Error: Failed to start application in external browser:

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a web dynpro app deployed to the Portal.

In NWDS (7.0.18) I created a copy of the same project and it automatically renamed the project to 'Copy of (name)'.

Then inside the project I manually renamed:

The web dynpro component name, application name, view name and window name.

I rebuilt the project, no compile errors.

I deployed the new Copy of (name) project to the portal.

When I try to run the application I get the following error:

Failed to start application in external browser: Failed to generate URL to deployable object 'local/Copy of (name)', application 'Copy(name)App'.

Any help or suggestions please?

Issue was solved by removing spaces in the deployed archive file. When doing a copy the NWDS named the copy project Copy Of (name). In turn the archive file was named Copy of (name).ear which I had to change to Copyof(name).ear, also the project name had to be changed from Copy of (name) to Copyof(name). Then I had to undeploy the old version. Bounce the J2EE and redeploy the new version. Fixed!
