Easier management of data sources for both input/output

After developing complicated workflows (using over 200 tools and over 30 inputs and outputs) in my DEV or QA environment, I need to switch over to Production to deploy it, but it's incredibly annoying to have to change 30 data inputs individually from QA to Prod, DEV to QA, etc. If I need to go back to QA to change something and re-test, I have to do it all again. etc.etc.


I need a way to be able to change mass amounts of data sources at once or at least make the process a lot more streamlined to make it bearable. Otherwise it is incredibly difficult to work within multiple environments.

Very common need - some platforms like SSIS achieve this by allowing you to specify alternative connections for dev and prod on every connection- that way you don't risk accidentally breaking something due to a typo,  post-testing during your prod migration
