Show logo

[Former Member]

I want to show logo of a company in my web dynpro application.

I know I can upload it via MIME. But that uploads from local drive.

My image is already stored somewhere in SAP.

How do I get it?

Thanks in adv.

I think you need to tell people where it is stored in SAP before anyone can hope to help you. Is it in the filesystem of the app server, in a custom database table, in the DMS module, stored as an attachment to a business document (GOS), stored in archieve link, stored in the old Web binary repository (predessor of the MIME Repository), stored in the content/cache server? There are many possibilities and some very application specific ones as well. Each would have different access methods.

Thanks Thomas. It was uploaded via SE78. Dont know where it gets stored from there.

How to show it now?

SE78 is the old graphics store for SAPScript. Not the best place to store images now because of the limited support for graphic types. Usually you store as Bitmaps there, making those images highly inefficient for usage on the web. Unless you have thousands of images you need to use, I would suggest downloading them, converting their format and storing them in the MIME repository. If you absolutely must access those images for some reason, look at the function modules in group STXBITMAPS - function module SAPSCRIPT_GET_GRAPHIC_BDS or SAPSCRIPT_BITMAP_GET depending upon which of the two formats/folders where used in SE78.

If you know the PATH of the image you want to place, you can do it using IMAGE UI Element.

On the layout tab of the view create a UI element of type 'IMAGE'. Now goto your MIME repository and find an image you want to display. Now enter the path of this image into the source property of the IMAGE element or just simply drag the image from MIME repository onto the source parameter and it will enter the path for you.
