Find and Replace

[stuckintraffic]

Does anyone know how to do a find and replace text such as use case names all within EA? I'm running version 7.1.831

I think the only way is to go directly to the database, but be VERY carefull when messing around with that.
Another suggestion that was made previously on this forum is to export your model to xmi, do a find/replace on that, and then import it again. But again, be very carefull not to mess anything up.

Geert's warnings about taking care are quite correct.

At the risk of stating the obvious, I strongly suggest you interpret these methods as follows: "...a copy of the database..." and "...import it again into a copy of your model." This will help prevent a nasty shock should you the things 'almost' right with the first few attempts.

Thanks for your responses! I was really hoping to avoid the methods you just described too   :-/
