Creating a Web Dynpro DCLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

To manage the Web Dynpro development objects, you first require a corresponding development component project in the Developer Studio. The creation wizard generates a new Web Dynpro DC project. As soon as generation is complete, the Web Dynpro Perspective is opened automatically. The logical project structure of the relevant project is displayed in the Web Dynpro Explorer

Unlike a standard Web Dynpro project, the Component Properties editor is available in this case. Here you enter all details that are especially relevant for handling DCs (used DCs, public parts, and so on).

Caution

The prerequisites listed below are not required if you are going to create local DCs only.

  • You have imported the relevant development configuration into the Developer Studio.

  • You have a valid NWDI user with development authorization (developer user).

  • You are already logged on to the NWDI.

Procedure

  1. Open Development Configurations perspective through the menu path Start of the navigation path Window Next navigation step Open Perspective  Next navigation step  Other.. End of the navigation path. Development Infrastructure .
  2. In the Component Browser view, select the relevant software component to which you want to create the new DC.
  3. From the context menu for the software component, choose Start of the navigation path  New  Next navigation step Development Component... End of the navigation path
  4. Select Web Dynpro as the type of the development component and choose Next .
  5. Provide required information in the wizard window to specify the general properties of the DC based project.

    Specify the following properties for the DC project to be created:

    Property

    Description

    Vendor

    Globally unique vendor ID. We recommend that you derive this ID from the vendor's Internet domain (example: sap.com)

    Name

    Component types carry a unique name and a vendor ID

    Caption

    Name by which the DC will be identified in visual tools

    Language

    Original language used to name UI elements belonging to the DC

    Domain

    ID of the development area (bank components, controlling, and so on) for which the new DC is to be created

    Keep DC local for now

    Identification of the DC as a local DC. Activate this option only if the DC project is not to be checked into the DTR but is to be created locally only (in this case, there is no assignment to a DTR activity)

    However, you can assign the resulting local DC to project processing of an activity at a later point.
