Adding MIME Objects 

Use

You can use MIME objects (icons, graphics, audio files, animations...) to improve the layout of your Web applications.

Prerequisites

You must already have created an Internet service.

Procedure

To add a MIME object to an Internet service from the object list:

  1. Right-click the relevant service.
  2. In the context menu, choose Create ® Mime.

    3. The Read from Local File dialog box appears:

  3. Enter the path name of the file you want to import, and ensure that the file format is correct.
  4. Choose Import.

    5. The Create Mime dialog box appears.

  5. Enter the theme and the name for the MIME object.
  6. In the Name field, you can create a subdirectory, separated from the name of the MIME object by a forward slash ("/").

  7. Choose to continue.

    8. The Create Object Catalog Entry dialog box appears.

  8. Assign the MIME object to a development class and choose .

Result

The MIME object has been inserted in the R/3 Repository as a standalone object. It appears under Mimes in the object list display, and, if it is a graphic, its contents are displayed.

You can now use this object in your interface design.

 

When you publish the service, the MIME objects are not stored in an ITS directory. Instead, they are stored on the HTTP server under the name and subdirectory you specified in step 5 above.
