User Control - Re-Specify System Path

📝 Overview

This function allows you to change system path names by performing a find-and-replace across various GGP configuration files. It is commonly used when moving GGP to a new server.

⚙️ How It Works

The tool replaces all occurrences of the old source path with the new destination path in:

• The MasterOverlay Table

• All Department and User INI files within department system subfolders

• All Overlay Table INI files (GGPOTB) referenced

• All scripts referenced in any of the folders

• Print templates (*.gpt files) located in the same folders as script (*.scr) files

💡 Tips

• If you have scripts or print templates stored in folders not listed in any [Directories] section of your department or personal INI files, add temporary [Directories] keys in one of the department INI files for the conversion process.

• Example of adding [Directories] keys:

  [Directories]
  ScriptFolder1=path to first script folder\
  ScriptFolder2=path to second script folder\
  TemplateFolder1=path to first print template folder\
  TemplateFolder2=path to second print template folder\

• The keys like ScriptFolder1, TemplateFolder1 can be named arbitrarily.

• Important: Include the trailing backslash (\) as it is not automatically validated.
