DEFINITION_FILE - UEMLoad configuration option
Description
The DEFINITION_FILE option specifies a file that is either read from or written to, depending on the value of the ACTION option:
- If ACTION specifies -add, -update, or -delete, DEFINITION_FILE specifies the path to a text file that contains the parameters for one or more event definition and/or event handler records.
- If ACTION specifies -export, DEFINITION_FILE specifies the path to a text file to which the contents of the event definition and event handler records (requested using the EVENT_ID and HANDLER_ID options, respectively) are written.
Note
A database export is the only situation in which DEFINITION_FILE and the EVENT_ID and/or HANDLER_ID options can be specified together. DEFINITION_FILE is ignored if ACTION specifies -list.
When parameters for more than one event definition or event handler record are specified in a definition file, certain keywords are required to mark the beginning and ending of each record. These keywords, along with other rules specific to definition files, are described in /wiki/spaces/UA73/pages/3771460 and /wiki/spaces/UA73/pages/3771448.
