Employee Photo archieving in ESS_MSS

Hi Guru's,
I wanted to know whether the employee photo's uploaded in R/3 for PA10, PA20 and PA30 header part will also come in the Who's Who services in ESS and MSS.
If not how to make it available in both with same links .
Also let me know the steps to upload employee photo's ( mass upload ) in R/3 and /or in ESS/MSS.
As from sdn link I found the report - OA_UPLOAD_AND_LINK which is mentioned helpful , but when I ran why the file path is not open for search file .
Kindly suggest.. and thanks in advance...

Hi Alok,
I wanted to know whether the employee photo's uploaded in R/3 for PA10, PA20 and PA30 header part will also come in the Who's Who services in ESS and MSS.

By using default config, ESS (Who's Who) and MSS (team information) take the photo from ERP in the same way like PA10, PA20 & PA30 tx.
Just configure the photo display in ERP, and Portal will use this config.
Also let me know the steps to upload employee photo's ( mass upload ) in R/3 and /or in ESS/MSS.
There is a lot of post and blogs with the steps to upload photo one per one.
For mass upload photo, you have to build a simple ABAP program.
Both answers you can find it in this excellent wiki:

Calling infotype 0002 in ALV report for showing employee photo

Hi all,
The requirment from business side is a report in which employees personal data shuold be shown with employee photo, I had tried for employee photo in ALV report but it didnt sucessed, then I went for other solution like calling transaction in ALV report.
In this case I am calling Infotype 0002 but the issue is that the transaction PA20 is coming with PERNR but I am not able to go directlly to infotype which shows employee Photo,please suggest any solution.
Thaks.

Hi Jay,
It is possible. Please refer the syntax for the CALL TRANSACTION
CALL TRANSACTION ta { [AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN]
                    | [USING bdc_tab [bdc_options]] }.
You can do a recording till the required page comes & call the transaction accordingly. Hope, you are aware about the same.
For example, I just had a solution to go to the roles tab in the user profile and I did as below:
    CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
    wa_bdcdata-program = 'SAPLSUU5'.
    wa_bdcdata-dynpro   = '0050'.
    wa_bdcdata-dynbegin = k_ok.
    APPEND wa_bdcdata TO it_bdcdata.
    CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
    wa_bdcdata-fnam = 'BDC_CURSOR'.
    wa_bdcdata-fval   = 'USR02-BNAME'.
    APPEND wa_bdcdata TO it_bdcdata.
    CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
    wa_bdcdata-fnam = 'USR02-BNAME'.
    wa_bdcdata-fval   = g_value.
    APPEND wa_bdcdata TO it_bdcdata.
    CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
    wa_bdcdata-fnam = 'BDC_OKCODE'.
    wa_bdcdata-fval   = 'SHOW'.
    APPEND wa_bdcdata TO it_bdcdata.
    CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
    wa_bdcdata-program = 'SAPLSUU5'.
    wa_bdcdata-dynpro   = '0100'.
    wa_bdcdata-dynbegin = k_ok.
    APPEND wa_bdcdata TO it_bdcdata.
    CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
    wa_bdcdata-fnam = 'BDC_OKCODE'.
    wa_bdcdata-fval   = '=ACTG'.
    APPEND wa_bdcdata TO it_bdcdata.
    g_opt-dismode = 'E'.
    g_opt-defsize = k_ok.
*** if user click on the User Name, call SU01
    CALL TRANSACTION 'SU01' USING it_bdcdata
                OPTIONS FROM g_opt.

Dear Vinodh
Normally there might be many reasons for pics not getting displayed, as u have said that the photo is already visible in R/3 then u need to check the following things
1) check S_WFAR_OBJ authorization object has been maintained or not.
2) Access T-code PZUSWHO & check whether the following settings are maintained or not.
Check these links as it entails how to upload the Photos

Get employee photo and display the photo in external system.

Hi,
We start to work with the portal....We want an application that display the employee photo..
The photo is the same one that appear in pa20/30...
We create the photos in OAAD and have a table repository.
How from here i can use this to build a RFC that return "data"..that from the external system we can show the photo,
Thanks.

write a RFC which uses
'HR_IMAGE_EXISTS' to get the image document id and then use 'ALINK_RFC_TABLE_GET' to image in JPG format convert the returned RAW table to xstring format using SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING pass the resulting xstring as the export parameter of this RFC .
portal application can now use this xsring to render the image.

