How to Copy Web Dynpro Component?

[Former Member]

I have a web dynpro component uses an Adaptive RFC model. I want to copy the component to a seperate project. How can I copy it and maintain the Adaptive RFC model references? Is there a way to copy the model over to the new project?

In case your wondering, I need to have to have copies of two seperate componenets because I need the web dynpro application to access two seperate SAP clients.

Any help is appreciated and will be awarded with points.

Hi Thomas

1. Create a development component (DC) with models and expose them as public part.

2. Use this DC in other DC's. This way you create models at 1 place and can use it in any component you like

Hi Thomas,

I too had an identical problem. Unfortunately, the webdynpros cannot be copied like cut n paste. The packages where they are stored/compiled have to be freshly defined. Implies u end up building a similar application from scratch.

Solution 1:Other method is to define another set of JCO destinations & override the original destinations by passing destination names through the URL

Eg

http://<Host-Name>:<Port-Nummer>/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/Example_Project/Example?sap-wd-arfc-useS... WD_MODELDATA_DEST:SyB&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=WD_RFC_METADATA_DEST:SyBstarts

Check doc

Solution 2: You could copy the entire application to another J2EE installation.

Hi,

One way is import the RFC in another project and then copy the component to that project.

I think you have to do model mapping in the views.

You can't copy a model into another project.
