Hi Zeljko,

 

first off let me say that everything Chris mentioned in his posting from 2 years ago regarding the specification of the REST API is still valid, so the most important thing you need to be aware of is what kind of data and in which format the data needs to be send to the API. Unfortunately a recording of said web session is not available as it was a paid enabling session between the customer and Simplifier which is usually never recorded or only on agreement of the customer.

 

Ok, so concerning your use case, your first step would be to set up a REST connector and a corresponding connector call including the necessary parameters and authentication that the API expects. The same goes for passing your data to SAP later on but with another connector using the prefered method of connecting to SAP from your side (SAP RFC, SOAP, oDATA, REST). Now inside your application you can make use of the native camera functionality of your mobile device utilizing a Mobile Action ‘Capture Image’ in Simplifier’s Process Designer and accessing the deployed application via our Mobile Client. The handling of a taken picture and its actual data is quite easy if you make use of our standard client-side Business Object (BO) named “SIMP_FileHelper” which offers a variety of functions to convert the image to a Blob or data url for example. If you don’t find this BO on your instance yet, be sure to first import our Standard Content package to your system.

The output of the BO function can than be used as an input for your REST connector call. If necessary, any further converting of the data can be done using a script activity in the Process Designer and Javascript code, in that case you can use a variable inside of your application to temporarily store the image data.

 

Hope this helps you, regards,

Armin
