Replaces strings in files in a specific folder. See the Appendix for details about how to create the filters necessary to select the files you wish.
The string that is used as the needle can be a plain string or a regular expression.
This operation is suitable for files < 100MB, but not for very large files. The files are stored fully in memory during the replacement. Matching files are rewritten with the modified text. Files that seem to be binary in nature are skipped in this operation.

This operation delegates consumes/produces artifacts decision to the workflow developer.

This operation delegates endpoint selection to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default the selection to "All", which selects all available endpoints associated to the environment instance. Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the environment instance which have that resource defined.
This operation delegates endpoint execution to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default to "Any", which will execute on any one of the selected endpoints, which will be randomly picked from selected endpoints or a specific endpoint where previous step may have executed. Changing this value to "All" to will result in execution on all selected endpoints.
