Mass upload of employee photos in OAOH

Dear all,
In OAOH transaction, if you type in the business object PREL, and doc type HRICOLFOTO, a small dialog box appear and you type in the employee no. Afterwards, another window dialog box appear prompting the file name/path....
I would like to know if there is any method to mass upload thousands of employee photos, since batch input does not work in the file/path selection screen (window's dialog box)
Thanks a lot for your help !

Hi Patrick,
Generally it is not suggested to Upload Photograph using Mass Upload.... normally it is one to one ... one perer at a time.
But if its too urgent and critical then fallow this steps.
1) Store the Photograph of the Employee as the PERNR.JPG (PERNR = EMPLPYEES PERSONNEL NUMBER) at a predifined location.
2) Have a text file with all the pernr for whom you want to upload the photo and the JPGs you have in the folder.
3) Use this Function module with the loop for all the PERNR
* Function module to update Tran OAAD
* Create file path (Directory)-(Employee No.).JPG
    CONCATENATE 'dir where the file is stored' wa_pernr-pernr '.' 'jpg' INTO lw_path.
* Assign Values
    lw_ar_object = text-002.         "HRICOLFOTO
    lw_object_id = wa_pernr-pernr.
    lw_sap_object = text-003.         "PREL
    lw_doc_type   = text-004.         "JPG
    CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIV_CREATE_FILE'
      EXPORTING
        ar_object                     = lw_ar_object
*   DEL_DATE                      =
        object_id                     = lw_object_id
        sap_object                    = lw_sap_object
        doc_type                      = lw_doc_type
        path                          = lw_path
     EXCEPTIONS
       error_conectiontable          = 1
       error_parameter               = 2
       error_archiv                  = 3
       error_upload                  = 4
       error_kernel                  = 5
       no_entry_possible             = 6
       error_comunicationtable       = 7

This will help you to create the Archive link.
Hope this helps you.

Mass Upload of DIR's through LSMW

Hi All
I have few queries in mass uplaoding of DIRs through LSMW..
1) Status : I have 3 preceding status before the final "Approved" status and the status is locked.. So how to set the final status initally, as we cannot have both "Initial" and locked status together.
2) The file names - what is standard procedure in giving the path of files.. Mentioning the path of File names for each files would be tremendous task.. So is there any easy way?
Regards
Aby

hi,
about your Q1
I am not sure from your project context but you may try this;
we have to prepare statuswise different mass uploading files, same time you have to set the requeired status to intial staus removing all predecessor or successors for time being. Once you done with uploading again set the system to required status network and status types to individual status.
Please let me know if its works for you, I believe this should be done before go live phase.
Thanks

Mass upload of photo in Archive link

Hi.
We have to do a mass-upload of photos in the Archivelink (OAAD).
Any standard program to do this, or any other clues anyone please?
Thanks in adv.

Hi,
just write a report and combine the function modules:
SCMS_UPLOAD for uploading from a shared backend path
SCMS_DOC_CREATE for storage of a binary table in a content repository (the ID of the content repository must be ArchiveLink compliant meaning a two letters ID).
ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT to write the connection in the ArchiveLink table. Here, you must know your relevant business object (SAP_OBJECT) your doctype (AR_OBJECT) and your OBJECT_ID.
I assume that you need this for HR so here your SAP_OBJECT is PREL and your AR_OBJECT should be HRICOLFOTO
Now, you report must loop over the files and execute the upper function modules.
I hope that helps a bit
Best regards
Torsten

Mass upload of user photos in EP

Hi All,
I have to do a mass upload of user photos in EP. I tried it in two ways.
1.     In a network folder say
173.XX.XX.XXUserPhotos, I stored the photos and then I used the Mass photo upload iview, which is available inside collaboration demo role.
2.     I created a new task and given the below parameters,
1.     Task nameà MyPhotUpload
2.     Upload from folder à
173.XX.XX.XXUserPhotos
3.     Photo Typeà NORMAL
I clicked on save and then I run the task. I didnu2019t got any errors, at the same time I didnu2019t got any output also.
Then I tried it this way.
I created a nework path in System Administration à System Configuration à KM à CMà Global Services à Network Path (really sorry if I am being stupid)
Here I specified the network path and the login credential required to access this folder and named this network path as u201CMyNetWrkPathu201D
Now, I came back to mass upload ivew, there I deleted the old task and created a new task with
a.     Task Name à MyPhotoUpload2
b.     Upload from folder à MyNetWrkPath
c.     Photo Typeà NORMAL
I clicked on Save and then I run the task. Again the same result. No errors no success.
PS: I already specified the photo type check and photo size check in System Administration à System Configuration à KM à CMà Global Services àUserPhoto
Somebody please help me.

SrinivaS

Hi,
it seems the portal doesn't have permissions to read contents from this physical folder.
Try to import a sample photo with "apply checked conditions" unchecked in mass upload iView.
If that doesn't help then try to increase the trace level to INFO for this app in Visual Administrator and see what is causing
the problems.
The location is com.sap.netweaver.kmc.people.photo.admin .
Eventuallly try to import files from local folder instead of network share.
Hope this helps.

