Lifecycle Query Engine skips resources during indexing

When Lifecycle Query Engine doesn't index specific artifacts, the skipped resources are listed on the data provider status administration page. This issue can have various causes, and therefore different troubleshooting actions might be required.

Problem

If Lifecycle Query Engine skips data during indexing, a warning message flags the problem on the data providers administration page at http://<Host_name>:<port>/lqe/web/admin/data-sources.
Warning indicates that resources are skipped during indexing
The most common causes for skipped resources are internal server errors, socket timeout, authorization issues, deleted resources.
Authorization problem
Lifecycle Query Engine can't fetch Engineering Test Management (QM) resources. You configure the data provider permission in the wizard when you add a data provider. To resolve the authorization problem, go to the Data Providers administration page, and click the data provider name. Verify the authentication values. If they are correct, check the Jazz® Team Server authentication settings.
