Mass Import for MIMEs Using WebDAV

Context

As an alternative to the import function of the MIME Repository, you can perform a mass transfer of MIMEs by using the WebDAV interface.

In this scenario, you do not need to check out your pages. You merely establish a connection to the application server through WebDAV and transfer the MIME objects from the file directory of your hard disk to the desired directory in the MIME Repository.

Procedure

Logging on to the application server through WebDAV (for example, using Web folders or My Network Places in Windows environments).

To do this, you must specify the address of the SAP application server and the WebDAV service in the following form:

HTTP://<Application server>:<Port>/<Namespace>/<WebDAV service>

Example

HTTP://xyzmain.wdf.sap-ag.de:1080/sap/bc/bsp_dev

Note

To find out the namespace (in the above example: sap/bc/) and the name of the WebDAV services (in the above example: bsp_dev), call up the transaction SICF. All services are listed as ICF objects in Maintenance of Services.

Caution

The address named above is valid for system standard clients only. If you want to access MIME objects via WebDAV using a different client, you have to expand the address appropriately. Call the BSP page encode.htm from the decode_url BSP application to create an appropriate address.

This completes the input of logon data for your logon to the SAP System.
Selecting the target directory in the MIME Repository.
Importing MIMEs from the file directory of the hard disk into the selected directory of the MIME Repository (using Drag and Drop, for example).

All MIMEs imported are then part of the MIME Repository. By default, they are assigned to the package of the BSP application.
