• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSQBW146 - InfoCube &1 has BWA status 'BWA Index Only' ?

  The SAP error message RSQBW146 indicates that an InfoCube has a BWA (Business Warehouse Accelerator) status of "BWA Index Only." This status means that the InfoCube is configured to use the BWA for query performance, but the actual data is not stored in the BWA. Instead, only the index is available, which can lead to performance issues when executing queries.
  Cause:
  
  Data Loading Issues: The data might not have been loaded into the BWA properly. This can happen if there were errors during the data load process or if the data load was not executed at all.
  Configuration Issues: The InfoCube may not be properly configured to utilize the BWA for data storage.
  BWA Index Creation: The BWA index may have been created without the corresponding data being loaded into the BWA.
  Data Aging: If the data in the InfoCube is old or has been archived, it may not be available in the BWA.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Load: Ensure that the data has been successfully loaded into the InfoCube. You can do this by checking the data load logs and ensuring there are no errors.
  Rebuild BWA Index: If the data is present in the InfoCube but not in the BWA, you may need to rebuild the BWA index. This can typically be done through the SAP BW administration transaction (e.g., RSA1).
  Load Data into BWA: If the data is not in the BWA, you can initiate a data load to the BWA. This can be done by executing the relevant data load process in the BW system.
  Check BWA Configuration: Verify that the InfoCube is correctly configured to use the BWA. This includes checking the settings in the InfoCube properties and ensuring that the BWA is properly connected to the BW system.
  Monitor BWA Status: After making changes, monitor the BWA status to ensure that it changes from "BWA Index Only" to a status that indicates both index and data are available.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage InfoCubes and monitor data loads.
  BWA Administration: Familiarize yourself with BWA administration tools and transactions to manage BWA settings and performance.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or patches related to BWA issues.
  Performance Monitoring: Regularly monitor the performance of queries and the status of BWA to ensure optimal performance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSQBW146 error and ensure that your InfoCube is functioning correctly with the BWA.
