Answer 1

hi
Please note, these instructions were given to me so am now giving them to the community. I do hope they help someone. Kudos to the orginal author! someone on sapfans.com
1. Create a number range for SAP Archive Link :
IMG>Basis Components>Basis Services>SAP Archive Link>Basic Settings>Maintain number ranges.
Tcode: OANR
Create range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 without the external number flag.
2. Document type HRICOLFOTO must exist with document class JPG.
IMG>Basis Components>Basis Services>SAP Archive Link>System Settings>Maintain document types.
Table: TOAVE
Tcode: OAC2
3. Document type HRICOLFOTO must be linked to object type PREL and IT0002.
IMG>Personnel Management>Personnel Administration>Tools>Optical Archiving>Set up Optical Archiving in HR.
View: V_T585O,
In all three columns there are minuses, don't put a flag in the check box.
4. Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO and object type PREL.
IMG>Basis Components>Basis Services>SAP Archive Link>Basic Settings>Maintain Links.
Table: TOAOM_C,
Tcode: OAC3
Content Repository
Create a content repository with storage type FILE archive.
Transaction code OAC0
IMG: Basis Components --> Basis Services --> SAP Archive Link --> Basic Settings --> Maintain content repositories
Swap from display to amend. Select a current entry and ‘copy’ or just hit ‘create’. Then select .
Then fill in the details as below:
Choose a two character name – can use Zx (where x is a number) if you wish to use the customer namespace
Choose the relevant description
Set DocArea to be ‘Archive Link’
Storage type – set to R/3 Database
Protocol – leave blank
Choose Version no. 0046 (or the latest one that is available)
Contents table – set this to SDOKCONT1（这个TABLE结构说明）
Basic Path – c:\ (this should be set to where the photos are all held)
Archive Path – c:\ (this is the area from where the photos are retrieved)
Output Device – can leave blank
Enter the path name where the photos are to be loaded from. Note this is for loading only. When the photos are linked into the sap system (see later), actually, SAP takes a ‘copy’ and stores it elsewhere. The path may only need to be entered to ‘Arch.path’, but entering to all three doesn’t seem to hurt.
5. Create this content repository with storage type FILE archive.
IMG>Basis Components>Basis Services>SAP Archive Link>Basic Settings>Maintain content repositories.
Tcode: OAC0
Storage type FILE archive can be attained by clicking on the field Storage type and clicking somewhere else in the screen with the right mouse button. Choose Possible entries and only then you get a list of all values. FILE Archive is entry number 08. Choose Version no. 0031 and Archive path something (e.g. C .
6. Link photo to personnel number.
Menu>Tools>Business Documents>Miscellaneous>Stored Documents.
Tcode: OAAD
Click on the Create button. Business object PREL and Docyment type HRICOLFOTO. Click on create (fill in the right personnel number in the pop up and click Continue). Choose the photo (as a JPG file) from the place where it is saved (e.g. hard disk). SAP will notify that the Stored Document was created succesfully. Photo is visible via PA10, PA20, PA30, PA40. Double-click to magnify photo.
To delete archived document :
Tcode: OAAD
click Find. In docyment type field select HRICOLFOTO and after execute you get a list of all documents. Select appropriate document and click on delete icon.
4.7 Version
1).Use SICF Tcode: that displays lot of services. Under sap --> bc there is a service called content server interface. Activate this service.
Here you activate the Content Server Interface.
First you need to create a user profile – with sufficient authorisations to carry out the processes which are done by the system in the background. Ideally this should be a background user for a notional/dummy user. You can use your own user ID after which SAP will warn you that this is a dialogue user account. If you do use your own user ID, change it as soon as you have tested the config. Once you have finished the project, the chances are that your user account will be deleted from the system which will subsequently stop this service from working.
Double-click on “content server” in the left hand tree structure. You can find it under default_host --> sap --> bc --> content server
Once you have done this click on the refresh icon and make sure that the service is activated. If it is activated, the writing should be in bold (as opposed to greyed out)
Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO in object type PREL
Transaction code: OAC3
Table TOAOM_C
Set the ‘Content Repository’ field to the one you set up in the step above.
Note the Ret.per. field is the retention period for the photo in MONTHS. (so the default is 833 years and 3 months!)
2).Now Create the A2 repository with Tcode: OAC0.
Click on the Create – Store and Assign button. Enter Business Object PREL and Document Type HRICOLFOTO. Click on create(F8).
Enter the Personnel Number of the employee you want to link the photo to. Choose also the infotype that you wish the photo to be displayed on (not sure how relevant this is. It works if you use 0002 but should also work if left blank. Suspect is only relevant if you wanted to store different photos for different infotypes)
Click on Continue.
Enter the path and filename of the photo. The dropdown will allow you to navigate to the appropriate directory.
SAP will notify that the Stored document is created successfully and you end up with something like:
If you get an error 401 to do with missing authorisations, then try and redo the above step. It often only happens the first time you try and load the photo.
3).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.
4).Now upload the picture using Tcode: OAAD
i hope will help for you!
