FindAndReplaceWorkspacePath Method (Layer)

A string that represents the workspace path or connection file you want to find. If an empty string is passed, then the workspace path will be replaced with the replaceWorkspacePath parameter depending on the value of the validate parameter.
A string that represents the workspace path or connection file you want to replace to.
(Optional) -true- the workspace will only be updated if the replaceWorkspacePath value is a valid workspace. If it is not valid, the workspace will not be replaced.
