Alert migration for variables of custom properties

We are currently using NPM 12.0.1, which is upgraded from older version (usage started from version 9 and has been gradually upgraded as new versions came out).

We have used custom properties as variables in alerts, i.e. SLA, CustomerName, etc.

When NPM was upgraded, alerts were (mostly) migrated to new variable format, i.e. ${NodeID} to ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.NodeID}, etc.

However, variables of custom properties were not changed, which is logical because custom properties are custom made.

Is there way to mass change / migrate those variables of custom properties in alert actions?

Hello,

Is still these variables working in the new alerts?

If yes, Ill not touch them, there is backward compatibility for old macros.

Migration can be done only by SQL script.

I had the same issue during that upgrade. Alerts, custom reports, dashboards, etc.. and the company had outsourced coding a custom created capacity planning system that took several years of development to create and everything just broke.

As far as I know they are still on version 9.
