Retrieving Invoice images from Content Server

Background
My problem is, that I need to retrieve images from the Content Server and save them on a local drive with a path provided by the user. Metadata that is available for the image includes Object ID and the URL to the image on the server.
However, the Object ID is not valid for DMS, so the Function Groups for this are invalid. The cl_gui_* function groups have several usable Function Modules, but the URL link provided for the image is something like this:
http://xxxxxx.xxxxxx.com:XXXX/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?get&pVersion=0046&contRep=Z2&docId=123AB1C123D12E12345.... etc.
What makes the cl_gui FM unable to work, is the :, ?, % and & characters in the string - which makes the FMs look at the URL as invalid.
I have also tried more or less the entire content of FM in the SCMS_* Function Group (containing FMs for the Content Server), but to no avail.
Question
So, now to my question: Is there any way to translate the URL provided so the cl_gui FMs can understand it? Or, should I go the other way around and fetch the Invoice Image using the provided Object ID?
All needed at my program to finish off, is a method to retrieve the given images and save them to a local path.
I hope the Guru's of the SDN will be able to help me here

How to retrieve/gather images from a non-ZEN server?

Our main ZENworks server is 4.01 and it's running out of space for
images. We have an OES server that I'd like to use to push & pull images.
I looked at the Security tab / Upload restrictions in the Server Policy
and thought I might be able to define exactly where images can be stored
but haven't made any changes yet. Any ideas on how I can make this work?

yes.. the imgserv.nlm does access the harddrive via connection 0... it is
not able to authenticate..
and honestly why would you want to pull an image from another server
causing double amount of traffic..
you only need to install the imgserv on the other server and reference him
in your scripts... the old one can do the pxe stuff..
If you have already compiled drivers or have linux.2 please put them on

Retrieving Image from IXOS server

Hi,
We want to retrieve an image from the IXOS server, convert it from IXOS format to JPEG,GIF format, and store it on the R/3 server for later use.
Are there any function modules, class methods etc. to achieve this?
Regards,
Saurabh

The link between R/3 and the IXOS server document should be contained in table toa01. Once you locate the link to the document you can use function module ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_DT_VIA_TABLE to retrieve the archived document and do what ever you want. There are a number of function modules that can be helpful in working with archived documents. Just do a search in SE37 for ARCHIVE and you will find several.
Hope this helps.

Loader will load images from another server, but then we get error on Bitmap operation

I'm developing an app that currently is using Loader to get images from another server. This shouldn't currently work since we are still waiting for the owner of that server to put a crossdomain file in place. However, it does work -- sort of .
Loader can load the images fine, without an error. But then the app has a feature in which we are making a larger duplicate of the image to display in a sidebar, we do this in this manner:
var myBitmap:Bitmap = Bitmap(loader.content);
and when this runs we get a Flash player security error 2122, sandbox violation.
So while I'm hoping all this will fix itself when the crossdomain.xml file is put in place, I'm confused as to why we only get the sandbox error when we make a Bitmap from the image, and not when we initially try to retrieve the image.
(Incidentally: is there a better way to make a "copy" of an image loaded by a Loader, and then change its width and height for simultaneous display in another part of the stage? I don't need to change its actual dimensions -- I just need to change its display width and height.)
Thanks!

The sandbox allows viewing, not editing from another server without a crossdomain.
So, when you try to load it up, it loads it, but "read-only" and gives you an error when you try to "edit" it by making a new Bitmap out of it.
This should resolve itself once that crossdomain is in place.
||EDIT||
I just realized I should clarify my statement a little more.
When you load images from another server without a crossdomain, it allows the load for display only. When you try to load data, it will fail. This is because, XML data, or some other type of data is editable by default, and images are only viewable by default. So, the image fails when you try to convert it into an editable form.

Any way to retrieve this image from my cache? When saved it only saves as a 1.7KB blank file.

I'm trying to retrieve an image from Firefox's cache but so far have had no luck in doing so. The picture was hosted on imageshack and I had it open in a window but when I refreshed the page several hours later it was gone. I refreshed the page several more times, tried messing with the url to see if that did anything, but no luck. I haven't cleared anything on Firefox so I'm hoping there's some way I can recover it from the cache.
I followed the instructions on this page: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.firefox/msg/73bab3fb55ac5b42
However, when I right clicked the URL and chose "Save Link As..." it only saved a 1.7KB file that none of my photo editing programs can recognize or open. I've tried going to cache entries for other image links and saving them and when I choose Save Link As for those they save just fine, and in full size, so I'm not sure why this one won't work...I'm using Offline Mode so I'm not sure why the picture no longer being hosted online should make a difference one way or the other. I'm just hoping that my act of refreshing the page and nothing being there didn't overwrite the cache file and thus erase the cache'd image.
So is there any hope of retrieving this picture or is it gone for good?

