I have been using sierra charts through an IBKR connection for a couple of months now and received this error message this morning. I cleared the message log, disconnected, and reconnected the feed. Here is the message log for your review:

IB futures symbols were changed this weekend. GLOBEX is being replaced by CME in the symbol name. ES-202212-GLOBEX is now ES-202212-CME. Go to chart settings and change the symbol to the new symbol.

Once the global symbol settings are updated, is there a way to automatically change the symbols across all chartbooks, charts, watchlists, quoteboards, and instances?
