Table Owner Change

edited March 2009 in General
I'm need to change the table owner name in many ( > 1000 ) reports and
I'm looking for an easy way to do it.

I'm using RBServer 10 and the reports are stored as RTM files on the
hard drive.

It looks like I could use a GREP utility against the text (rtm) files
and do a mass search and replace. Will I suffer any gotcha's doing it
this way? Is there an easy / better way to do this?

RB Enterprise 10 / Oracle 9 / Delphi 6 SP2

    Hi Jon,

    Yes, this is the easiest way to change multiple templates at once. Before
    letting the grep utility loose however, I would recommend selecting a simple
    template out of the bunch and converting it by hand to see if there are any
    other items you might look out for. Once you have this report working with
    the new table owner, you will know what is needed to convert all other
    templates.