Mass upload for employee photos (IT0002)

Hi I would like to do a mass upload of employee pics to R/3 . I have tried the FM, ARCHIV_CREATE_FILE and it was uploaded successfully but I'm unable to specify the infotype. which for my case I would need it to be in IT0002.
I've tried the BDC program
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/erphcm/add%2bemployee%2bphoto%2bon%2binfotype%2b0002
But the pics are still not appearing.
Anyone has this issue befofe?

yes. I have tried to upload it manually and it is working. But when I run the program it doesn't work. Could it be the path that I need to specify? Because the client uses IXOS software(links with the 4.6c) to upload the pics and doc. I'm not sure is this the reason it is not working.

Mass Upload Photo Employee

Hi experts!
We have an excel with this information:
-Photo file path
-PERNR
Example:
PATH                   PERN
C:\TEMP\1.JPG    00101800
C:\TEMP\2.JPG    00101801
We need mass upload to ArchiveLink every employee photo.
I've found the report OA_UPLOAD_AND_LINK but I do not know how associated the file path image to the employee PERNR.
How we should do that?
Any Idea?
Kind Regards,
Julian.

Hi Julian,
Please follow:
Table (TOAOM) SAP Archive Link - Meta table for links u2013 indicates the content repository that will be utilized for particular object and document type.
Table CREP u2013 List of content repositories
Prerequisites:
1.     PERNR and infotype must have valid entries. Say custom info type is IT9007
2.     Image file name should be represented as concatenation of PERNR and infotype number.jpg [example 900000019007.jpg where 90000001 u2013 pernr 9007 u2013 infotype]
 STEP 1
Firstly go to transaction code   CG3Z.
Transferring images from presentation server to Application server. The same can be done by asking the BASIS team to transfer all the required image file names to application server.
 STEP 2
Browse the location for the source file which is to be uploaded.
Browse the location (directory) for the target File where the image has to be stored in sap.
Click on Upload button to upload the image.
 STEP 3:
To check whether the file has been uploaded or not uploaded, navigate to transaction code Al11 (tcode).
Select your directory and check whether the file is successfully uploaded in required directory.
 STEP 4:
Now navigate to transaction code SE38 (tcode) and execute the standard program OA_UPLOAD_AND_LINK.
Values are entered in the screen: with PREL as business object and HRICOLFOTO as document type for color documents.
Mention the file path where you are storing all the images to be uploaded for mass migration.
OUTPUT:
The output will provide the list of files accepted for uploading
 STEP 5:
Now navigate to transaction OAAD (tcode) to link/assign the documents to PERNR
 STEP 6:
Click Technical search and then click execute button.
 STEP 7:
Enter Personnel number and info type. Click on Enter button.
Select your record and click on display button.
The screen is displayed.
 STEP 8:
Click on Reassign document button. Click on Enter.
OUTPUT: Storage parameters are updated after reassigning the document
Use recording for Steps 6 to 8 u2013 for mass upload of images providing the input PERNR and Info type number to input parameter SAPOBJECTID on selection screen.
 Verification:
Navigate to transaction code PA30 (tcode). To check the image id uploaded or not for particular personnel number. Click on Display button.
OUTPUT: Image on right top has been uploaded.
I hope to have helped you.
Thanks,
Padmaja.

What is the best way to build a career path where I can evolve into an SAP role instead of one that is Customer Service based?

