interesting, I forgot about that one...
I've used archgid to change field IDs only. Never tried for a form/table ID. 
Not sure if I would use it though...if it's one of those features that are not 
heavily used, you may end up finding an undocumented feature!

You could use archgid, it can change table ID’s too….it goes through the system 
and updates all appropriate references…..while I’ve never used it for forms, I 
have used it for fields successfully in the past.  Do a search for recent posts 
regarding where to get the latest version from the jar files :)

Subject: ARS v7.5 - importing forms changed Table ID

**
Hi Everyone,

We gave up trying to do the ARS v7.5 platform upgrade on our servers.  Five 
months was enough time to waste on that.  Yes, we tried everything ... that's 
not my question here today.

Sooooo, we decided to build a new server (vm) and start from scratch with a 
brand new ARS v7.3 P3 install.  That worked great.  ITSM is NOT involved in 
this process at all.

Then I exported forms and other workflow objects and did the imports.  Kind of 
a long job because the new server database is on a very slow SAN (nothing I can 
fix right now).

It had not occurred to me that I would loose my original Table ID associated 
with that form on another server.  This is a problem since there is workflow 
with SQL statements which of course I can change.  But, we also have numerous 
programs pulling data from Remedy that use the Table ID's created by another 
development group.  This would require them to change their programs, possibly 
dblinks etc.  Not a prospect I'm looking forward to.

I've only imported data in a couple of forms so far (12 hours worth) and don't 
want to proceed if I'm going to delete it anyway.  I'm using rrrChive for the 
data and thankfully it's bringing over the correct field 1 values.  I do have 
to figure out how to use rrrChive to include a date modified parameter to get 
updates.

Has anyone been successful at changing a Table ID and how did you do it?  Were 
there any ramifications?

Appreciate your help, thanks,

Susan
