Hi,

it depends on how big solution you need?

If your requirement needs also Android APP (for users), then I would probably suggest go with SUP (Sybase Unwired Platform).

But It is a bit complex solution. Maybe somebody suggest something lightweight?

Hi Falak,

You need to follow simple steps for storing data in SAP system

1) Create one Bapi with input parameter type XSTRING and create its MBO.

2) Once you android app capture image convert that bitmap image to BASE64 encoded string and send this string to MBO's (Xstring in MBO bigbinary) BigBinary parameter.

3) In your bapi write down logic for Decoding it into xstring ( Use FM SSFC_BASE64_DECODE or CL_HTTP_UTILITY class ) and than save it to rawstring format in database .

Please refer the following link for more information.
