Globally Replacing Field Values in the ReportCaster Repository

How to:

Globally Replace a Field

Clicking on the Tools menu enables you to globally replace the following fields:

Mail Server. Replaces the mail server name in every schedule that is using the specified e-mail server.
FTP Server. Replaces the FTP server name in every schedule that is using the specified FTP server.
Printer. Replaces the printer name in every occurrence of any Distribution List or schedule that is using the specified printer.
EMail Address. Replaces the e-mail address in every occurrence of any Distribution List or schedule with e-mail distribution using the e-mail address. Notification e-mail addresses are not changed.
Mail From. Replaces the optional From field in every schedule that uses e-mail or has library notification and has the specified value.
Owner. Replaces the owner user ID in every occurrence of any Distribution List, Library Access List, or schedule that is owned by the user ID. It also changes ownership of Execution IDs and of report output stored in the Report Library, and user IDs specified in a Library Access List. Note, however, that this option does not change the owner for log reports.

Procedure: How to Globally Replace a Field

From the ReportCaster Console, click Tools.

Type an Old Value for one of the fields, for example, Owner, as shown in the following image. This is the field that you will be globally replacing. Note that values for all fields are case sensitive.

Type a value in the New Value field that will replace the value in the Old Value field. The following image shows a New Value of hill to replace the Old Value of chuck.

If you have entered an incorrect value, you can click the Refresh icon to clear all field values.

Click the Update icon. A message appears requesting confirmation that you want to perform the update.
Note: Although information may be entered in more than one field (for example, EMail Address and Owner), only the currently selected field will be updated.

Click OK to globally replace the old value of the specified field with the new value.
A message appears informing you of the tables that have been updated in the ReportCaster Repository, and the amount of updates for each table.
