Hi,

If the assets and referenced pages are more, then you can create one groovy script or servlet which will read the asset files from specific folder and move it to destination folder. Continuing to same script create one query which will read the nodes from provided path for reading the property value and if any property matches with old asset path then set the same property with new asset path where the asset is moved. Please find below Servlet example for one the we-retail asset movement and reference update.