In October 2011, my previous employer converted to SAP, as the rest of the worldwide entities were already using SAP. At that time, I was an Order Coordinator, where my job role was to process all of the Inside/Outside Sales Representatives orders for the US. Because of my keen attention to detail, the speed in which I learn new roles and general IT knowledge, I was asked to be the SAP SuperUser for our Financial Operations team. I quickly began to learn the roles of Order-to-Cash, Customer Master Data, Pricing Conditions, Contracts, some Material Master Data, and even Customer/Material Pricing Audits. I also performed manual customer billing in SAP until the automatic modules were implemented. Knowledge of these roles created a need for me to become a trainer to my team, where the SAP Consultants left off. After only working in SAP for the few months after the conversion started, I evolved out of an Order Coordinator rights of access and was given a not-so-typical role as an "analyst". I had more than a firefighter role in SAP, as my normal log in credentials gave me full rights to all of these modules and even special reporting. Our parent global company realized necessity for my role and followed proper protocol to authorize the access changes to still meet the SOx regulations. Prior to using SAP, I never thought I'd fall in love with it and enjoy my job so much, but it happened! Despite my previous employer's less than perfect data that was copied into SAP, we managed to have an efficient ongoing process to clean it all up. I became more of a liaison between Financial Operations and our IT Dept/SAP Consultants. I "translated" the technical steps that IT/SAP Consultants were trying to teach everyone and trained my Financial Operations team in a way they would understand. I truly enjoyed my job, even at our most difficult moments.
However, after all of the fun I was having while working in SAP and truly gaining a ton of useful experience and knowledge, "life" happened and I had an opportunity to move from Atlanta, GA to southern California. I've searched for months to find a new career here in California with a company that I could continue my learning experiences and become more proficient in SAP, but I'm a little lost. My search to find jobs have only given me possibilities in Customer Service positions or ones that are SAP sales/programming based. I'm floating in limbo and looking for help from the SAP community on where I can go from here to get back into a career path with SAP.
I'm 28 years old and I'm currently finishing my Associate degree in Business Administration. I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), certified with the Help-Desk Institute as a Support Center Analyst, and also completed my previous employer's Quality Advocate Certification which focused on Six Sigma and Lean concepts. Prior to leaving the company, I was being considered for a company sponsored training in the Six Sigma Green or Black Belt program. I've recently started working a contract position as a Customer Service Rep, processing orders, but the company will be completing an SAP conversion in May 2013; so only a few months away. The problem I have in this position is that I feel frustrated in learning their current software when their entire team seems to have their own personal ways of doing their job. I prefer to have structure and perform job duties the right way, then building on that to make the job more streamlined. I spoke with my recruiter but he feels I may be a bit premature on feelings about working in this contract position. I may be just feeling a little impatient in having to wait another 3 months to see if the company may even hire me on permanently and what role I would have with SAP, beyond Customer Service Rep. I'm hoping to get some direction from the SAP community on where I might focus my attention in learning SAP. My hope is to find a position working with SAP like the one I enjoyed so much back in GA. I'm even considering options to learn the programming side. I think SAP is a great software package once people understand how it's designed, or can be designed, to work.
Please help!!
I'd be happy to provide my resume to anyone willing to review it and give me some pointers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I appreciate the length and detail of your post. I struggle answering questions from folks who give too little info. It's refreshing to have too much info for a change.
I'll summarize your post and give suggestions:
You have very strong end user experience, almost bordering on support level SD knowledge. You have experience with the way that at least one company implemented SAP SD but don't have many years of experience with different approaches, so you can't pitch yourself as someone who's "been-there, done-that" outside of the SD world and you can't bill yourself as having SD functional knowledge to the extend that you could be a consultant for SAP SD. (See FAQ: Different Career Paths in SAP for descriptions of different traditional SAP career paths.)
You've moved to Southern California, which is chock full of companies using SAP, by the way, and you're having a hard time finding the right job. Your education is probably going to be problematic at this point. Most SAP related jobs require a Bachelor's Degree at a minimum. Definitely keep on going with your degree. I don't know where you're doing your associate's degree, but you might want to look in to Cal State Fullerton, which has an *excellent* SAP focused business degree program. (http://business.fullerton.edu/).
You've found work at a company but had to start over at a lower level of responsibility. Since the job you just landed will be transitioning to SAP in 3 months, you have an opportunity to repeat your previous rise by volunteering to be a super-user again. Alternatively, you could talk to the group within your company and express your desire to help out supporting the system from the back end. Traditionally, companies lose a few folks immediately following an implementation, so there's a good chance that if you make your desires and skills known, that you'll be able to move onto the support team once a position opens up.
All of the above assumes that you want to continue on the functional side of SD. You didn't mention any aptitude or preference for programming. It is certainly easier to get programming jobs than functional jobs (see How did you get your start in SAP?), but it seems like you really enjoyed the functional side of SAP. I do *not* recommend learning an SAP skill for which you have no desire simply to get a job, hoping that you can switch later. Use the skills you have to get the job you really want, doing something that really excites you. It's far to easy to fall into a job simply because it's there and get trapped and burned out.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,

Mass upload of BP into CRM

Hello!
I peform mass upload of BPs into CRM. I use FM BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA to create BP itself and BUPA_ADDRESS_ADD to save BP addresses and call these FMs in the same turn for each BP.
So, if I do that for 1-2 BPs, it works perfectly. All BP are saved in CRM with there addresses on COMMIT. As soon as the number of uploaded BP increases(between two commits), for example, up to 100, there is an error happens: E831(AM) in ADDR_MEMORY_SAVE.
As well as I understood, it happens because of address saving peformed before BP saving on commit. I tried first to save BPs only (with commit) and then their addresses, and it worked on mass upload without any error.
So, is there any idea about how to upload each BP with his address simultaneously without any error by mass upload?
Thank you.

You can upload millions of records using these function modules.Infact I am doing the same.
Make sure that the data structures,tables which are passed to the Function modules are cleared for each time and FM's should be in the below mentioned order.
BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA
BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_ADD
BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
Thanks,
Thirumala.

Mass Upload of Photos in Portal

Hi,
I am trying to do mass upload of JPEG Photos.
I have tried using User Self Service and that works fine.
Reqmnt is that administrator needs to upload 100 photos as a bulk for each user.
I have read the document on help.sap.com and it certainly gave me few insights but if anyone has done this before, i would like to steps on how to go about doing this.
Regards,
Dev

Hi;
Assign yourself to the role
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/Collaboration/DemoRole
After that you will have the Link
"Collaboration Demo\People Centric"
This gives you the possibility to make a manual or
mass upload of user photos.
