Information Spaces can fail to index for a number of reasons. Can you paste in the error you received within the Explorer gui when it failed? Once it fails, you can get to the error by hovering your mouse over the yellow triangle in the "Manage Spaces" section. Or if you drill into the properties of the Information Space, there should be a textbox in the middle of the page that has displays the last error/warning.
Index Creation Failed (The execution of the specified analysis query failed.-A database error occured. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon). (WIS 10901))
When we try to create infospace based on standard efashion universes..it works
I am also not able to assign the infospaces to other users..how to make this available for others ?
The error is pretty straight forward. Its an authentication issue. Was this an information space built off of a BWA index? or a BW universe? If a BWA index, the cause is probably due to a missing or misconfigured authorization in the BWA index. If using a BW universe, try creating a webi document with the same fields... see if this fails as well.
To your 2nd question, security for Explorer is handled in the CMC just like any other report object.
If webi isn't working either, then its definitely a security issue outside of Explorer. You'll need to check into your authorizations set within BW. I believe the authorizations can be set at different levels, so its possible on field is causing the error. Maybe try to create the report in webi one field at a time until it breaks again. If it doesn't work with any, then there's a higher level authorization that needs to be corrected in BW.
The Information Space is "owned" by the user that created it. However just like a webi or CR document, you can assign security to the object within the CMC. If you go into the properties of the InformationSpace under Manage Spaces > Configure, you'll find the Enterprise folder the Information Space is saved into. By default, I believe they get saved to a favorites folder for the user that created it. But this can be changed to a public folder. Once in a public folder, the users that have rights to view this object will be able to see the Information Space within the Explorer ui.
I am getting the same error: Index Creation Failed (The execution of the specified analysis query failed.-A database error occured. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon). (WIS 10901)) while creating index on new information space which is created on BOBJ universe connected to SAP BW Bex query.
The above error only occurs if the Universe connection is SSO SAP BW.
If I specify userid and password of SAP BW in the universe connection without using SSO, then above error "index creation failed" does not occur.
BO explorer simplied version 3.2 does not support SSO(Single sign on)? Please clarify.
BW developer was using Universe Desiigner for the first time and when they tried to create a new Connection to SAP BW, they would receive "Unable to connect to SAP BW server Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)" message.
Other BW developers could create a BW connection on this same PC, so that seemd to rule out any software/configuration issue.
The BW developer's password included the special character &. Their pswd worked fine when logging on to BW directly, but something in the universe connection did not like the &. When they changed their BW pswd to remove the &, they were able to create the BW connection.
