrine@Scranton.edu • Database / Web developer • BANNER school since early 1990’s
Agenda Overview Technical Information Stewardship Reports Prospect Profiles Q & A
Overview • Information needed • Editable reports • In-house system, iDODS • Programmers
Technical Information Photos are stored in an Oracle table with these fields: ID: number(10) = PIDM NAME: varchar2(50) = pidm.jpg extension (ie 98025293.jpg) Image: blob We used examples from Oracle to create our IMAGES_API.Load routine to load into the database – refer tohttp://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/ImagesFromOracleOverHTTP9i.php Photos are in our addendum system - possible to make photos viewable in Banner, but we haven’t pursued
Technical Information • PLSQL code extracts from Oracle tables • For photo, code gets the blob and renders as html within the image source tag • Oracle web application utility OWA_UTIL converts the html data to Word
Code to transfer HTML to Word if instr(owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_USER_AGENT'),'MSIE') > 0 then Owa_Util.Mime_Header ( 'application/vnd.ms-word', False); htp.print('Content-Disposition:inline;filename="'||v_report_title||'.doc"'); owa_Util.Http_Header_Close loop through HTML records
MIME • Short for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, a specification for formatting non-ASCII messages so that they can be sent over the Internet. Many e-mail clients now support MIME, which enables them to send and receive graphics, audio, and video files via the Internet mail system. In addition, MIME supports messages in character sets other than ASCII. There are many predefined MIME types, such as GIF graphics files and PostScript files. It is also possible to define your own MIME types. • In addition to e-mail applications, Web browsers also support various MIME types. This enables the browser to display or output files that are not in HTML format. • MIME was defined in 1992 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). A new version, called S/MIME, supports encrypted messages.
