go to the folder where the dc is located, and delete it

your local drive.

Hi,

what I prefer using when I intend to delete a DC is the DC tool that has a command called deletedc.

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/30d8e1f6-a372-2b10-65af-8a366b91e...

NWDS is only a client that reflects actions going on server side. Meaning once you deleted a DC (and even if you do this on DTR webui still a delete-activity is created ...) you simply check-in, activate, release and import to cons. Normally there is no need to do any explicit deletion in NWDS or on filesystem. You only need to ensure that your client is in sync with the server as Hamendra pointed out.

Best Regards,

Hi Goverdan,

I would recommend to delete the folders in your local workspace.

(Foldername with *.jdi ending) contains the NWDI managed things.

In addition to deleting the folders for SC and DC you'll also need to clean up the XML files ".confdef" and I always also delete the corresponding temp folder: workspace/tracknumber/t or tx/guid. just check the file contents you'll easily find out what is what.

(nwdi is a nightmare)

Hi Goverdan,

As per my understanding, you have deleted a DC against any activity from NWDS. The best way will be that check in & release your activity and get the code again from NWDI.

Please update if we are not on same boat.

Thanks,

Hamendra

Hi Goverdan,

Have you synced the code after this? Or delete the workspace and create the new one.

Plesae also search your activity to know it's status.

Thanks,

Hamendra

hi hamendra ,

i went to active workspace in the nwds ->development Perspective->inactivedcs-> here selected the dc and gave create project , as usuall im not able to edit this , coz we cant edit the dcs synced from the active workspace , coz in inactive workspace the dc is not available , so what im planning is to move the dc from active workspace to inactive workspace and then delete the dc step by step so that im not stuck any where.
