Error: 'You are not authorized to perform the requested action' when trying to create a warehouse

I'm trying to create a dashDB warehouse from Cloudant. I have provided my IBM ID for Bluemix and Cloudant appears to have logged me on ok, however when I try to create the warehouse I get the following error:

Error: provision_dynamite_warehouse: 
   cloudant_user=****, 
   bluemix_user=****@****, 
   error: {
      u'user_error_message': u'You are not authorized to perform the requested action', 
      u'error_code': 10003, u'internal_error_message': u'CF-NotAuthorized'
   }

As a test, I have successfully logged into bluemix using the same credentials and instantiated a dashDB service.

What does this error 'actually' mean? How do I resolve or debug it?

Solution

  • Cloudant is available in different regions as is Bluemix. When you create a warehouse in Cloudant, the SDP decides which Bluemix region to create the dashDB instance.

    In the question, I stated that I had successfully created a dashDB instance. However, I created that instance in a different bluemix region (US) to the region SDP was trying to use (UK). When I logged into bluemix and selected the UK region and tried to create a warehouse, I ran into the following error:

    By fixing the above issue, I was able to create a warehouse in dashDB from Cloudant using the SDP.
