This query previously used a gateway named "Gateway A" to connect to the folder. But "Gateway A" no longer has access to the folder due to new company policies. A new gateway named "Gateway B" has been registered and now has access to the folder that the query requires. The goal is to change the gateway used in this dataflow project so it uses the new "Gateway B".

The best way to validate the data source path is to go into the query where your data source function is being used and check the parameters being used for it. For this example, there is only one query that connects to a folder and this query has the **Source** step with the data source path defined in it. You can double-click the **Source** step to get the dialog that shows you the parameters used for your data source function. Make sure that the folder path, or the correct parameters for your data source function, is the correct one in relation to the gateway being used.
