Local Webdynpro DC not visible in Webdynpro explorer view in WD perspective

[Sharadha1]

Hi,

I am new to WD java development in NWDS 7.3 ( have developed previously un NWDS 7.0). I have created a local WD Java DC, sync-ed the used DCs and did the build successfully in Development infrastructure perspective. After these steps, I am not able to view the Webdynpro DC project under Webdynpro explorer view ( in WD perspective), though I can see the DC in Navigator View.

I have googled this issue everywhere but could not find anything useful. Can you please help? I am not using NWDI, this is just a local Webdynpro DC.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Just a bit more information..

I am getting the error in the log as  below.

Project "LocalDevelopment~testdc~abc.com" is not a DC project

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sharadha

Thanks everybody. I resolved the issue.

I had placed the NWDS installation in a directory with a long path. I just moved the whole installation to C:\ and it started working fine. I guess the path was too long and NWDS was not able to handle it.

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions.

Hi,

can you check whether the problem persists if you create a new NWDS workspace?

Thanks and Regards,

Thanks, Ervin.

Yes I did try with a couple of new workspaces, the same issue happens.

Hi Sharadha,

Can you please put the steps you had followed while creating the DC?

Thanks Prasanna.

I did the following steps

1. Go to Development infrastructure perspective.

2. Go to Local Development configurations. Right click on the software component - Mycomponents.

3. Create a webdynpro DC.

4. Right click on the created DC and click Create Project/sync DC, along with Build.

I am not sure whether this would help. but after the 4th step, I get a error message that the .dcdef file is read only for the local DC.

Please let me know the correct steps if what I have done is wrong.

HI Sharadha

Try creating a new SC:

right click on the root node in the Component Browser view (LocalDevelopment) --> New --> Software Component.

now do the same as you did before only with your new  SC instead of MyComponents
