I have a custom plugin function developed which is used in a lot of interfaces and SAIL forms. I am now changing its name and redeploying again. I will be required to update the new name in all the interfaces/expression where the plugin function is in use.

Is there a way where I can quickly find the interfaces/expressions that are using the old plugin function? (Something like Impact Analysis)

You can export everything and do a search in the extracted ZIP files. Maybe the function call is not directly the name of the function but replaced by a UUID. You would have to check that.

Thank you Stefan. I also thought the same later and searched in 'content' directory of the application. I decided to use grep command: grep -nr regexPattern content. Then noted down the name of each expression rule/interface. It is not using UUID, the function name is preserved in the xml files.

An idea for the future is to wrap the plugin call into an expression und only use this. That way you could use the impact analysis. Might be a small hit in performance though.
