Use the Picture tab of the Properties dialog box to specify properties for picture graphics objects and dashboard section background pictures.
When an Interactive Reporting document is created and saved using a 9.3.x Release, all images are saved in a centralized format (the Resource Manager). As a result, the images cannot be read or displayed in earlier releases of Interactive Reporting. This is because the relocation and rationalization of the images is not understood by releases earlier than 9.3.x.
The exception is images from a document saved in a pre-9.3 Release, which have been referenced once: not copied, merged or duplicated; for example, placed in dashboard or report section as a picture graphic in traditional fashion.
To retain compatibility with earlier releases, you can run the RevertImageResources script, that provides a facility to undo the relocation and image merging, and thereby return the Interactive Reporting document to the pre-9.3, pre-Resource Manager format. The script is included with Dashboard Development Services Release 9.3 or it can be downloaded from the Hyperion Developer Network. The script can only be used on the desktop, and not in EPM Workspace, as it relies on a the COM feature of Interactive Reporting Studio.
Certain new features make documents ineligible for conversion to the non-Resource Manager format; for example, if the 9.3 Release Interactive Reporting document contains bubble and scatter charts, then these are lost when the Interactive Reporting document is opened in the earlier release of Interactive Reporting Studio. For information on running the RevertImageResources script, see Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting Object Model and Dashboard Development Services Developer's Guide, Volume V: Dashboard Studio.
