Enhancing MDSD 3.0

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

I'm new in this matter and I'm really stuck, and hoping I can get some help here.

I'm trying to develop custom functionality to MDSD 3.0. I'm using the MDSD 3.0 Enhancement Guide given by SAP through the marketplace.

The steps I've done until now are the following:

1. Installed SAP NW Developer Studio.

2. Installed MI and DSD plugins to the NW Developer Studio.

3. I've created a Standard MDSD Project:

a. File->New->Other

b. Chosen "DSD->Enhancement/Standard Project".

c. Selected the MDSD.zip file (Hoping this is correct)

4. Created an Enhancement Project:

a. File->New->Other

b. Chosen "Customer DSD Project"

c. Namespace = com.custom

d. Build.xml = Create deployment add-on zip file

e. Mobile DSD jar file location = I've selected the JAR found on the Installation zip file, MDSD.jar (I really didn't know what to select in here)

f. Generated file name by build.xml = build.zip

After all these steps, the problem is when I navigate through the Project Explorer, in the MDSD Enhancement project, direction cfg->com->cust->dsd, all the folders are empty:

busobj

reports

screens

states

According to the documentation, I should found here XML that I can transform and change right?

I would really appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gilberto,

Selected the MDSD.zip file (Hoping this is correct)

>> Here you have to select MDSDSRC.zip file given by SAP.

After all these steps, the problem is when I navigate through the Project Explorer, in the MDSD Enhancement project, direction cfg->com->cust->dsd, all the folders are empty:

>> These folders are empty only...

Say if u want to modify a screen then u need to copy that screen from standard MDSD project and paste in Enhanced project under screens folder.

after changing the file under screen folder( in enhancement project ) transform the file..corresponding java file will get created in Enhance project.

Rest all your steps were fine..

Hi Akhil,

Thanks a lot!!! Now I get it!

Just a few last questions:

1. After selecting MDSDSRC.zip my SAP NW Developer Studio is marking some java sources with errors. They are because of the instruction ENUM. The error says something like: "Syntax error on token "enum" " should I be worried about this?

2. After modifying anything could you please guide me to generate the build or deployable .zip file. What would be the steps?

Really appreciate your help.

Hi,

Are u using Eclipse or NWDS.( SAP recommends eclipse..well i was using MDSD2.1 not sure of 3.0 ).

Never tried with NWDS.

After your modification and transformation..just build the project.

U will get the required .zip according to the emntries at ur build.xml.
