Passing binary data to SAP BC

I want to pass raw bytes to the Business Connector (e.g. a sequence of bytes representing an image stored in some document management system) via an RFC call from a SAP R/3 4.6C.
I have created a function module in R/3 that takes an XSTRING as an import parameter. When I create a map for that module in Business Connector 4.7, the corresponding parameter is of type String. Consequently, when I execute the inbound call (from the BC point of view), the bytes get converted into meaningless characters (according to some unknown encoding, probably the BC server's platform default).
So how can I create a function map that has a byte array as argument?

Try using the function modules SCMS_binary_to_xstring, scms_xstring_to_binary etc..

How to pass tables data from SAP script to the routine.

Hi,
I have standard program RPCTEAL0_01 which calls a SAP script form(Custom) to print the form.
Now I have to add some additional functionality to change the values in the form. Since it is custom form I can add ROUTINE and then pass the values to the custom program to modify the variables.
My concern here, I would like to pass the tables like RT,CRT to the custom program via form.
Is this possible? RT and CRT filled by standard progam.

Hi, The suggested option is not working.
Actually I am using the below code in SCRIPT
/: PERFORM CAL_2008 IN PROGRAM ZHR_TEST1
/: USING &PER_NO&
/: CHANGING &W12&
/: ENDPERFORM
and calling form in ZHR_TEST1. But this will pass only variables. Now my requirement is to pass tables also.

SAP DMS: Read document binary data stored in a 3rd party repository

Hi,
I'm totally new regarding SAP DMS and I'm a bit confused about what can or can't do, so maybe the question will be quite generic and unclear.
The scenario in my company is that we have multiple repository servers where we store our documents. When a document is created or modified in one of these repositories a new record is also created/modified in SAP DMS, but this DMS entry only contains the basic metadata information and a URL link to the document, not the content. When the user is in SAP DMS, the only way to access the document content, is via the link that will open the browser outside of SAP GUI and access the repository data using the laptop credentials.
I would like to know if DMS provides some kind of interface to be able to access the document content from SAP. Now we only have this unidirectional interface from the repository that creates the record in DMS with the metadata but there is nothing to retrieve the content.
Our main purpose is that we want to download all the files linked to a user (we have a logic to determine if a DMS file is linked to a user). The content of these files may be stored in different content repositories. So I would like to read the binary data in SAP from the different repositories and then be able to download it.
Thank you in advance for your help.
- Marçal

Hi Sagar,
This FM can't work since there is nothing configured in SAP to access to the file content. The DMS record only has a URL pointing to it.
Actually what I want to know is what do I have to configure in SAP in order to be able to use a FM like the one you mentioned.

How to pass byte array / binary data to a webservice as parameter in osb

i have a webservice that has a byte array input parameter. i tried to use this WS in a message flow via service-callout. the problem i encountered is the following: since webservice call by using service-callout requires you to use an xml input as part of soap message, i insert both of $body/ctx:binary-content and $body/ctx:binary-content/@ref variables individually into this xml-message to pass binary-data to WS. When i debug the code, i see that it make calls to WS with $body/ctx:binary-content/@ref parameter, but the byte array passed is empty(not NULL)...
note: i tried java-callut instead of service-called and used $body/ctx:binary-content as input parameter it worked. i think, this is because java-callout doesnt need an xml input and enable to take variables as is...
can anybody help me to solve the problem with service-callout please?
here is the input i use to call ws with service-callout method...
<iso2Xml xmlns="http://www.mycompany.com.tr">
<request>{$body/ctx:binary-content/@ref}</request>
</iso2Xml>
and this is my WS's signature:
@WebMethod
public String iso2Xml(byte[] request)

Export data from SAP R/3 to Xcelsius

Dear Experts
Im new to Xcelsius, my requirement is to pass a data from sap r/3 database table to Xcelsius,
Is it possible to do this?
Thanks & Regards
Arun.P

Like Neel said, you need Live Office. Basically you will have to create a Crystal Report with the R3 Data and then use live office to fetch that data from Xcelsius. That means you will also be needing a BusinessObjects Enterprise Server.

Is it possible to Pass Binary Image Data to Logical DSP via ALDSP Control?

