User Photo Administration (mass upload) iview doesn't run

Hello,
I'm trying to mass upload lots of pictures about employees to show on CLP the photo detail. I've been searching for a long time the right way to do it through the standard User Photo Administration (mass upload) iview but not success for me.
I've checked this message really similar to mine but not solve my problem:
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1063236&tstart=0
The iview properties are set to run as explain:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/09/d7fe40be6eef23e10000000a155106/content.htm
This is my scenario:
EP7 sp15
i've got a folder on my filesystem (c:\photos). In this folder i have two files
a) mapping.properties.txt
inside filled with:
emp10110=10110
USER.CORP_LDAP.emp10110=10110
b) 10010.JPG
After starting the task the photo was not updated and there was nothing in the application log!?
What could be the problem? I can add the file manually but not through mass upload iview.
Has anybody used the User Photo Administration (mass upload) iview ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Instead of use User Photo Administration (Mass upload) using a mapping.properties file, forget it and use a easy DOS script (lots of examples on google) to rename all files on your folder with the user ID of employees. Then you'll get a folder with the employees pictures with ID user as name file.
If  your pictures are set like Required Picture Settings on your system(size,dimensions,...) , now you will upload files without problems directly.

  • IAC iview doesn't run when change to another and come back

    Hi,
    I've defined an IAC iview tha calls an ITS services (parameters ~webgui = 1, ~generatedynpro = 1, ~simpletransaction = 1, ~transaction = ).
    First time I run this iview, it runs well. I run another iview and when I come back to the first one (IAC iview), it doesn't run, it shows me a r/3 screen that let me access r/3 menu, so it doesn't run my ITS service.
    I'm using ECC (ITS integrated) and I'm not using SSO.
    Any idea. All contributions will be appreciated.
    Thanks a lot.
    Best regards,
    Iván.

    Hello Iván,
    I think you meant ~singletransaction right?  If so please remove this parameter and try again.

  • Mass upload of user photos in EP

    Hi All,
    I have to do a mass upload of user photos in EP. I tried it in two ways.
    1.     In a network folder say
    173.XX.XX.XXUserPhotos, I stored the photos and then I used the Mass photo upload iview, which is available inside collaboration demo role.
    2.     I created a new task and given the below parameters,
    1.     Task nameà MyPhotUpload
    2.     Upload from folder à
    173.XX.XX.XXUserPhotos
    3.     Photo Typeà NORMAL
    I clicked on save and then I run the task. I didnu2019t got any errors, at the same time I didnu2019t got any output also.
    Then I tried it this way.
    I created a nework path in System Administration à System Configuration à KM à CMà Global Services à Network Path (really sorry if I am being stupid)
    Here I specified the network path and the login credential required to access this folder and named this network path as u201CMyNetWrkPathu201D
    Now, I came back to mass upload ivew, there I deleted the old task and created a new task with
    a.     Task Name à MyPhotoUpload2
    b.     Upload from folder à MyNetWrkPath
    c.     Photo Typeà NORMAL
    I clicked on Save and then I run the task. Again the same result. No errors no success.
    PS: I already specified the photo type check and photo size check in System Administration à System Configuration à KM à CMà Global Services àUserPhoto
    Somebody please help me.

    Hi,
    it seems the portal doesn't have permissions to read contents from this physical folder.
    Try to import a sample photo with "apply checked conditions" unchecked in mass upload iView.
    If that doesn't help then try to increase the trace level to INFO for this app in Visual Administrator and see what is causing
    the problems.
    The location is com.sap.netweaver.kmc.people.photo.admin .
    Eventuallly try to import files from local folder instead of network share.
    Hope this helps.

  • User photo Iview

    Hello everybody,
    I've a problem with the user photo iView, when you assign the photo in the preview of the iview in the PCD it works, but under a role when you assign the photo it change sometimes only...it doesn't work well!
    Anyone has this problem?
    It's something about the cache?
    It's a bug of the iView?
    Any solution?
    Thanks,
    Guillermo.

    Hi,
    I foundo a solution for the problem with the browser cache.
    The
    SAPNote 1001210
    (https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1001210) tell us that it has been a design error.
    Affected versions
    - NW04 SPS 19
    - NW04s SPS 10 to SPS 11
    Solutions -  The issue is solved with the following deliveries
           NW04 SP 20
           NW04s SP 12
    - Possible workaround (by deleting the client cache)
    This is the body of the SAPNote 1001210, I hope this help you:
    +Note 1001210 - User Photo (browser) cache
    Note Language: Inglés
    Version: 4
    Validity: valid since 20.02.2007 
    Symptom
    User Photos do not get updated when saved with the User Photo Self Service, User Photo Administration or User Photo Mass Upload.
    The old user photo is still displayed for another 24 hours after the update was done.
    No errors or warnings are logged
    Reason and Prerequisites Reason:
    Design error
    The old photo from the BROWSER cache is still displayed
    Affected versions:
    KMC Netweaver 04 SPS 19
    KMC Netweaver 04s SPS 10 to SPS 11
    SCENARIO DESCRIPTION:
    The first time a User Photo is displayed, it is cached in the browser. If the user has no photo, the default (no photo) is cached. The cache is configured for 24 hours.
    The User Photos can be updated, but they will not appear until the cache of the browser expires.
    Solution
    A.) The issue is solved with the following deliveries:
    KMC NW04 SP 20
    KMC NW04s SP 12
    B.) Possible workaround for earlier releases:
    For most browsers it is possible to delete the offline content or at least the cached user photos. For Internet Explorer they are stored in files with the following name: http://localhost:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.netweaver. kmc.people.UserPhotoRenderer?mode=NORMAL&userid=USER.PRIVATE_DATASOURCE.un%3A
    IE steps: Tools -> Internet Options -> Temporary Internet Files -> Settings -> View Files
    Once the client cache is deleted the new photo will be called with the next server request.+

  • Linked (not uploaded) User Photos???

