External Library build error

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am creating external library to add jar files to local DC. But I am getting build error as:

ERROR: externalLib: Build failed for sap.com/externalLib(MyComponents) in variant "default": unknown entity type 'Archive'.

Please avoid sending links. I have referred lots of links.

What could be the reason?

Please help.

Regards,

Pranati.
