1736940 - BWA or HANA availability before starting workspaces

Symptom
You create a workspace with transaction rswsp.
You start the BW Workspace Designer to create local providers.
When you upload the data (from a file for example), the system issues the error message: Error while creating provider &1.


Other Terms
Workspaces, BWA, SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator, SAP HANA, error while creating provider


Reason and Prerequisites
The workspaces should be created and maintained only in connection with a Business Warehouse Accelerator (BWA) or with SAP HANA.
This is specified as a prerequisite in the documentation of the workspaces.
If SAP HANA is not available, the RFC connection to the BWA may not have been maintained yet.
In this case, it should not be possible to start transaction rswsp or rswspw cannot and the system should issue an error message that describes the missing prerequisite.


Solution
This SAP Note implements a test to check whether the BWA or SAP HANA connections exist and if they don't, the system returns an error message and prevents the transaction from being started.