    Hello!
    We have a problem where we want our users to have photos attached to their profiles for collaboration etc, but we DO NOT want to upload photos to our current portal server.
    Unfortunately our server space is at a premium.
    Is there a way to avoid actually uploading the photos, but instead link to them in a seperate location on a seperate server?
    I have reviewed the three iViews for uploading photos (i.e. mass upload, administrative upload, and self service) and these aren't going to be sufficient for what we need to do.
    Anyone have any ideas on how this might be accomplished??
    I'll award points for helpful answers!
    Thanks!
    Edited by: Beau Bourgeois on Apr 22, 2008 4:29 PM

    Ok.
    I'm a bit new to KM etc. If these photos are stored in KM under /um, what does that correspond to; i.e. are these photos etc stored in the database, or somewhere on the OS filesystem?
    thanks for your help.

  • Mass Upload of Photos in Portal

    Hi,
    I am trying to do mass upload of JPEG Photos.
    I have tried using User Self Service and that works fine.
    Reqmnt is that administrator needs to upload 100 photos as a bulk for each user.
    I have read the document on help.sap.com and it certainly gave me few insights but if anyone has done this before, i would like to steps on how to go about doing this.
    Regards,
    Dev

    Hi;
    Assign yourself to the role
    pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/Collaboration/DemoRole
    After that you will have the Link
    "Collaboration Demo\People Centric"
    This gives you the possibility to make a manual or
    mass upload of user photos.

  • User Photo physical location in Who Is Who iView

    Hi ,
    Could you please let me know where will be the user photo physical location after uploading with Who Is Who iView.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    from UserPhotoService class I can see method getPhoto, where:
    public InputStream getPhoto(String uniqueID, String type)  {
    IUser user = getReadOnlyUser(uniqueID);
    byte photo[] = user.getBinaryAttribute("com.sap.ip.collaboration.ume", "photo" + type);
    return new ByteArrayInputStream(photo);
    So I would assume, that the photo is uploaded into the UME.

    Hi Patrick,
    Generally it is not suggested to Upload Photograph using Mass Upload.... normally it is one to one ... one perer at a time.
    But if its too urgent and critical then fallow this steps.
    1) Store the Photograph of the Employee as the PERNR.JPG (PERNR = EMPLPYEES PERSONNEL NUMBER) at a predifined location.
    2) Have a text file with all the pernr for whom you want to upload the photo and the JPGs you have in the folder.
    3) Use this Function module with the loop for all the PERNR
    * Function module to update Tran OAAD
    * Create file path (Directory)-(Employee No.).JPG
        CONCATENATE 'dir where the file is stored' wa_pernr-pernr '.' 'jpg' INTO lw_path.
    * Assign Values
        lw_ar_object  = text-002.         "HRICOLFOTO
        lw_object_id  = wa_pernr-pernr.
        lw_sap_object = text-003.         "PREL
        lw_doc_type   = text-004.         "JPG
        CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIV_CREATE_FILE'
          EXPORTING
            ar_object                     = lw_ar_object
    *   DEL_DATE                      =
            object_id                     = lw_object_id
            sap_object                    = lw_sap_object
            doc_type                      = lw_doc_type
            path                          = lw_path
         EXCEPTIONS
           error_conectiontable          = 1
           error_parameter               = 2
           error_archiv                  = 3
           error_upload                  = 4
           error_kernel                  = 5
           no_entry_possible             = 6
           error_comunicationtable       = 7
           OTHERS                        = 8
        IF sy-subrc <> 0.
          MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
                  WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
        ENDIF.
    This will help you to create the Archive link.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Mass upload of photo in Archive link

    Hi.
    We have to do a mass-upload of photos in the Archivelink (OAAD).
    Any standard program to do this, or any other clues anyone please?
    Thanks in adv.

    Hi,
    just write a report and combine the function modules:
    SCMS_UPLOAD for uploading from a shared backend path
    SCMS_DOC_CREATE for storage of a binary table in a content repository (the ID of the content repository must be ArchiveLink compliant meaning a two letters ID).
    ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT to write the connection in the ArchiveLink table. Here, you must know your relevant business object (SAP_OBJECT) your doctype (AR_OBJECT) and your OBJECT_ID.
    I assume that you need this for HR so here your SAP_OBJECT is PREL and your AR_OBJECT should be HRICOLFOTO
    Now, you report must loop over the files and execute the upper function modules.
    I hope that helps a bit
    Best regards
