Repairing Web Dynpro DCsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

For Web Dynpro Development Components (DC) that have been created with an older Developer Studio version and that have been imported into a newer Developer Studio version, either for edit purposes or to build, deploy and run the application, a repair function is provided by Web Dynpro tools

When you repair a Web Dynpro DC, the updated source paths and classpath entries are displayed. Overall, an old DC structure is adapted to the new DC structure type. You can trigger project repairs for one or several Web Dynpro DCs in one step, and you get a text message if project repair was successful.

The repair function on the corresponding DC node in Web Dynpro Explorer triggers the following:

  • Creation of not available but needed folders (for example, /gen_cmi)

  • Creation of needed class path entries

    • Checks the referred class paths via Start of the navigation path Window Next navigation step Preferences  Next navigation step  Java  Next navigation step  Build Path  Next navigation step  Classpath Variables End of the navigation path

  • Creation of project natures dictionary, common model, and Web Dynpro

  • Check for registered model types

    • For example, (com.sap.ide.webdynpro.modeltypes.ReverseEngineered, com.sap.ide.webdynpro.modeltypes.WebService)

Procedure

  1. In Web Dynpro Explorer, select the project to be repaired.
  2. In the context menu, select the options, Start of the navigation path Repair  Next navigation step  Project Structure End of the navigation path and Classpath
