 We are using BuildForge for both build and deployment. Before deploy to different environments, I need to replace some values in the config file. Does BF has something like token replacement in UrbanCode Deploy?

Believe this would be the dot command .strsub you would be looking for to modify the config files.

.strsub
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSB2MV_8.0.0/com.ibm.rational.buildforge.doc/topics/dotcmd_strsub.html

.strsub <source> <replacement> file [file ...]

Use the .strsub command to perform basic string replacement in one or more text files. The system scans the target files for the <source> string; where a match is found, the system replaces the <source> string with the <replacement>. The .strsub command replaces every instance of the string (source) on each and every line in each file.
