Uploading images for CCM

[Former Member]

Has anyone worked on uploading images into SAP CCM. We have some images which the vendor gave us, we would like to upload them into our internal catalog....

I understand that we have to use /CCM/ATTACHMENT, but before that how do I upload images into the server?

Can anyone help?

SRM Server 5.5

Thanks in advance,

Hi

<b>Which CCM version/release are you using ?</b>

<u>Right now, the CCM 2.0 can support only to PDF Document and JPG images. So it is possible in your case.</u>

<u>Please see this link for more details -></u>

Upload your PDF Documents in MIME Repository in your Catalog System.

with file Type :PDF File (Adobe Acrobat Exchange/Reader) then add the file name and description to Catalog Characteristic eg:ITEM_DESCRIPTION_FILE#/CCM/MIME_TYPE

ITEM_DESCRIPTION_FILE#/CCM/DESCRIPTION

(or)

<b>To Include Images and pdf documents</b>

You use this function to include images and pdf documents in your catalog system . These images are displayed in SAP Catalog Search Engine.

You include images in your catalog by specifying the URL where the image is stored. You cannot include the image files themselves in the catalog. The information required to display an image is contained in the complex characteristic ATTACHMENT, which consists of the characteristics /CCM/DESCRIPTION and /CCM/URL.

<u>You can fill the ATTACHMENT characteristic by:</u>

Uploading the data to the supplier catalog

Entering the data manually in the master catalog or in a procurement catalog

Prerequisites

The catalog in which you want to include images must contain the ATTACHMENT characteristic.

You can create the ATTACHMENT characteristic in two ways:

You can upload the characteristic using CSV 2.0 format or using the XML format that corresponds to the SAP message type CatalogueUpdateNotification.

Once you have triggered the creation of the ATTACHMENT characteristic in the supplier catalog, you can:

Upload the description and URL for the images to the supplier catalog using any of the supported formats for SAP Catalog Authoring Tool (CSV1.0, CSV2.0, BMEcat, eCX XML, or the XML format that corresponds to the SAP message type CatalogueUpdateNotification)

Map the characteristic to the master catalog and procurement catalogs to enable you to fill the characteristic manually.
