A Stonebranch Tip

To list or export all event definition and event handler records, no configuration options are required; simply specify the list or export action, respectively.

To export all records to a text file, simply specify a definition load file using the DEFINITION_FILE option.

In both cases, if no event ID, assigned component name, or handler ID is specified, all records in the event definition and event handler databases will be retrieved.
