I looked on our Epicor server (which is also the IIS host for Epicor) and couldn’t find these folders either, any pointers on where they are hiding?
We have a use case where storing part images in a folder would be a lot easier than Modding our web service.

I’ve only got a moderate level of photos, so mine are database blobs, I’ve never messed with
anything else. Now you got me thinking.
Until I read what he quoted from the docs, I didn’t know there was non-blob storage for images at all.

Now that I re-read it, I believe it is only referring to it for the purposes of DMT.
I bet it’s only for import to blobs.

I read somewhere that this was the old way they did images, but if still functioning would certainly be useful.

I don’t know if it’s that, or the just for dmt import thing, but a bpm could easily handle getting
it down.
Slight bit more work to get it uploaded (or assigned), but doable.

That’s from the Data Dictionary Viewer as the field description. I popped in EpiCare case CS0003874597. Let’s see if we get a useful response.

If we don’t, hit me back up, I’d be willing to write up a generic framework to get them downloaded from a generic location into the part attributes page the epicor way.
(IE, some assembly required.)

Here’s a post about getting the image for SSRS but it should do the trick.
@Mark_Wonsil ’s technique is the most portable. The images are in the RDL, and you don’t have to worry about them being the same size, cropping, stretch, etc…
Using referenced image files would allow you to change the image without having to edit the RDL.
But if anyone else knows how to pass an image from the DB (the actual image contents, not a reference to the source file) to a report, I’d love to learn about that. [ bat signal to @Carson ]

Popped up some test code a few minutes ago. Works a treat.
