How to add pictures in CCM for items in SRM_EXTRAXTED_CATLG

Question

Hi guys (and girls of course),
Best wishes for 2007 for all of you.
I've got following issue I've been struggling with: I'm trying to add a picture to items in CCM, but for items coming from R3 (replicated to SRM). I want to use the standard PICTURE/URL field for this ('complex' data type)
(procedure for uploading R/3-materials is currently already working)
I've been checking out following BADI's:
<u>/CCM/IF_EX_CTLG_ENRICHMENT~ENRICH_ITEM</u>
I have found an example for implementing this in another thread and this seems to work for 'simple' characteristics, eg /CCM/CONTRACT_ID as mentioned in the example)
<u>IF_EX_BBP_CCM_CHAR_MAINT~VALUATE_PRODUCT</u>
for additional customer-characteristics this works fine, also for simple standard characteristics (eg /CCM/MPN) this works fine.
But in both cases i seem to be unable to fill the complex characteristic /CCM/PICTURE (subfield /CCM/URL). I tried to use the same syntax as in the CSV-load file (ie /CCM/PICTURE#/CCM/URL) but it's not working as i expect.
When i add this info manually to the field, the picture shows as expected. (But adding this info manually is not an option of course.)
Any thoughts or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ,
I was not active on SDN for some time hence did not see yr thread.
We had used SRM_EXTRACTED_CATALOG in our earlier project and managed to get pictures for all the items in shopping.
The path we took:
with the report BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG get the SRM_EXTRACTED_CATALOG in CAT
map the relevant categories in SRM_EXTARCTED_CATALOG to /CCM/MASTER_CATALOG.
import all the picture JPEG files for all the items in the MIME of server
SE80->MIME repository -> drill down to BSP/SAP/BC/CCM (sorry i don't remember the exact path and I don' t have the system now) -> create yr own folder-> import all the JPEG files to this folder.
now derive a URL for each item in a format: http:
server name.domain name\services (sap\bc\bsp\cat\yr folder name\file name)
validate this URL in IE
it should derive the picture from the MIME of yr server and show you on screen
now go to mastrer catalog ->open the chara "image" for each item -> paste this url and type (JPEG) -> and save the item
this should give picture of each item when you are shopping in EBP as preview and in detail also
it's somewhat cubersome to paster those URLs but it's one time activity.
Helpful?
