Function Group Copying

[Former Member]

When I copy a source Function Group to a new target Function Group name I understand that this will copy all of the objects in the source Function Group to the new Function group. It will also keep the source Function Group where I can delete it later. The new Function Group will obviously create a new Function Pool Name. The old Function Group was ZW00 and copied to Z5W00. So I assume the new Function-Pool program will be copied from SAPLZW00 to SAPLZ5W0.

Now, I am having a problem understanding how the original process that used SAPLZW00 will now know to use the same process using the new Function Pool,

SAPLZ5W0? This is associated with a web application.

Thank-You.

When you copy aa function group, you do not get the function modules copied across immediately... first you should get a popup message like:

Function group ZJC_TEST2 created. Now copy the    
function modules                                    

and then a popup window with a list of the source FMs and the chance to give them new names.

In your example, you copied ZW00 to Z5W00, so you should get objects named SAPLZ5W00, LZ5W00TOP, LZ5W00UXX - plus maybe some others if the source FG had PBO, PAI, forms etc.

As for how these are called, the obvious link is via function module names i.e. the web application may be calling RFC-enabled FMs in the FG. You could try renaming the FMs in the source FG (ZW00) and then renaming the ones in the new FG (Z5W00) so that the names in the new FG replace the originals.

hi,

go to se80 -> Take Function group -> give the function group name -> right click the function group name - > copy to a new function Group ->

After that a POP Up will comes."Function group is created.Now copy the function Modules".

Click 'Tick Mark' -> A new window - > click 'Copy' - > Give each Function name -> like that u have to proceed.
