how to display employee photo in ADOBE forms?

hi friends,

i created one report to get employee photo URL by passing PERNR.

And i designed one ADOBE form with these details.

vorna, nachn, and photo.

now the vorna and nachn, i am able to see in ADOBE form when i test it.

And i passed the URL of employee to photo parameter. but it's not appearing in that.

I am using IMAGEFILED to display the employee photo. Even i checked the Embed picture option check box in the object. and The field value is $record.photo

Any helps regarding this.....

Regards,

Shankar.

hi,

thanks for ur reply. But, i already followed same thing which u specified the link. The problem is employee photo is not displaying in ADOBE form when i tested it.

Regards,

Shankar.

hi,

i am unable to display the photo. i am getting the URL of employee photo and i am passing it to interface also. But it's showing only first and last name. it's not showing the employee photo.

Any helps...........

Shankar.

Hi, I dont see any reason that the photo should not display --- please check once again and the code, I am sure you must have missed some thing. Check for the values, bindiing --- add one more ImageField and check.

hi,

i checked each and every step. i didn't missed anything in that. plz if possible u try it. and let me know weather it's working r not.

Hi Can you confirm what value do you get after this code

Get the Photographs.

lv_pernr1 = '00000028'. " Employee Number

CALL METHOD cl_ssf_xsf_utilities=>get_bds_graphic_as_bmp

EXPORTING

p_object = c_graphics

p_name = lv_pernr1

p_id = c_bmap

p_btype = c_bcol

RECEIVING

p_bmp = ls_z_if_test_cv-im_photo

EXCEPTIONS

not_found = 1

internal_error = 2

OTHERS = 3.

Once you get the value also bind this to a input or test field on the layout with the image field. ... confirm that you get the value in the new text field.

~BD

Hi,

I didn't get ur question. Here after this code i am getting the image path i.e in binary format into that ls_z_if_test_cv-IM_PHO

lv_pernr1 = '00000028'. " Employee Number

CALL METHOD cl_ssf_xsf_utilities=>get_bds_graphic_as_bmp

EXPORTING

p_object = c_graphics

p_name = lv_pernr1

p_id = c_bmap

p_btype = c_bcol

RECEIVING

p_bmp = ls_z_if_test_cv-im_photo

EXCEPTIONS

not_found = 1

internal_error = 2

OTHERS = 3.

Now the ls_z_if_test_cv-im_photo contains the path of employee photo, I checked in debug mode also it's getting the path. But in output it's not showing the photo of employee.

Regards,

Shankar.

Hi Please confirm --- is the ls_z_if_test_cv-im_photo is of type XSTRING?

Have you stored the photograph as bmp in SE78?

hi,

i changed the code to get the employee photo from archive link. So now the IM_PHOTO field contains the employee photo. i.e in binary format.

the code is like this....

But, Still now i am not getting the photo in output. only it's showing VORNA, NACHN filed values.

I think the issue is when u convert string into xstring using this FM CALL

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_KR_STRING_TO_XSTRING'

EXPORTING

CODEPAGE_TO = '8500'

UNICODE_STRING = turl

OUT_LEN =

IMPORTING

XSTRING_STREAM = turl1

EXCEPTIONS

INVALID_CODEPAGE = 1

INVALID_STRING = 2

OTHERS = 3

--- Why dont you first just to check upload one BMP in SE78 and using the call method try to retrive the photo and use it in your form?

hi,

But my requirement, i have retrevie the employee photo from archive link only. but not from se78.

is there any solution....

Regards,

Shankar.

Buddy I do understand your requirement -

what I am asking you is to check if at all the photo appears on the form through SE78.. if photo appears from SE78 the issue is with your conversion from string to xstring when retrieving the photo through archive link.

I am just asking for the confirmation to reach to a conclusion

hi,

which ever the employee photos u uploaded through TCODE OAOH , how we can see in se78.

Here I uploaded employee photo through TCODE OAOH, but not from SE78.

Shankar.

If you would like to work with a picture, loaded dynamically from an URL, you should use scripting.

FormCalc scripting on the picture element:

$.value.image.href = $record.URL

Hi,

This post helped me a lot, and I figured out what was going wrong for me.

Thanks guys!

Here is the code that works for me:

You have to create a node Graphics (Content) in the Form Context and assign both the field containing the XSTRING and the filed containing the MIME type.
