Replacing Message Text

The Replace Messages page provides a focused view of all the Message Catalog entries that satisfy the search criteria. Use this page to review the messages and make replacement changes manually. You can use this feature at any time in the Search, Replace, and Undo process.

Note:

You must manually update message text. If you continue to the Undo step, you must also manually back out of your changes. The automatic Replace and Undo process for other database objects does not apply to message text.

To review search results and update message text:

1. Click the Review Messages button to load the results into the page.

   Once the results are loaded, you can see each message that contained the search text from your search.

2. (Optional) Inspect the original search criteria.

   Click the View Search Criteria button to display a read-only version of the search criteria.

3. Review the messages.

   You can see only one message at a time on this page. To review the messages, page through them and look at each one individually.

4. Edit the messages as necessary.

   As you review the messages, determine whether it is appropriate to replace the text or reword the message. When you decide to make changes, edit the text directly on this page. Saving the page updates the Message Catalog.

   Note:

   You must update message text manually. The automatic Replace process for other database objects does not apply to message text.

5. Click the Save button.
