Is there a good way to help me find a timer script that looks to have a hard coded DB table to it?  
That table doesnt exist anymore and causing errors.

How do you know that error is coming from a script? Store-and-forward operations on `sqlt_data_...` tables are typically entirely internal to the tag historian. Use the tag report tool to find tags that have their storage provider set to `IgnitionHud`.

Those logs are coming from scripts that have an explicit `system.util.getLogger("testdtqLibrary")` or similar. Search your projects for the names on the left.

Consider changing all calls to `system.util.getLogger()` to include the result of `system.util.getProjectName()` in the logger name. (I also use [system.reflect.getModulePath()](https://www.automation-pros.com/toolkit/doc/reflection.html#pyobject) for loggers in any project library scripts.)

Would I search that in my designer or somewhere on the gateway?

The designer will only search one project at a time, but can also search in binary project resources. Using `grep` in the gateway filesystem won't search binary resources, but can search the rest of the gateway in one go.
