Config Repository Error

Hi All,

   Today , I was facing some Strange Error in Production, Which is causing the Indexing not to be succeed and it is failing . We analysed the issue.

Caused by: com.endeca.soleng.eac.toolkit.exception.CasCommunicationException: Error Starting baseline crawl 'ATGen-last-mile-crawl'.Unable to login to config repository site for user "admin", status code: 401, Response:

ROOT CAUSE:

It seems to be config repository password got changed and it is unable to login in to it, during Indexing .

IDENTIFICATION:

We tried Many approaches Starting From Creating the Config Password and Changing it in the Credential Store Manager , which seems to be the Wrong Solution.

SOLUTION:

After Struggling for the hours together , we came in to the Solution of Deleting the Config Repository and Recreating it . Which is the Correct Solution and Worked also.

WARNING:

When you are deleting the Config Repository, we should be Aware that we are not Performing it , When the Site is Live or Busy, because Recreating the Crawl will change the Dimensions Id, Which will not have any impact if it was having Dimensions id Imported.If not all the Dimensions will change you will be having the Tough Time .  

This Issue was identified Often in Endeca 11.2 , not sure why it is exactly happening can fix this as of now with the above Solution . Happy Tricking !!!
