Well, it's not just the URL changing, it Is the port as well. I use XML Def exports to make these modifications (like when moving from UAT to production Servers) MUCH Easier as it doesn't do line breaks. Also, LJ, being the AWESOME guy that he is called me while he was on vacation to tell me he wrote a tool several years ago that will pull out a list of workflow with Web Service actions and it prints the endpoint URL out that he is willing to share, but the downside is he won't be back for a week. For that , I can wait

A web service - from the HTTP server side - is just a http/https call. If they are changing their endpoint, I think they should be able to put in a re-direct. I've never actually tested this, but it makes sense with what I know of web servers. For example, if the current address for the web service is http://someserver/myservice/etc they can probably put in a server-side redirect to send all queries to that to whatever the new URL is. But let's say that doesn't work out for whatever reason. The exceptionally manual way to do this is... 1. Export all filters, escalations 2. Put the def file in Textpad (or your favorite text editor) 3. start searching for ARSYS.ARF.WEBSERVICE, or the URL of the web service in question 4. Note the object name for each one you find embedded 5. Change as necessary in Dev Studio Unfortunately, I don't think you can do a search and replace in the DEF file, because the URL's are embedded character strings. It will look like this: set-field : 0\>\101\4\117\https://<url removed>/arsys/services/ARService?server=<servername removed>&webService=<WS name remove> You can try it, but I suspect - unless you are very lucky and the new and old URL's ahve the same # of characters - that it won't work.

There are hundreds of filters/escalations involved, and the third party app is changing the URL it exposes for Web Service Calls. I need to find all of the filters and escalations that make web service calls so that I can change those URL endpoints. Does anyone have a good way to search for objects that have a Set Fields Web Service operation and generate a list? I don't have Migrator or anything other third party tools like that at my disposal. What would be great is to be able to generate a Working List in Dev Studio, but I really haven't had any luck getting the search feature to work, Ideas?