Hi.
Once the image in question is replace with another one, the old one is erased. That is to say, if you open an image, say www.domain.com/image.png, and it's a 200x200 image, then you close it, it's still on cache, and you can access it through the cache. But if the image is changed in the server, that same exact url, and you access it again, at you see a 250x200 image (just an example), then the 200x200 is gone forever.
Your hope is that you never accessed the same URL again, so the old cache wasn't erased. If you know the url of the image, simply select offline mode (File > Work Offline, I think) and access its url. It will load the cached version and not check for the online one. Only if there is a cached version, of course.
I hope this helps.

Using flash to display images from sql server or file system

hello,
what methods and parameters of the urlloader class we have to use to display images in a flash player if possible..
also movie should update everytime a new image is added to a database or file
the images can either be in a file system or in a sql database (if possible)
does flash comes with an object of this type or we have to create it.
regards,

i responded to your duplicate message 4 days ago:
is it possible to insert and retrieve images from sql server using actionscript.
you'll need server-side script to query your database and you can use the flash urlloader class to call your script.
also is it possible to create a flash scrolling gallery based on images stored in a database and everytime an image is added it is displayed in the gallery.
load the data using the urlloader class and then load the images. periodically query the database for new images if there's no direct way for flash to know a new image was added.

Copy any kind of file from content server to network directory

Helli All
The question:
I nee to copy any kind of file from content server to any network directory.
Explanation
1. transaction CV02N
2. There is attached file for a document in tab "Document data/Original"
3. This file stored in content server
4. I wrote program code that creates path of the stored file that finally looks like
http://cont:8888/ContentServer.dll?get&Version=.....*...&compid=app1.doc
where app1.doc is file's name and I have to copy this file into network directory.
The problem is that this URL open the file instead of just pointing to him
so that no function or method can't see this file and as the result I got message that
the file doesn\t exist.
Please, advice.
Regards,
Daniel.

many many thanks for ur help. i really did not check the URLClassLoader properly.
but i would like to hear a little more from u. i have another question. here in this code (provided earlier), i searched for attribute values in the manifest file, then again i load the required class file from the very url. is it not good to retrieve the whole jar file first, and then check attribute values inside manifest file and load the required class files from that jar file that is already downloaded without going to that url again? how can i do this?

Fetch XML from Content server to Portlet and display as HTML

Hi,
I want to fetch the XML from the content server and display that XML in the Weblogic Portlet as HTML.
The main reason is that data will be contributed by the users in UCM and then I had to get that data from content server and display in portlet
Please Help........
Thanks,
Vinod

Vinod:
Probably what you're looking for is to bring the content over using the UCM SPI adapter for WLP's VCR:
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/ucm_adapter/intro.html]
And then to display the content using a custom template using Content Presenter:
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/cm/displaytemplatesCM.html]
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/portlets/development.html]
When you say you want to fetch xml, is that because it's a contributor data file? You can either read the property values directly from the VCR, or use the info you get from the node (such as dDocName) to then use a UCM/WCM web service to retrieve formatted content and put it in an iframe. There are a lot of ways to go in formatting the data.
You can even add edit capabilities to your Presenter template by calling the 'edit data file' web service of WCM.

Hi Rakesh,
You have to request you Network team to add the ip address of the machine where you have installed content server to your Exchange Server.
Let me know if it works.

Db connection from content server context through JSP

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how to get ucm db connection from Content Server context through JSP file? Thanks.
Joe
FMW Team,iTech,Shenzhen

Start by getting a sample JSP here:
http://www.corecontentonly.com/Blog/UsingJavaServerPagesWithContentServerAndAnExample
Then, you can use the Workspace object in the jsp to create resultsets from SQL.
String sql = "SELECT * FROM REVISIONS";
// Execute the sql
rs = objWorkspace.createResultSetSQL(sql);
drs = new DataResultSet();
drs.copy(rs);
for (drs.first(); drs.isRowPresent(); drs.next())
String dDocName = ResultSetUtils.getValue(drs, "dDocName");
System.out.println(dDocName);
}
