  The SAP error message RSWR001 indicates that neither a logical ABAP system nor a portal alias has been specified in the context where the error occurs. This typically happens in scenarios involving the SAP Web Application Server (WAS) or when working with SAP Business Warehouse (BW) and its reporting tools.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Configuration: The logical ABAP system or portal alias has not been defined in the relevant configuration settings.
  Incorrect Settings: The settings may be incorrectly configured or pointing to a non-existent logical system or alias.
  Transport Issues: If the system was recently transported, the necessary configurations may not have been included or activated in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSWR001 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Logical ABAP System Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SICF and check the configuration for the logical ABAP system.
  Ensure that the logical system is correctly defined and active.
  
  
  
  Define Portal Alias:
  
  If you are using a portal, ensure that the portal alias is correctly defined in the system.
  You can check this in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator or through the relevant configuration transactions.
  
  
  
  Maintain BW Settings:
  
  If you are working with BW, check the settings in transaction RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Ensure that the source system is correctly defined and that the logical system is assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary objects and configurations were included in the transport request.
  Re-import the transport if necessary or manually configure the missing settings.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the logical ABAP system or portal alias.
