Image Content data instancesCreate an Image Content data instance by selecting Image Content from the Technical category.
An Image Content instance has three key parts:
Field |
Description |
| File Name |
Enter the name of this file. Choose a name suitable for UNIX or Windows or both. |
| File Type (extension) |
Enter the extension for this type of file, for example, gif for Compuserve Graphics Image Format files, jpg for Joint Photography Expert Group format, and so on. PRPC derives a MIME type from this value.
Although binary file rules can store binary objects that are not images (such as DLL or EXE files), use only images with Content Image data instances. |
| File Path |
Optional. Enter a name starting and ending with a forward slash, and containing only forward slashes, and at least one underscore, digit, and letter between slashes. This value is input to a hash function; it need not correspond to any server or directory. You can choose names that group related image content instances, for example: /employees/ /2009/ /logos/2008/ |
The BMP file type is proprietary to Microsoft. While you can save a Windows BMP file in a binary file rules, as a best practice, use only JPG, GIF, or PNG files for graphics to be presented by Web browsers. Use a paint software package to convert a Windows BMP files to JPG, PNG, or GIF format, and then store the converted file in a binary file rule.
