BW/4HANA Cockpit – Check tool (t-code BW4CHECK)

I previously wrote about the SAP BW∕4HANA Cockpit in my post here. In short, the SAP BW∕4HANA Cockpit is a web-based central hub for managing and administering an SAP BW∕4HANA system.

Setting up the Cockpit involves several activities. Below, I’ve briefly listed the relevant SAP Notes. If any issues arise during the setup, the t-code BW4CHECK (Check BW/4HANA Cockpit Setup) can be useful for troubleshooting. The BW4CHECK runs ABAP program BW4_UI5_IFC_CONSISTENCY. The program calls a method CHECK_STATUS of a class CL_BW4_FLP_HEALTH_CHECK. The method and few inner method calls read ICF services from table ICFINSTACT (service name = BW4_LAUNCHPAD, etc.) and checks if they are activate.

There are errors reported by the t-code in case some ICF/OData services that the launchpad uses are not configured.

In case the Cockpit setup is okay there is an information message: All services are active! (msg no BW4_UI5_TOOLS001).
