Integration Options - iOS image transfer

Hello All,

We have an app that captures images. These images can range from 6-10 MB in size.

What could be the integration options available to send this file from the mobile device to say a ECM solution within the BLAN?

PS: We are expected to factor in low bandwidth and converge issues.

Looking forward to some ideas on best practices.

Thanks,

Shabarish

Hi Shabarish,

  • We used Base64 converted media data
  • Additionally we have the caller (your App) send the MIME Type (e.g  image/png or  image/jpeg)
  • Then convert to XSTRING via FM  SSFC_BASE64_DECODE
  • After that convert to binary via FM  SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY

About low bandwith:

Not sure about how to takle that. Could be some sophisticated solution like storing the already transfered data and picking up where you left in case of no signal. However, this will proably become quite difficult to handle

About converge issues:

Providing you will be supporting only iOS you should be pretty save with supporting image/png and image/jpeg. If you encounter "image/jpg" from your caller (your app) you'll probably want to switch this to "image/jpeg" on the SAP side to further work with this.

HTH

Cheers
