How can I delete an old Development Component (DC)

[Former Member]

Hello,

We've a sca-package with Java-WebDynpro Code and try to deploy it, but unfortunately the deployment doesn't work.

Therefore we analysed the package and remarked, that two sda-components exist.

An DevelopmentComponent with our current sources and an older DC, but nobody knows wherefrom the older DC comes.

We wanted to delete this od component, but we can't delete it in any way.

A) We tried to open the DTR as WebDav and try to delete the folder, but only the error message "Unable to delete ..." appears.

It's only possible to delete the "ative"/"inactive"-folder, not the folder of the subtree.

B) If we import the configuration of the track in our NWDS, and create a DC of it, the component isn't shown, so we also can't delete it in our NWDS.

C) I didn't find a flag to delete it in the NWDI in the CBS, CMS or DTR-websiteu2026

D) Following the link /people/daniel.wirbser/blog/2005/07/27/how-to-delete-development-components-in-netweaver-java-development-infrastructure-jdi it's not possible to do Step 2, because the action for the folder is disabled.

This Dev component exists in each folder: dev/inactiv, cons/inactiv, dev/active und cons/active-Folder.

(You can see it in the NWDS in Perspective "Development Configuration", but it also isn't possible to delete)

I would be glad, if you have some more suggestions.

Kind regards,

Bettina

Thanks, this is the solution. (This is explained in SAP Note #864515)

Problem 6:

Some DCs need to be deleted (most common thing here, the the vendor name was wrong. Does somebody know how to set a default vendor in the NW Studio ?). How can I get rid of them?

Solution:

This is explained in SAP Note #864515

The sum up: Sync the DCs. Go to the DTR perspective and choose the DCs in the Workspace -> inactive of your track. Then you do a "delete subtree "on the _comp directory under the DC. This activity will be immediately checked in. After that you must delete the corresponding myDc.dcref file in the SCs->TopLevelComps folder

Many thanks for the answers. Points are assigned.

After removing the Dc from DTR workspace,delete the deployable object from SDM also.

We wanted to delete this od component, but we can't delete it in any way.

For B point:

Go to NWDS ->WD prespective-.rightclick on the project+delete include all.It will remove the sc from your local workspace.

For C point:

Deleting the DC from DTR will delete the content from DTR workspace.Nothing to do with CBS and CMS.

For D option:
