About the RFC function changed and reimport Model

[Former Member]

Dear superman,

I changed the length of a field in one RFC function, but I got the error message when I re-deploy this application. Following is the steps:

1) Changed the Length of field in RFC function in CRM.

2) Restarted the J2EE server

3) Re-imported the model (I found the length of the field was changed in NWDS)

4) Rebuild this application and deployed, and server returns the error message.

What's wrong with my operation? Thanks!

Hi,

Your operations are fine, but I believe the sequence of the processes is an issue. You should,

1) Changed the Length of field in RFC function in CRM

2) Re-imported the model, Rebuild the application

3) Restarted the J2EE server

4) Rebuild this application and deploy it

Hope it helps..

Cheers!!!

Hi,

My advice is to restart the J2EE server AFTER you have deployed the application for the first time after re-import. That makes sure the metadata is newly determined.

So, 5) Restart J2EE server.

Hope this helps.

Once more question: How about rebuild it?

Hi Jie,

You can try deleting the metadata cache. Check this link - http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10465350-b4f5-2910-61ba-a58282b3b...

I totally agree with Alain that you should reimport, build and re-deploy the project before re-starting the J2EE Engine.
