Copy existing Webdynpro Projects to New

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have three webdynpro projects in NWDI .

How can i copy them into new workspace without affecting the existing one .

The requirement is that after copying them into new workspace we have to do modification in views .

Do we need a new JDI Server destination for that ?

Please help .

Thanks a lot .

Hi Jain,

You should copy the the project to new workspace.

Rename it and then import to developer studio.

hi jain,

In answe to your query, Double click on the project folder. There you would find ".project file", . Open it woth nodepad. Find the place where your project name is specified by using "ctrl+f".. Now replace this name with the new name. Secondly rename the .ear file. eg, if it was share1.earand you want to replace it with share2.ear. Just rename it.

hai jain,

1.just right click on the project and select properties.

2.get the location of your project(workspace)

3.navigate to that location and find your project .

4.copy the project and paste it in some other location (eg d:/)

5.now you can make changes in the project in nwds.

If anything goes wrong while doing modifications you can get back the older project(copied by you)

steps for that.

1.delete the project which is in nwds.

2.file->.import>select project from existing workspace->browse and choose the location where you copied the project(d:/)

3.finish.

now you ll be able to find the project which you had before modifications.

any issues let me know.

Thanks n Regards

Hi...

If you have copy thenm into a new workspace, is it for another NWDS??

If so, then just, copy the projects and paste them in another folder. Then move to file of NWDS, and import the projects as"existing projects into workspace"
