Request: An emPath user recently asked "We recently upgraded to 6.4 and are have moved all of our badge pictures from the 6.3 server to the 6.4 server. We are needing to add all of the current employee badge pictures to their profile under 6.4. Adding the pictures manually for over 1000 employees is not an option and, as of yet there is no conversion utility in 6.4. ... a conversion utility is due to come out with SP5 sometime in the spring. Unfortunately that is too long of a wait and we need to get the pictures attached in 6.4 soon ... Has anyone found, developed or seen a work around for this?"
Solution: Set the StoreArtifactsInDatabase parm 1 value to "N" on the emPath 6.4 (setup > system parameter) page. Taking this approach allows the continued display of JGP or GIF files.
Following is a screen print showing the system parameter:
Following is a screen print example of the emPath 6.4 profile page using the same JGP file used in emPath 6.3

(1) Set the StoreArtifactsInDatabase parm 1 value to "N" on the emPath 6.4 (setup > system parameter) page.
(2) Copy the emPath 6.3 images to emPath 6.4
