KB37808: Best practices on how to reference an image specified using a relative path for exported documents in MicroStrategy 9.x-10.x

If possible, users should use HTTP paths to reference an image other than relative path or absolute path. If it is necessary to use a relative path to reference image, multiple locations need to store the copy of image as shown in the following table:

 
Important notes:

• Strategy Web Server is not involved in storing image when exporting. Image should be stored in Intelligence Server or Strategy Developer Client
• For Strategy Developer export, local Strategy Developer handles the export, image should be placed on every single Developer machine
• If you don't know your Common Path or MSTR Home Path you can obtain them from the following registry keys if using windows or msireg.reg if using Unix
  
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SOFTWARE -->Strategy --> DSS Server -> Casetor -->Home Path
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SOFTWARE -->Strategy --> DSS Suite --> Common Path
