You can replace objects. I think it's an option in the context menu in the process assembly object explorer (don't have an ae by my hand right now).
So just a little manual effort is required that is applied to all workflows.
If you don't want to work with subworkflows I would mass-export and mutate the json definitions of the workflows. It's more straight forward than working with XML and would be easy to achieve with a small python script.

thanks for your reply Pete.
Wouldn't that mean 1000's of manual changes required to set up the child process for each workflow though?
Whereas we're querying whether there's a way to update 1000's of workflows, either in part or as a whole, via some scripting or available mechanism

Hi all,
We are using CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine, Release 12.3
and have a requirement to change 1000's of process flows that currently contain one particular FTP object.
The new scenario would be that those existing FTP objects would be updated to a new DMZ FTP object and an additional extra object added
to
Is this something that would be possible to do in some kind of batch script?
Is this something that Broadcom recommends?
Is there a recommended process to do this? AE DB Change to a Transport Case perhaps? Or exporting via XML and making changes there?
I raised a case and the feedback was...
It may be possible to achieve this goal, by using the REST API feature. Importing json container with the updated definition of the target workflow with the POST method "/{client_id}/folderobjects" will work, however working out the correct skeleton of the Json body will require to be familiar with this feature.
However, I don't think folderobjects is available in 12.3
If it's possible, does anyone have any thoughts on the best / most appropriate way to do this?
Many thanks in advance
