Where are images stored?
Images are recorded in two places
- As "Attachments" on the source:
- Item
- Sales
- Purchase -documents
- As records in "Mobile WMS Media Queue"
Images are stored in the database table "Tenant Media"
All images are stored in the "Tenant Media"-table.
"Mobile WMS Media Queue" refers to "Tenant Media".
How it works behind the scenes
Images are transferred "ad-hoc" in two requests:
- Mobile sends an initial request, containing a uniqe ID of the image. (Mobile Doc. Type: PostAdhocRegistration, Registration type: RegisterImage)
- Mobile sends a second request, containing the unique ID and the image date. (Mobile Doc. Type: PostMedia, Registration type: Type: Image)
This is done to provide the mobile user with a real-time experience, when handling large image data loads.
