Answer:
Photos are basically stored in a content server and retrieved in R/3 (@PA30). ESS basically calls the ITS template relevant for photo which pulls in the necessary picture. We have a solution similar to this. Let me know specifically what u would want. Maybe, I can help.

Answer:
Is there more information somewhere on setting this feature up? Also, could a user maintain his/her own photograph in SAP (either via GUI or Portals).
Thanks

Answer:
Photos are maintained as said on a content server. They are retrieved through the Archivelink (was SAP Archivelink). The content server can be any certified product or SAP's own Content Server. You have to really ask yourself if it is worth what amounts to implementing content/knowledge managment in order to retrieve photos. On a current project, we simply built a custom template that retrieves the photos directly from a database....it amounts to a small mini-app actually running a ASP snippet that passes the employee id as a parameter to retrieve the photo from a database. As always, 1000+ ways to solve a programming problem. =)

Answer:
Hi,
I was able to create the content server and also modify headers in SAP and show pictures in the SAP PA30 screen.
but am wondering how the same content repository can be accessed to show the pictures in an iview.
Answer:
there is an iview called 'employee photo' as part of MSS that uses the archivelink / content server approach to call a photo in the portal. you could use this code as a basis for your iview.
