How to publish a job with a password in Talend 7.3.1 Remote Engine

[MattE]

This is a follow on from another topic (https://community.talend.com/s/question/0D55b00006c7WOGCA2/the-job-includes-at-least-one-password-ty...), I've actually got a support ticket open but thought I'd ask in here in case anyone has encountered and solved the same issue.

I've recently upgraded Studio from 7.1 to 7.3. Now, if i create a new job in 7.3 and publish to the remote engine it runs fine. however, if i try and republish a job which was created in a version prior to 7.3 the job fails in the remote engine. The error i get is complaining about passwords

[Amazon][JDBC](10100) Connection Refused: [Amazon][JDBC](11640) Required Connection Key(s): PWD; 

but I'm able to log these to confirm they are correct so I'm not convinced this is the true problem although if i change the password type from password to string then it works., however, sending a database password as a string is not good practice.

Talend's first suggestion was that this is a known issue with the Remote Engine and I should upgrade to the latest at the time (2.11.2) which i have done but the problem still persists.

Hi

This sounds like a bug on the job migration, you had better provide an example job in the ticket for our support team to reproduce the issue.

Thanks i will. I have found a work around. If you make sure that the box Transmit whole context is ticked on every tRunJob in the task then the job will run correctly. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a new requirement as you did not need to do this in Studio 7.1 and Remote Engine prior to 2.11.2.

if main job and child job have the same context variable, and you expect the variable always have the same value even though the value is loaded dynamically in main job, you should check the 'Transmit whole context' box on tRunJob.
