<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Cause:
=====
ASChannel does not create or initialize any space. It only connects to the TIBCO ActiveSpaces metaspace and space. The AS metaspace and spaces need to be created and initialized before AS client connects to it.

Resolution:
==========
Create and initialize AS metaspace and spaces in prior to starting BE engine.

Receive "com.tibco.as.space.ASException: SYS_ERROR (space_def_not_found name=foobar)" while connecting to an ASChannel.
