Search and Replace Utility
Retired: Search & Replace admin tool
Recommendation
Perform content transformations either by scripts incorporating workflow operations (such as via the workflow API or viewtool), or by exporting the content, altering it in its CSV, and re-importing it to overwrite.
Reason
This tool was rarely employed, and carried sufficient risks as to urge a backup before attempting.
It broke when dotCMS began storing content as JSON; that this went unnoticed for years is a testament to its general disuse.
You can use the Search and Replace Utility on the System -> Maintenance -> Tools tab to search and replace content throughout the content repository. It is recommended that you have a working database backup prior to using the utility as the changes made by this tool can not be rolled back. This is a necessary precaution in case you end up replacing more than you originally intended.
