[SusanneGlaenzer]

How is your system landscape health condition in general? Which are the most critical technical issue that happened last week? Which systems are much slower than the long-term average? All this questions can be answered fast by using the new app SAP EarlyWatch Alert Workspace.

This new application is the central landing page for all SAP EarlyWatch Alert applications. The SAP Fiori Overview Page shows the most important results from the latest service reports across all systems, that the user is authorized to see.

The link http://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/ewaworkspace is available since on 1^st of September 2017 and can be access by clicking on the tile SAP EarlyWatch Alert Workspace in SAP ONE Support Launchpad. It can also be included in the other SAP Fiori Launchpads as explained in KBA 2517661 .

Prerequisites

1. The EWA Fiori Apps show service results for on-premise and private cloud systems, e.g. ERP on HANA, S/4HANA or BW on HANA.


2. The EWA data is collected and send to SAP. There are 3 possible scenarios:
   
   
   
   1. The EWA service is activated in SAP Solution Manager on-premise and the Send to SAP flag is set in the app Configuration – SAP EarlyWatch Alert.
   
   
   2. The data is sent directly from the monitored system, as described in SAP Note 207223.
   
   
   3. Private Cloud scenario: The data is sent from the Solution Manager of the private cloud provider to SAP.
   
   
   
   


3. You need a user in SAP ONE Support Launchpad with the authorization Service Reports and Feedback for the respective customer numbers.


4. See also SAP Note 1684537 for troubleshooting the data collection and sending.

In case of any issue with the application open an incident on component SV-SCS-EWA.
