Get employee photos

Hello everyone,
I have a java portal that comunicates with SAP to use a few RFC functions.
I would like to use the employee photos that we can see on transaction pa30 to appear on my website.
Is there a specific url, table, or something like that, from where i can extract path info from my jpeg files that were uploaded?

Still no help... Is it impossible to extract the path of a image file via any ABAP function?
I mean... look at a web page. You only have to right-click->properties, et voilá. There's your url pathway.
Can we do anything like this here ?

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.

Getting error ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED when retrieving employee photo

Hi,
We are using the who's who service in SAP ESS to retrieve the employee photo.
We got the error ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED.
This function used to be working fine until we change our firewall recently.
Can anybody help please ?
Thanks.

sm,
yes, all of your clients have to reach the content server, because the portal provides them with a http-link to the content server only.
the hostname and port are defined in OAC0. Doubleclick the entry that is used for your photos. On the next screen there are the used "HTTP-Server" and "Port" entries.
In such scenarios, maybe its useful to use reverse proxies. In that case your firewall could be maintained easier.

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.

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 upload in portal and to be saved in infotype 0002

Hi Everyone,
       I got an requirement where in ESS Portal, through "Change Own Data" link, employee is uploading his photo and it has to be saved in infotype 0002. Below are the doubts i have,
1. There is no field for photo in infotype 0002, so how it will be saved in 0002.
2. After uploading and clicking preview button, error was raising saying 'Error when archiving the photo'.
3. I seen in many forums that the employee photo is visible from PA30. how it will be visible in that tcode ?

Hi Chris McNarney,
      Sorry for long delay for replying.. According to you,
1. I checked the service under /default_host/sap/bc/conentserver/ it was activated and moreover below is the logon data,
        Client           500
     User             XXXXXX
     Language
     Password Status Set
and what is the use of this logon data..
2. According to your link [https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/Add%20Employee%20Photo%20on%20Infotype%200002?showChildren=false|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/Add%20Employee%20Photo%20on%20Infotype%200002?showChildren=false],
there it has 4.7 version in that they told to create A2 repository with Tcode: OAC0 with details,,
     While creating the repository, keep the Document Area blank, Storage type as R/3 database, Rep. Sub-type will appear as Normal by default, Version No. as 0046 and in Contents table put 'SDOKCONT1' as the table name.
    With that screen im am not able to find table name field to put 'SDOKCONT1' as input and moreover SAP system database is there instead of getting R/3 database for storage type. Screen detilas below,
