Hi,

There is a FM called :

CALL METHOD logo->load_picture_from_url

EXPORTING

url = url

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 1.

URL is SAPR3://457ADA36BC860BD5E10000000A34463D.

Can I use this URL somehow in my portal side to access the Image

Hi Raja,

I am able to see you helping lot of people using BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF. Kindly let me know from where to get information about. this FM, whih does not have a documentation.

I got to see Tcode like CN22, OAOR. But I have no clue why we are using these Tcode. Why do I need to give Logical system name in my RFC.

Please help me.

Murali.

BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF is for creating attacments to BDS in your case you want to read image which you stored using OAAD . if yes for your portal webdynpro you cannot use the URL generated (mentioned in your previous post).

Re: Export Images through Function Modules

Murali_Shanmu — Sun, 10 Dec 2006 08:42:23 GMT

Yes Raja, So I cannot use BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF or any url. How do i go about. I am just looking for a functionality that will expose the images in the RFC and available for my portal applications.

Kindly help..

Murali.

Re: Export Images through Function Modules

athavanraja — Sun, 10 Dec 2006 08:44:21 GMT

you cansimply use the following FM to generate a url for the object loaded thru OAAD and use it in your appliation.

WEB_BDS_BUILD_URL_FOR_AL

Raja

Murali_Shanmu — Sun, 10 Dec 2006 22:11:13 GMT

Thanks Raja. Unfortunately I was not able to understand how to use WEB_BDS_BUILD_URL_FOR_AL. Infact I came across another FM related to this. It is HRXSS_COD_GET_DETAILS. Here I just gave pernr number and get his photo stored using OAAD Tcode. It gives me a URI something like :

http://<servername>:8001/sap/bc/contentserver/236?get&pVersion=0046&contRep=A2&docId=457B9D11554A16EAE10000000A34463D&accessMode=r&authId=CN%3DD35&expiration=20061210235026&secKey=MIHxBgkqhkiG9w0BBw

Now when I paste this on my browser, I get SSF error: Decoding not possible.

I went to SICF > BC > Content server and tried to test it. It does not give me anything. It says The page cannot be found. I rechecked the userId and Password. Could this be a problem for the above error.

Will giving me a URL allow me to access SAP Resource wiothout logon UserId & Pwd. ?

Kindly help me.

Regards,

Murali.

when you call the url generated by the system (http://<servername>:8001/sap/bc/...) you need to log in. but since you are going to call this from portal (and i assume you would have done SSO) you wont be prompted for authentication.

for SSO to work, you have to set up FQDN - fully qualified domain name the url should look like http://<servername>.<domain>.com:8001/sap/bc/.

for this you have to set up profile parameter (RZ10) icom/host_name_full

SICF - The page cannot be found.

this could be due to various reasons - like inactive service node in SICF, etc. to get the correct error message thrown by the server, in your browser go to internet options->advanced- and uncheck the check box show friendly HTTP error message and re run the application.

if you are not constrained with storing images thru OAAD. you can store the same in MIME repository (SE80) and easily access them thru url

Raja

Re: Export Images through Function Modules

Murali_Shanmu — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 07:59:06 GMT

Hi Raja,

Yes, I am using FQDN. You had already told me this in previous threads. So nowadays I am very careful with FQDN. When I changed the settings in IE, and test contentserver service, it says 'BAD REQUEST'. I am not able to see the Contentserver screen at all.

As of now I just want to test the images. So I just want a popup to come asking me for R/3 logon and after that it should show me the image. Later when i use this in Webdynpro's I will make it SSO enabled.

I am not only restricted with OAAD Tcode. I can free to upload the image anywhere. But please guide on how to upload the images and also how to use an FM to retreive the same. There are lot of postings on using FM , but since I am new to this area, I am not able to proceed.

Please help me Raja.

Regards,

Murali.

Should I create a "Service" user and add it in ContentServer service ? I even tried attaching a service user. It still gives me the same problem.

If you have stored your images as MIME objects, then you can retreive them using FM SKWF_PHIO_LOAD_CONTENT.

This will return the file as binary.

If this sounds like what you want, let me know and I'll give you more details

Hi Muralidaran,

I'm having the same problem and can't get any help for this. We're getting a "bad request" message when testing the content server. How did you resolve this.

Thanks,
