Displaying/exporting PeopleSoft image/picture files

There isn't a good way to display/export images or picture files deliverd by PeopleSoft. Some smaller images can be viewed via Application Designer but not the ones that are used on fluid tiles. So wrote this small routine to view the images online as well as create a file with the same information which can be shared with the team.

For this POC running PT 8.58.x, HCM 9.2

Created a SQL object N_IMAGES_SQL, selecting image name and version from the PSCONTDEFN table. Selecting only SVG files as those are the ones generally used on fluid tiles. 











Created a page and added a long field of the type HTML Area to the page. 

N_TEST_WRK.HTMLAREA in the code below is that field.

So displaying the images returned by the SQL on the online page along with the image name. When this happens the images are also written to the web server cache folder. So created another string with path to the physical files in the web server cache folder and created an html file. Via a browser opened this html file and saved it as a pdf which can now be shared with the team.
