Refactoring for Web Dynpro ABAP

Use

The refactoring assistant in the ABAP Workbench can support you in deleting or renaming a subobject of a Web Dynpro ABAP component.

Prerequisites

You must have activated the refactoring support in your personal settings.

In the ABAP Workbench choose Utilities Settings... .
On the Refactoring tabpage choose Activate Refactoring Support , and the other functions you require.
Save your settings.

Features

When you save the component after a deleting or renaming a subobject, all objects affected by the change are automatically saved with it. In some cases objects belonging to other components are also affected by the change. If they are, a dialog box will notify you of this, provided you have configured this in your personal settings. In this dialog box you can select whether you want to allow changes to dependent objects in external components too. Unlike with change operations, with delete operations other components are not taken into account.

Note

Before you save a changed component, you can choose Start of the navigation path Utilities Next navigation step Refactoring Overview End of the navigation path to display all the changes made to your own component and to external components.
