That was my plan, I was just trying to limit the Gigantic XML part and only locate the ones that needed changing, but I guess I have a follow up, if I have a gigantic XML of filters, if I import the whole list again, but only the web service calls ones have changed, will all get imported, or just the ones that have changed?

Doing this you can scroll backward from the end point and determine the filter names 3) export just those filters as XML 4) search/replace the old endpoint hostname with the new endpoint hostname and save the file 5) import the file 6) done :-) It's a little duct tapey so you know ... Be careful and test it on a dev machine first, but it totally can work. Have used that trick hundreds of times (literally) :-) Andy On Friday, June 13, 2014, Campbell, Paul (Paul) <p...@avaya.com<mailto:p...@avaya.com>> wrote: ** OK, I have a major challenge ahead of me, I have a Remedy 7.6.04 environment that is a fully custom app, no Out of the Box apps, that interacts with a third party application via Web Services calls. There are hundreds of filters/escalations involved, and the third party app is changing the URL it exposes for Web Service Calls. I need to find all of the filters and escalations that make web service calls so that I can change those URL endpoints. Does anyone have a good way to search for objects that have a Set Fields Web Service operation and generate a list? I don’t have Migrator or anything other third party tools like that at my disposal. What would be great is to be able to generate a Working List in Dev Studio, but I really haven’t had any luck getting the search feature to work, Ideas?
