To set options for Find and Replace

  1. In MicroStrategy Developer, if the Find and Replace dialog box is not already open, select Find and Replace from the Tools menu. The Find and Replace dialog box opens.

    You must be logged in to a project before you access the Find and Replace dialog box.

  2. Click Options at the bottom of the Find and Replace dialog box.

  3. By default, the log file is saved in Program Files\Common

  4. Select one of the following methods to create the log file:

    • Overwrite File (the default) replaces the existing log file.

    • Append to File adds the new log information to the end of the existing log file.

    • Circular log file overwrites the existing log file from the beginning after the maximum file size is reached. If you select this method, enter the maximum File Size.

  5. Select whether to Show message after update in Find and Replace dialog. The message is a status message, noting the number of reports/templates that have been updated.

  6. Select whether to Hide save options dialog for report with link template. When the check box is cleared, the Advanced Save Options dialog box opens for each report containing a shortcut to a stand-alone template. If you select the check box, choose which of the following options to apply to all reports with shortcuts to stand-alone templates:

    • Create a local copy of the template, which does not propagate the change to the template. The template becomes embedded in the report.

    • Retain the shortcut to the template, which changes the linked template and subsequently all other reports containing shortcuts to it.

  7. Click OK to save your changes and return to the Find and Replace dialog box.