Employee photo is not updated in ESS Who's who service

hi colleagues,
i am facing an error when i am trying to update the employee photos in the who's who service of ESS.
when new photos are added against an employee number via tcode OAAD in the ECC system, they are updated against the record and can be seen in tcode PA20. however, the new photos are not getting updated in the who's who screen. we have tried clearing the cache (figuring there might be a problem with the browser.... we are using IE 7.0) but were still unsuccessful.
any advice will be greatly appreciated.
thanx,
Amer

hello deb,
already did.... not working there as well. except for the first time during logon, it does not ask for any user id or password while viewing the photo in the portal. the photo gets updated in PA20, PA30 but does not get refreshed in the portal. the portal shows the same old photo.
any comments or advice would be helpful.
thanx...

Employee Photo Options?

All,
We are currently using a simple web repository to surface employee photos in SAP and non-sap content. We've configured ArchiveLink based employee photos in our sandbox environment and have an idea how that works. On one hand we'd like to pursue a standard SAP based solution for photos but are concerned that performance could suffer as the biggest consumer of our employee photos is SharePoint and SharePoint Search, sometimes serving up 25-100 photos per page. Does anyone have any experience with performance issues with employee photos in ArchiveLink? The archive.dll will prevent browser caching being a benefit. Any experiences in this area?
Also, what other options have been explored? Is anyone aware of any non-ArchiveLink based architectures that would be SAP supported, (work with sap content out of the box, but be performance friendly for O-SAP apps)? Anyone have experiences with employee photo architectures with Active Directory based photos or web repository, again that would be SAP supported and work with SAP content out of the box?
Any insights, links would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug

Two SAP "ways" that are supported with standard services (like Who's Who from ESS)...
1. ArchiveLink (as you are well aware)
2. Make use of KM from the portal (since KM is basically a content server plus much more)...(*there is a portal equivalent to Who's Who that you can find info on)
#2 makes it much better from a performance standpoint. Also, SharePoint should be able to utilize the same repository.

Employee Photo - External HTTP service

Hi all,
currently I trying to setup the Employee photo dysplay in the portal Iview photo and in PA20/30 transaction. My problem is that I have the requirement to use an external http service that doesn't supports SAP Content Server HTTP Interface and it requires Basic authentication.
The access to the picture can be done by a direct url http://hostname/path/pernr.jpg ou using a dll service, http://hostname/path/service.dll?docid=pernr.
Does anyone ever face a similar problem, is there a way to implement this using "standard" features?
For example put the access logic to the picture in a function module or other object, and setup the z* object has the content server implementation.
Thanks and best regards,
Paulo Ruivo

Hello
Where are you trying to store the photos? In an external storage system or in the database?
If you are using an external storage system, please note that you must use either a different content server installation for each system, or at least a different content repository.
In case you are using the database storage, then make sure you have followed all the instructions from the note 595563 to do this. In case everything is fine, please go to OAC0 and test the connection to your content repository.
Additionaly please ensure that you have the lastest version of SAPHTTP installed on your system. Please review the SAP note 615354 for more information on this.
Thanks and Kind Regards

Employee photo is causing one of our crystal reports to crash

Good Afternoon,
I'm currently using Crystal report engine version 9.2.3.884 as part of a Peoplesoft package.
I have created a new report using the PeopleSoft crystal ODBC driver delivered within the package.
One of the field retrieved contains the employee photo defined in Oracle DB as a BLOB field.
When I drag and drop the employee photo into the report, it crashes the application.
I've first checked if the photo was corrupted using JPEGsnoop.exe. The photo used is not corrupted.
After running a couple of tests I have found a workaround.
Take a print screen of the employee photo using snag it tool, copy it into MSPaint, save the photo with the same name, load the new version into oracle and drag the photo into my crystal report.
This new picture didn't crash the application.
In order to make sure that the issue was not due to the PeopleSoft ODBC driver, I ran the same test using the Oracle ODBC driver. It returned the same result.
I would like to understand why the original picture is causing my crystal report to crash.
Is there any existing fix related to this issue? Otherwise I would like to know how to report this issue to crystal report developers?
If you want some more detailed information (the employee photo I'm using) please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your support,
Best Regards.

Hi Sean,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
That's right it could be related to memory usage. I have already got this issue before, but the message is different. When I'm running my crashing test, I'm dealing with one photo only (6 Ko JPG format).
When I take a print screen of the photo causing my crystal report to crash, save it as the same format JPG using MS Paint, load it into oracle blob table and re-run the report using the new photo it works perfectly fine.
Prior to this I made sure that the photo was not corrupted using JPEGsnoop.exe.
If you want to I can give you the two JPG samples I'm using and a detailed explanation of the manipulation I'm doing.
Thanks,
Best Regards.
