Can we Copy a Webdynpro Component. If so, How??

[Former Member]

I frequently get a situation where I want to keep a copy of the web dynpro component developed and make changes such that they do no update the copy.

I have tried making a copy of it in the same project. BUt this gets updated when we deploy the component. So, In order to copy I am building the same application and modifying that.

Is there any way out. My work is doubled due to this. I am sure there is a way. Pleas let me know.

THank you,

Vasu

Hi Vasu,

What kind of Component is it? DC or Project? For Projects do like this:

1.Go to <Inst.Drive>:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Documents\SAP\workspace (say test)

2.Copy your project to desktop (Rename it as test_copy)

3.Open the project folder.Open the .porject file.

4.Change the project name and save it.<name>test_copy</name>

5. Copy this modified from desktop to workspace.(Copy test_copy to workspace)

6.Open NWDS,select File-> Import. Browse to workspace select the modified project (test_copy)-> Select Finish.

Now in the studio you will have copy of your project.

Hi,

If it is Development Component, You can make the component as Public part and consume it as Used DC.
