Maybe it is fixed but there are a couple of things that the archgid does not fix. One of those that I cam recollect is Filter workflow that has web services - if the fields used in the web service mapping were changed.
I do not recollect the other exception unfortunately. Doug, I recall mentioning this to you at one of the RUGs.. And if I recollect correctly, it was version 7.6.04 back then when I had noticed it did not work on fields that were used in Filter Web service mappings.. Maybe the other place was a Web Service itself but I'm not sure.. If I ever have to use it again and notice where it does not work, I'll be happy to share.. But for the most part as Doug mentioned, it is a very reliable tool and have been thankful for it being around on countless occasions..

You mention that response became very slow. This seems to indicate to me that you had the server up and live and processing responses while you were running archgid. Is this the case? Remember, archgid is like performing open heart surgery. Your patient -- the server -- cannot be up and active and performing work while you are performing surgery. You have to have an outage. It is making direct SQL changes to the DB. It forces server recaching several times. It produces internal inconsistencies in the middle of its processing and corrects them later in the process. Archgid does fix the ids in workflow and it has done that reliably over the years. I am not sure what may be happening in your environment where you see the IDs not changing. The only thing I can assume is that there are errors occurring while trying to change the data due to the system being up and that is causing archgid not to finish its work completely.

Hope you guys are doing great! I was just changing few custom field ids to bmc recommended ids using utility/command "archgid" and found below issues: 1. AR Server become very slow to respond though i was changing id for single field. 2. New field is wasn't reflected into Filter(any other workflows) PFA snapshot This is not first time i faced these issues, I was doing same on 2 different environments and faced same both times. I have used below command, please let me know if I am missing something. archgid -c 2 -s form name -f field name -i newfieldID -u userID -p password -x servername -t port Could someone let me know why its not changing new ids into workflows. Then what is use of this command/utility.
