During data pipeline connectivity, if passwords differ between environments, what should you do?

• A. Reinstall FAW
• B. Update applicable user’s credentials, if passwords differ between environments
• C. Change the data source URL
• D. Run a test job manually

Answer: (B)

When a data pipeline connects to a data source, authentication details are usually specific to each environment. If the password stored or used by the pipeline differs from the password configured in that environment, the connection will fail at login. The right course is to update the credentials tied to that environment so the pipeline uses the correct username and password for that data source. If your system supports a secure secret store or per-environment configuration, map the environment to its own credential set so development, testing, and production each have valid credentials. Changing the data source URL or reinstalling components won’t fix an authentication mismatch, and running a test will reveal the issue but doesn’t resolve the underlying credential mismatch. Updating the applicable user’s credentials restores connectivity correctly.
