Unable to update data connection password of a data source in imam by using the command-line interface in Cloud Pak for Data

Troubleshooting


Problem

 Running the imam command with the updateDCPwd action in Cloud Pak for Data doesn't update the data connection password or renders inconsistent results. 

Symptom

Run the imam command with the updateDCPwd action:
cd /opt/IBM/InformationServer/ASBServer/bin
./imam.sh -action updateDCPwd -u <<username>> -w <<password>> -fp /opt/dc1.csv -s <<host_name>>
The command fails with the following error:
<list id="1">
  <com.ibm.mmi.rest.handler.impl.UpdateDCPasswordHandler_-UpdateDCPasswordResultFormatter id="2">
    <importAreaName>test1</importAreaName>
    <isPasswordUpdateSuccessful>false</isPasswordUpdateSuccessful>
    <failureMessage>DataConnection password has been updated in staging but not in active repository.</failureMessage>
    <outer-class id="3"/>
  </com.ibm.mmi.rest.handler.impl.UpdateDCPasswordHandler_-UpdateDCPasswordResultFormatter>
</list>
