Update whole content store to new packages

Hi All,

We have made a change to a few FM packages and would like to update all reports in our content store to pick up the FM changes (the new versions of the packages). Is there a way we can do it en masse?

or do we need to go through all the reports and update them manually?

In know there are products out there (MetaManager/Motio etc.) which can do this but it is a one-off and it would be good to know if we have missed a trick somewhere.

Cheers,
Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Other than doing it manually or using one of the products you mention, the only other way would be to write your own utility to do it via the SDK (assuming you have the SDK and the relevant programming environment and coding skills)

Cheers!

Thanks MF, I figured that would be the response.

Fortunately, someone was willing to sit there and go through them all.

Good news!! I hope "somebody" didn't end up being you! :)

Another option would have been to perform an UPDATE query against the content store directly during off-hours. Depending on the type of change that was made of course.
