BW Workbench hangs when opening DataSource tree

[Former Member]

I've got some strange behaviour in BW SAPKW73007 system. When in BW Workbench (RSA1) I go to Data Sources and then try to switch the source system (to the ECC client, btw). Then the workbench hangs.

Debug shows that the code stops in the method ADD_T_TREE of class CL_RSAWBN_TREE_MODEL_FOLDER, particularly in this code:

For some reason the internal table o_th_tree does not have a record with nodeid = l_nodeid, hence the field symbol <l_s_tree> just stays unchanged, and the whole LOOP rund endlessly until timeout.

What makes me thing it's not a code issue is that a) for all other source systems the tree of DataSources is built fine, b) I guess it's a code not changed for a while, as BW has been on market for quite a while.

I tried to replicate all Data Sources from the given Source System on the Source Systems section, to no avail.

Can anyone else think of anything else I could check before raising an OSS message?

Thanks!

The root cause of the issue was actually in ECC, so I fixed it by implementing an OSS Note 1663383 -- had to run a transaction RSA9 there.

Closing the thread now.

I assume you have a problem with your tree metadata. Unfortunately, you have to be on the tree to be able to replicate this data (right click on the header of the tree).

You can test the 'RSAOS_APCO_REPLICATE'  (l_logsys = your source system) that should do the same.

Frederic, yes it's obviously something wrong with the tree metadata. In fact, I tried to replicate it from "Source Systems" and it didn't help. Nevertheless I have tried the FM you recommended, and it didn't help either.

I am going to raise an OSS message now.

Hi,

Please check the below note, it might help you.

Note 1691183 - BW workspace: Termination when you call transaction RSWSPW

Hi Nitesh,

The Note you mention describes different symptoms. I have tried it anywa, but to no avail; I guess the issue is somewhere else.

Then Raising the OSS is the only option, it seems like an Product bug...

Thanks,