I have run into an issue trying to pass binary image data (hexBinary in the WSDL) from WLI's ALDSP Control to a logical service in ALDSP 3.0. I was wondering if anyone has done this successfully, and if so, can you offer any advice?
The following error is generated:
Caused by: com.bea.dsp.das.exception.DASException: weblogic.xml.query.exceptions.XQueryTypeException: {err}XP0006: "element {commonj.sdo}datagraph { {commonj.sdo}DataGraphType }": bad value for type element {http://idexx.com/lims/domain/image}Image { {http://idexx.com/lims/domain/image}Image }*
at com.bea.dsp.das.ejb.EJBClient.invokeOperation(EJBClient.java:160)
The snippet of code that I am using in the WLI to communicate with the ALDSP control is:
try {
byte[] bytes2;
bytes2 = reportText.getBytes("UTF-8");
Image image =createNewImage();
image.setImage(bytes2);
image.setImageFormat("XML");
image.setImageType("RESULTS REPORT");
image.setOwningLabId( owningLabId);
image.setExpirationType("EXPA");
image.setAddedBy (BigInteger.ONE);
image.setScanDate(XMLHelper.toXSDDateTimeFormat(new Date()));
Image[] sdos = new Image[1];
sdos[0]= image;
logDebug(sdoHelper. dataObjectToXml(image));
System.out.println(sdoHelper. dataObjectToXml(image));
imageDSPControlFile.createImage(sdos);
sdoHelper. dataObjectToXml(image);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
throw new RuntimeException(e.getCause());
Lastly, the WSDL schema is as follows:

Passing Video (Binary Data) to a webService

Hi
I have 11g R2 and the webservices are working fine for non binary data.
Has anyone used a webservice to receive Video(Binary) data?
The SOAP XML definition does NOT handle BLOBs - what types in the oracle procedure are converted to
Binary?
Regards
Chris

Hi
We are building a demo system to test this out.
So I can make sure the video is sent in chunks - probably a few Meg to start with but we can start smaller.
I would like to use a procedure something like:
create_event(p_event_type in varchar2,
p_video_chunk IN ???);
What Oracle Type to use that the SOAP WebService will understand?
I thought XMLTYPE - but not sure how to put the Binary data into the XML.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards
Chris

Where is the binary data of this icon stored and retrieved from Application server?

Hello guys,
Today I observed one phenomenon and could not explain it per my knowledge.
I have one url which points to an icon in application server:
https://<host name>:44301/sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/themes/sap_corbu/common/libs/Icon/SuccessMessage.gif
I could successfully open it via chrome:
and after that I could see an entry in ICM server cache. Everything works perfectly.
Then I tried to check this icon in mime browser in SE80. To my surprise, the folder /sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/themes is empty.
However, the ICM cache shows that there is a subfolder called "sap_corbu" under "themes" folder. But why I cannot find it in mime browser?
Then I write a report to retrieve the binary data of icon via CL_HTTP_CLIENT, and clear the ICM buffer via tcode SMICM.
I expect this time some database table will be queried to load the content of the icon, since now the buffer is not available.
To my surprise again, in SAT no database table is involved.
So now I am confused: since I have already cleared the ICM server cache, where does the icon binary data come from when I run the report to access the icon?
Best regards,
Jerry

Hello guys,
one colleague today told me that there is a zip file "ur_mimes_nw7.zip" in MIME repository /PUBLIC/BC/UR/ur_mines_nw7.zip. I download it locally and unzip it and indeed find many theme folders including sap_corbu folder and its resource files. So I guess there must be some logic done in web application server which will unzip this archive file and put each theme folder to the corresponding folders in application server. I would assume those logic are done outside ABAP stack side, this is the reason I cannot find any hint of them in ABAP backend via tcode SAT even I clear both client and server side cache.
Best regards,
Jerry

How do you pass the data from a SBO process to a crystal report laout

Hi Everyone
Can someone please assist or direct me to documentation that could be of help.
I do production orders in SBO.
I have a crystal report that I have imported as a layout to print these production orders.
The report was developed the normal way, linking to the tables and returning data(all data for all production orders ever done)
The production print option is set to make use of this layout.
What I would like to see is that when I create production order 12345 and click on print preview I get the data of the mentioned order only displayed in my crystal layout(that is set to default)
What I get however is all the data from the tables.
Where am I going wrong. With my design already or is there a different way to pass the data to my report/layout direct from my SBO production order screen
This is quite urgen
Regards
Burger

Hi All
The solution i was looking for is:
In Crystal create the parameter called DocKey@
This is recognized by sap and the active document number is passed to the report layout.
In crystal itself also do a filter {<Table>.<Column Name>} = {?DocKey}
So simple once you know how.
Hope this help someone else that is as stuck as I was.

Hi!
Many thanks for your answer.
Via BD87 on BW system I detect that all the IDOC's (type: RSRQST) will be received from SAP ECC system.
Via tcode SM58 I could not detect any entries.
However the loading status from yesterday is set to "red".
The errors are:
