images in HTML reports

How to render image in HTML reports?
I have a webapp which invokes Reporting Services web service to generate
reports in HTML format. The reports are for internet users - the image is not
accessible to these internet users because they cannot access the report
server directly which is in the intranet. Is there a solution to this problem
at all?
Thanks
SanjayYes, although it is not simple. You need to use the RenderStream method to
get the image and put it in a place where it is available to the Internet
users. You need to pass this path into the initial Render() call using the
<StreamRoot> deviceInfo.
For what it is worth, this will be much easier in SQL 2005 RS.

because the location where I can generate the image with RenderStream is not
available on internet.
Including an External Web image could work for me because I'm including the
same banner image in my reports, but when I tried to include an External Web
Image like
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/toolbar/3.0/images/banners/msdn_masthead_ltr.gif
in my report in report designer, I got message 'Invalid Image'. Is that
expected or is it because of some restrictions in my environment?
Thanks

I don't understand why you can't copy the image to a directory on the
external web site.

Can I manipulate the HTML on the external web-site to pick up the images

for picking up the images in the report.

I'm newbie. Script to generate scripts (add job steps).

Hi, I want to add to my 50 single step jobs a second step with command
"execute JOB_STEP_FAIL <jobname>" where <jobname> is job name from sysjobs
table.
I want to use sp_add_jobstep .
I do not want to make this job by hand.
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!If you have a way to identify the 50 Jobs you want to add a step to, then us
e
a cursor, or table variable, or while loop, to run sp_add_jobstep for each
one...
Say the job names all start with 'DD'
Then
Select Job_id
From msdb..sysjobs
Where name like 'DD%'
Will give you list of all jobs
Then you can use a while loop
Declare @.JobName varChar(200) Set @.JobName = ''
While Exists (Select * From msdb..sysJobs
Where name like 'DD%'
And name > @.JobName)
Begin
Select @.JobName = Min(name )
From msdb..sysJobs
Where name like 'DD%'
And name > @.JobName
-- --
Exec sp_Add_Job_Step
@.job_name = @.JobName,
@.step_id = 2,
@.Step_Name = 'FailStep',
@.subsystem = 'TSQL',
@.command = 'execute JOB_STEP_FAIL ' + @.JobName
End
But if <jobName> in your post is just the same job that just failed, it
looks like you are trying to reattempt the same job if it gets to this step,
But there is both a ReAttempt , and a Fail method on each jobStep that are
more appropriate for this purpose... You should investigate those
