is it possible to do mass update of reports in Crystal Server 2016 (aka BI 4.2)

Hi

I just migrated 800+ Crystal report objects to a new version of Crystal Server 2016 from BI4.2. The only issue I hahve is that all the recurring instances of he scheduled reporft are owned by administrator and they all fail when the attempt to run.

I have rescheduled a few of the reurring instance using my own user ID so now I am the owner and they run successfully. I really dont facy changing all 800 instances so I am looking for a mass update solution.

I know that prior to version 4.0 there use to be a utility that could be used to make mass changes, sadlly that particular tool has been withdrawn.

Does any know of a way to mass update the owner to be something other than administrator? or even a way to make the reports run with administrator as the owner, anysuggestion would be most helpful.

Thank you

LeRoy
