Best Practice for enhancing the SAP delivered standard WD ABAP application

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am new to WebDypro ABAP.

To enhance the SAP delivered Standard WebDynpro Component (complex component with Business objects & powl).

Kindly let me know the best practice for enhancing the Standard WD ABAP from the below 1 or 2.

1) To copy & create a "Z" of the component & make changes in that (or)

2) to enhance directly on the same standard component without making "Z".

Regards,

NS

Hi NS,

If it is a standard component its better we go for enhancing the component rather than copying it into Z component.

• If there is any issue with in the standard component , SAP supports it through notes and OSS messages. If it is a Z component, SAP doesn't support it.

• If there is any up gradation of business packages, changes will be done to standard , but not the Z components, wherein we could miss it.

• Further, since it is a standard component it might have been used at many places, changes that has to done to reflect all changes might be difficult in this case if it is a z component.
