Update Infopath connections
Follow below steps to update InfoPath form connections, especially when you deploy form from one environment to another environment:
- Export all prod forms to their source files
- Open up the manifest file for each in a text editor.
- Change all references to new URL from old URL.
- Save the file.
- Right click on the manifest and open in design mode.
- Validate that all data connections point to test.
- Also ‘modify’ each data connection that points to a sp list. Just click modify on each list connection and next thru the wizard. This ensures the form has the correct list guid.
- Save the file to a new location. It will save as the combined xsn, but now its updated for test.
- Now you can make any changed needed and deploy the updates xsn files to test
