Is there a way to bulk convert “Application system” objects to “Application system type” objects without losing model connections?

Hi everyone,

I have a large number of “Application system” objects in ARIS that I need to convert to “Application system type” objects.

My goal is to do this in bulk, while preserving all existing connections/relationships in the models where these objects are used.

At the moment, the manual approach seems to be:

1. Open each process model/map
2. Delete the Application system object occurrence
3. Replace it with an Application system type object
4. Go back to the group/folder
5. Delete the now-orphaned Application system definition (since it no longer has any occurrences)

Because I’m dealing with a very large number of objects, doing this manually is not practical. Are there any best practices or automated approaches to handle this efficiently?
