Today i made a new assembly line in Tivoli Directory Integrator.
I iterate Shortname and Filename (with path) of a jpeg-photo in a csv-file. A java class converts this pic to an jpeg binary (class returns this binary array) and then tdi write this value to domino ldap in jpegphoto attribute.

I had a very similar problem with validation of LDAP Search filter (which is saved in employee-table too) and searched longer to solve this (I set sync_store_source_url=false), but the real error was like here in validate_dbrepos_fields.properties.
When you open validate_dbrepos_fields.properties (in your tdisol directory) you found following:
On one of my IBM Connections Site i had a problem with directory search (better the typeahead search). When we searched single characters no business cards are displayed.
I use Firebug for Chrome here and you see, that the search gets an result back from Connections, but no business cards are displayed.
When i open this get statement i get a list of profile documents in JSON format:
