Running the Replace Process

After you have finalized your replacement text and settings in the Translations Search Replace page, you must run a Replace process to actually make the replacements. Running the Replace process updates the search status from Searched to Replaced.

After you run the Replace process, you have one last chance to back out any changes made by the process.

See Replacing Message Text.

WARNING:

Once you change the search status and update the search status, you can no longer view this search in the Search Result/Update pages. Be sure that you are finished with both pages, that is, you have finished manually editing your messages, before you change the status.

To run the Replace process:

1. Select PeopleTools, and then Translations, and then Modify Terminology, and then Run Translations Replace.

2. Search for an existing run control ID or add a new one.

   Use the standard search or add method to enter your run control ID and access the Run Translations Replace page.

3. Verify that the appropriate search definitions will be processed.

   By default, the Replace includes all search definitions that have the status Searched and have the Replace Ready check box selected. If a search appears here that you do not want to run, go back to the Translations Search Replace page and clear the Replace Ready check box. If a search is missing, go back to the Translations Search Replace page and select the Replace Ready check box.

   Click the View Search Criteria button to display a read-only version of the search criteria. This is useful when you want to confirm which set of criteria you’re processing.

4. Click the Run button.

   The Process Scheduler Request page appears.

5. Complete the Process Scheduler Request page.

   See Process Scheduler: Submitting Process Requestsand Process Scheduler: Scheduling Process Requests.

6. Click OK.

   The Replace process runs. Once the replace is complete, you can navigate to the Review Translations Replace page to view the results.
