I built out a process to complete some distribution analysis using the designer window, it grew over time and got pretty complex.  I never thought to export the code.

 

Unfortunately, I found out the file was moved into a new folder today and now the process will not run since it cannot find the original data file.  Is there a way to re-point the filtering and analysis to the new folder without the code?  Since it is the original source data the link filters does not seem to be an option.

Hi @RickyS,

 

While it is not exactly clear to me what moved in your case, there are several ways an EG project can be updated to handle data or files that have moved...

 

  1. If data or an external file has moved, you can right-click the data or external file node in the process flow, select the Properties context menu item, click the Change button, and then point to the data or external file in its new location.
  2. You can use Tools->Project Maintenance to update all the references to a particular server, library, data item, or folder in your current project to a new server, library, data item, or folder.
  3. You can use the Migration Wizard (MigrationWizard.exe, in the EG installation directory) to batch update all the references to a particular server, library, data item, or folder in one or more projects to a new server, library, data item, or folder.

One of those might meets your needs.
