Undoing Data Replacements
After you run the Replace process, select to review your results and decide whether to undo any of the replacements.
This section discusses how to:
-
Replace replacement text.
-
Enable or disable undo processing.
Reviewing Replacement Text
To review replacement text:
-
Review the results of the Replace process.
The Review Translations Replace page shows the same information as the Replace Data page.
The Base Text and, if applicable, the Non-Base Text show the original text.
You can see how many pages display the text, and you can click the View Text Search Details button to see details about these pages.
The Replacement Text field shows what was—or would have been—substituted for the original search text.
The Replaced check box indicates whether the original search text was replaced. At this point, the original text has been replaced, but the change has not been finalized.
The Field Name, Length, Record and RLang Rec columns provide details about where the text is stored in the database.
-
Selectively enable and disable undo processing.
You can undo some of the replacements without undoing all of them. Control which occurrences are replaced using the Undo check boxes.
Select Undo for those rows where you want to back out of your changes. Leave the Undo check box clear for the rows where you’re satisfied with the replacement. When you run the Undo process, only the selected rows are affected.
-
Click the Save button.
Enabling or Disabling Undo Processing
To enable or disable undo processing:
-
To enable replace processing, select the Undo Ready check box.
The Undo process picks up only the rows where this check box is selected.
-
To permanently disable undo processing for this search, click the Complete button.
This button changes the status of the results to Complete. Once this happens, no further processing is possible. Any replacements that have been made, including changes to messages, are now finalized.

Click the Save button.
