Satish,

What is the extension for? You can always manually post process most code generated by the EEWB.

Let me know and I will see if I can tell you where to make the change.

To delete the extension from the EEWB you will need to go into your project and delete the extension. This can be done "easily" if your extension has not be transported to another system yet. I personally find that once you transport an EEWB extension, it is very very hard to get rid of the objects and can cause a lot of problems.

Good luck,

Hi Stephen,

I have an issue at hand. I have run EEWB for Business partners, Now I can see three components have been added in the structure BUS000___I and the components are ZZ1, ZZ2, ZZ3.

The only structure that has come into this BP structure is ZBSTC0000000000 followed by three data elements of this structure. No old versions for this structure was found in the system.

Another thing is that I have done this in sandbox and from there it has gone to the entire development server. But it has not been transported to Quality.

Another thing to notice is that when I created this project it did not ask me to generate a trans request and I do not see any request in SE09 also. But now when I make a new project or enhancement it is asking to generate a request for Transport.

Now I cannot delete these components directly from SE11. Because after adding these components the system is not allowing me to do so and is asking for the access code.

I am getting a syntax error in all the tx where Business Partner is used. I know the Project and the enhancement that was created and I have tried deleting the enhancement from EEWB but when i try deleting it, it always fall into an intermediate stage where it leaves some entries and due to these left over entries these errors are coming.

Now when I try activating the enhancement again the magic wand button used to activate an enhancement and the generate button is also inactive in EEWB and now it is not getting activated, even after rt click enhancement then clicking change or by clicking on the edit-change button on the top tool bar.

Can you help me in deleting this enhancement.

Thanking in anticipation

Satish,

My personal recommendation is that if your extension is not transported, would be to delete the entire extension and start over. You can delete a extension via the EEWB using the tool. If the extension was transported in the case of a SBX to DEV system, you will need to delete all the objects manually.

To delete the objects manually you will need to get the object list of the generated objects and delete those objects in your system. You will also need to delete all the BDT customizing corresponding to the new objects. The generation list for the EEWB should give you what was added. You can also using the object key list for the transport of your EEWB extension.

Going forward I would not recommend using the EEWB until your design is finalized. The EEWB tool breaks down when you have multiple revisions or an unstable design and have to make lots of changes. You may want to consider using the "hybrid" eewb approach once you have cleaned the old project.

Generate a single field extension using the EEWB. Now add the remaining fields as needed manually into the extension. This will save you a lot of grief and still gives you the benefit of the EEWB generating 80% of the coding. You then only have to focus on some data dictionary changes and screen painter issues.

If I can think of a better method than deletion, I will post it later, but it appears that you are stuck with deletion as your only option at this point.

Good luck,

Stephen
