converting local project to DC?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a Web Dynpro project that was developed in local and I'd like to adapt it to a DC development.

Can anyone give me some hints on how to do this?

Thank you,

Regards.

Hi Lorenzo,

try this procedure:

1. Create a new Web Dynpro DC Project.

This creates an empty container for a Web Dynpro DC that does not have yet have any functions. The new DC should include all relevant development objects in the local project.

Do not check the newly created DC into the DTR yet.

2. In the Web Dynpro perspective, switch to the Navigator view.

3. Select the local Web Dynpro project that you want to migrate and expand the project structure.

4. Select the source folder src and the Model Folder, then choose Copy in the context menu (right mouse click).

5. Now choose the DC project that you have just created and expand the project structure in the Navigator view down to the source folder.

6. Select the Packages node and choose Paste.

7. Choose OK to confirm your selection.

8. Assign a DTR activity either by creating a new activity or choosing an existing one.

9. Switch to Web Dynpro Explorer.

10. Choose the project node for the DC project and choose the Reload function.

11. A dialog box appears. Choose Reload again.

12. Execute a local rebuild for the entire DC project. Choose the Rebuild project function.

13. If there are no errors in the task view, execute a DC-based build by choosing Development Component Build.

This build is identical to the central build tool; it is needed to cater for mutual dependencies of DCs during the build.

Hope this help you.

Hi Lorenzo,

Even I am trying to perform the same operation.

But I have a CAF project to be moved from a Local DC to NWDI.

Is there any solution for this.

Thanks.

Hi,

U can just copy the src folder of ur local project and replace it in the DC project.

1. Create a DC Project.

2. Copy the src folder of the local project.

3. Go to ur local file system where u have created ur DC project. Navigate to the src folder.

4. Paste the copied src folder.

5. Go to ur NWDS. Refresh the DC project.

Hence u will get the local converted to a DC project.
