Please select an event row from the table on the Event Definitions page or search for an event by its name. Click on the Export—XML menu option.
The file is exported as XML and downloaded to a local folder. I've included a sample XML here for you to look over.
<eventDefinitions><eventDef category="cDevWorkflow" name="definitionCreated" /><params> <item key='definitionID'></item> <item key='definitionName'></item> <item key='externalUserName'></item> <item key='userID'></item></params></eventDefinitions>
Select an event row from the table or search for an event by name. Click on the Export—SQL menu option. The file is exported as SQL and downloaded to a local folder. A sample SQL is included here for reference.
INSERT INTO [deEventDefinitions] ([EVENTDEFID],[EVENTCATEGORY],[EVENTNAME],[PARMSXML],[CREATEDATETIME]) VALUES('6fd76ec9-4772-4c33-bca4-5e042ce3788c','cDevWorkflow','definitionCreated','<params> <item key='definitionID'></item> <item key='definitionName'></item> <item key='externalUserName'></item> <item key='userID'></item></params>','2023-08-02T05:01:33')
