• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_TOOL035 - You can only copy original types ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS_TOOL035 You can only copy original types
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to copy a Web Dynpro component or object that is not an original type but rather a copy or reference of another object. In SAP Web Dynpro development, only original (source) components or types can be copied directly. Copies or derived objects cannot be copied again, which leads to this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In Web Dynpro ABAP, components or types can be created as originals or copies.
  Originals are the source objects that can be copied or modified.
  Copies are dependent on originals and cannot be copied further.
  Attempting to copy a copied object triggers the WS_TOOL035 error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the original object: Instead of copying the copied object, locate the original Web Dynpro component or type.
  Copy the original: Perform the copy operation on the original object.
  If you only have access to a copied object and need a new copy, trace back to the original component/type and copy from there.
  If unsure about the original, check the object properties or use the Web Dynpro Explorer to find the source/original component.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error is specific to Web Dynpro ABAP development environment.
  It helps maintain consistency and integrity of component copies.
  When working with Web Dynpro components, always manage originals carefully.
  For more details, you can check SAP Notes or the SAP Help Portal on Web Dynpro component lifecycle and copying rules.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  You cannot copy a Web Dynpro component/type that is itself a copy. Always copy the original component/type to avoid the WS_TOOL035 error.
