Copy standard iviews for customization

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

How to copy the standard ess iview to a custom namespace.

1. Can i copy paste the com.sap.pct.ess.employee and use the change ID option to change the namespace. will this maintain the delta link to sap std. iviews.

2. should i copy any other folders for ess

thanks,

Hi

Do we need to copy the pages also in customer wokspace or adding IViews directly to the worksets will work ? is there any special significance of pages in ESS as they are WD Pages with some properties and they need to be copies as well ?

Rahul,

Follow exactly how SAP has created(copy the standards iviews to your folder and then pages and then worksets).It's not mandatory to create pages and assign them to worksets but it is a best paractice.

Hi Bala,

Should i copy the required iviews,worksets,roles and paste as deltalink in the new folder. Will this change the iview namespace to that of the copied folder or should i use change id on each iview as well.

Can we copy and paste all the iviews,pages,worksets and roles and paste them as deltalink in the custom folder in one go.

Hi,

you can copy the required objects and paste to new folder and it will take care of everything(prefix,id)

It's better to create a separate folder and copy-paste(copy-paste as delta link depends on your requirement) all the required iviews into that folder.
