"Parcel service" how to extract/export all settings/configuration ?

We are exporting batches of reports using "Parcel service" - each report is exported to a folder with "2022_March" in its name. At the beginning of April (and every month) I had to go into each report's path and manually change the path to "2022_April" of each output filename-report to reflect the new month. 

I think the solution is to extract (export ) the Parcel reports parameters to XML file, change the paths manually, then re-import the new XML file. However, I exported all Dashboards and application - I was not able to find Parcel report parameters.
Any idea where to extract them?

We Clicked on System> Environment under the Tools menu. - Click on an App Server within the Application Server Sets menu. -On the Configuration tab, there is an entry for FileShareRootFolder; but that's not where the path is defined.

Davy,

I believe the parameter info you are looking for are stored in the Parcel Service tables.  From System > Database, expand 'Application Database' then 'Tables. Look for the following tables:

    Thanks for your help. Paths were in PackageContents table.
    Do you know if we will break anything if we update that path in the PackageContents table directly?
