File Formats
Specific parts of the configuration to text files.
What can be exported is:
Event - Command configuration
The event-command configuration will be exported to a tab delimited text file
named ##EventBrokerConfig_<time>.txt.
An example of such a file is:
// File generated by APIS Snapins Configuration Export
// ##version:2## (do not modify this line)
##EventBrokerConfiguration## (EventModuleName.EventID CommandModuleName.CommandID)
ApisCalculate 1.8000 ApisCalculate 1.8000
ApisJava1.110 ApisJava1.100
ApisJava1.8000 ApisJava1.8000
ApisJava1.8000 ApisJava1.120
ApisOPC1.8000 ApisOPC1.8000
Java.110 Java.100
Java.8000 Java.8000
The third line indicates that this is configuration for event-commands, and the following lines represent connections between events and commands.
Important!
The required separator between the events and commands is a single [tab] character.
For clarity, the placement of the [tab] characters (⇥)
is highlighted below.

Modules
There will be one file for each module in the configuration.
The files are named <ModuleName>_##ModuleProperties_<time>.txt.
An example of such a file is:
// File generated by Apis Configuration Export
// ##version:2## (do not modify this line)
ModuleCLSID {d8e2d2c7-7bd5-4afa-8811-85e863c1d3a0}

ModuleStorageCLSID {4c854c93-c667-11d2-944b-00608cf4c421}

100 200 300 400 1600 1650 1700 1900
0 0 64 False 0 True
The module properties are registered immediately below the ##Module properties## line.
-
The first line contains the name of the property and is not actually used when importing.
-
The second line contains the ids of the properties.
-
The third line contains the values of the properties.
Important!
The required separator between the property attributes is a single [tab] character.
For clarity, the placement of the [tab] characters (⇥)
is highlighted below.

Items
There will be one file for each item type in each module.
The files are named <ModuleName>_<NameOfItemType>_<time>.txt.
An example of such a file is:
// File generated by Apis Configuration Export
// ##version:2## (do not modify this line)
ModuleCLSID {983b4ae2-abb9-11d2-9424-00608cf4c421}

-
The first part of the file is the same as for the modules, except it also contains a line for the item type, and that module properties are commented out.
-
The last part is a list of items. The columns are the properties of the item. The first column should always have id 0, and is the name of the item.
Important!
The required separator between the property attributes is a single [tab] character.
