We are wondering if there is a way to search for a specific string in all workflows/database connection strings, etc in Automate Enterprise 11. We frequently change server names: IE file servers or SQL servers, and it would benefit us to be able to proactively know which Automate tasks/workflows are going to have to change with a server name change/move. Is there a spot in the database or on the file system of the Automate server that is searchable for strings like server names, etc? Thanks.

Hello Zachary,

Unfortunately there is no way to accomplish this on a global level. There is a search function within tasks, but not for overall workflows. Here is more info on that serach in case you need it:

You may want to use constants, which are variables that can be used within tasks, but are set globally. This way if you need to make a change, you can update the constant and the change will be reflected when everywhere the constant is used. Here is more information on constants:
