How can I search IPA variables for a hardcoded value?

We have several IPA's that have our domain name hard coded and need to search them all to find the value of 'xxxxx.org' in any of the variables in our custom IPA's.

Does anyone have a way to do that, or how I could do that?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but definitely check the Start node to see if they are assigned to a variable at start.

If they are not there, you may have to go node to node and look for something like _dataArea="YourProdDataArea" and replace it with _dataArea="<!appProdline>" <--- that variable will run the flow in whatever data area it is actually in.

You need to pattern match against the FlowXml field in the PfiFlowVersion business class. There are a number of ways you might be able to do this.

One way would be to create a report based on PfiFlowVersion.DataNavigationFlowVersionList and then add a filter to that report where FlowXml matches "^.*\.org.*$"

Note that this list contains all versions of each flow. You could probably to the same thing on PfiFlowDefinition business class to only check active versions of flows.

An .lpd file is really just an XML document, somewhat obfuscated by the fact that a lot of its content has had URL encoding applied to it. If I were you I'd pretty print the XML and then grep for (or open it in a text editor and search for) xxxxx.org and see where you get hits.

yes, that is what i thought would be the answer. I was not wanting to open each IPA but do a program or IPA to do a match with a regex to find all that exist with .org. I will try to get that working, thanks.

Linux/Unix/OS X: grep -l -i xxxxx.org *.lpd

Windows/DOS: findstr /M /I xxxxx.org *.lpd
