Displaying Images in the E-Commerce B2B Application

Question

Hi All,
    I have added some thumbnails to Products and i replicated the product catalog with all require settings like publishing id, but still the image is not displaying. I have added bitmap image.
   Please let me know How exactly we have to upload the images in to product and what will be the require settings to display the images in the CRM ISA Application.
Thanks in Advance...

Answer 1

If you have an image/thumb attached to the Product it will display on the catalog, but not the other way around.  I would love to have a way to mass upload images to the product, but have not seen a way yet...so, for our purposes, it's easier to upload to the catalog.
In 4.0sr1, there are two check boxes for delta replication of the catalog.  We only check the Transfer Document Content, not Publish Docs via HTTP
I usually just hit F1 on the field to see what Help is built into the system.  Both of these have good documentation.
Go to SE38 and review the program COM_PCAT_MASS_DOC_IMPORT
Here's the Help for that program in CRM4.0sr1:

Mass import of documents for product catalog items
Title
Mass Import of Multimedia Documents for Product Catalogs
Purpose
This report enables you to automatically import multimedia documents that are already available in a file system and assign these documents to product catalog items. The items are identified using a product number. An item is created if a corresponding one is not available.
A simple text file, which can be created using the normal spreadsheet programs or simple text editors, is used as a basis for the import. This text file should be made up as follows:
The first line is ignored, its content is insignificant and can, for example, contain the headings of the columns. The remaining lines correspond to the document that is to be imported and contain 3 to 4 columns with:
1. The product number of the catalog item that the document is to be added to
2. The number of the catalog area in which the item is located or in which it is to be created if it has not yet been created
3. The complete file name, including the path of the document that is to imported and assigned. Make sure that the import takes place on the frontend, that is the frontend must be able to read the file from a specified path
4. The document type of the document. This specification is optional, make sure that the document type for the catalog is valid for your application (that is to say that a corresponding folder for templates, for items of the catalog type is available)
Two formats are supported for dividing columns: "Tab-delimited", that is the columns are separated using tabulator characters or "comma separated", that is the columns are separated using semi colons (or another character that is not used in the column contents).
Selection
Required parameters are the product catalog and the name of the text file that contains information about the documents that are to be imported.
You can determine that all documents are to be considered as language-independent, with the "language-independent documents" parameter. You can specify a language in the field "document type" if the indicator is not set.
The "file format" parameter enables you to inform the system which format the text file has. You can use another separators in addition to the semi colon that is suggested as a default for: "comma separated values"
If you set the "Delete catalog contents" parameter, all of the catalog items are deleted before the import.
If you set the "Subsequently activate items" parameter, all of the items are activated after the import.
Example
Example for constructing a "comma separated values" file:
Product number;Catalog area;File;Document type
100001;AREA1;C:\My Documents\Images\100001_small.gif;CRM_THUMB
100001;AREA1;C.\My Documents\Images\100001_large.jpg;CRM_IMAGE
100002;AREA1;C:\My Documents\Images\100002_small.gif;CRM_THUMB
