Finding and replacing component attributes

Edit online

A system that you define can include a complex arrangement of components. Subsystems can contain nested subsystems, so executable maps are represented at various locations within the Navigator.

Using the More Find/Replace operation, you can easily locate and modify specific attributes associated with components defined in systems. Use the Find operation to locate card names, path names, or component names within a system; use the Replace operation to change the names. You can also use the Find and Replace operations to change specific settings across a set of components in order to adapt existing systems to new server environments.

Note: You can find and replace component names and path names, however you can only find card names. The replace operation cannot be used to replace card names.

The goal of the Find operation is to locate specific attributes associated with system components based on the search criteria that you define. For example, by using the Find and Replace operations, you can change the paths that specify where executable maps are located on target servers. From the More/Find Replace dialog, there are two types of Find options:

To list only those attributes that match a specific value based on your search criteria, enter a value in the Find What field and click Find.
To find all the attributes associated with the components in a system that match your specified search criteria, click Find All without entering a value into the Find What field.

Note: The text on the Find All button changes to "Find" when a value is entered in the Find What field.

You can change the display width of a column by moving your cursor on the border between column titles and then clicking and dragging the border to the desired width.
