We use the OAS/OAC catalog manager in order to perform updates in analytics XML (search and replace)
Could this tool be moved to a Cloud browser function to replace the current client tool?
If you are asking for a specific enhancement request, then check the Ideas Lab to see what is logged that you can up-vote/comment on. If one is not logged, then any customer can log one.
The overall roadmap strategy for catalog manager is to move functionality to browser-based and/or API-based.
Some of the functionality is already browser based (not specifically 'search and replace')

It is there, it's called web service, because that's mostly what the Catalog Manager does.
And if you check the roadmaps (or some of the sessions where Oracle talks about it), they plan to get rid of the catalog manager at some point in the future.
Thanks, Gianni, forgot to add the SOAP services.
