Issue/Introduction
When I launch Event Configuration tool, it showed the Event list loading dialog but then suddenly it stopped and Event Configuration tool doesn't load any event data, the UI show blank (empty) event data. This symptoms happen on multiple client machines.
If I go to Windows Control Panel, open Java Control Panel and select to launch Java Console in Advance tab and launch OneClick Console and then Event Configuration tool to reproduce the problem, Java Console shows the following Java exception.

Environment
Spectrum 10.2.3 on all platforms
Cause
There is incorrect event code in the filename of Event Format file in $SPECROOT/custom/Events/CsEvFormat directory on OneClick Server machine. Event Format files have the following filename convention
Event<event_code>_<locale info in language_region format>
Where <event_code> is the 4-byte, hexadecimal event code assigned to the event. For example, an event with an event code of 0x12345678 has an event format file named Event12345678_en_US. If number of digit in <event_code> is wrong then this problem occurred.
Event<event_code>_<locale info in language_region format>
Where <event_code> is the 4-byte, hexadecimal event code assigned to the event. For example, an event with an event code of 0x12345678 has an event format file named Event12345678_en_US. If number of digit in <event_code> is wrong then this problem occurred.
Resolution
Remove those incorrect Event Format files and relaunch Event Configuration tool. You may also want to restart OneClick Server during maintenance window to reflect the modification in Event Format files correctly.
If you have the same Event Format files within your SpectroSERVER machine, please do the same and restart Alarm Notifier.
Fixed with 10.02.03.PTF_10.2.318
Symptom: Event Configuration Editor(ECE) display blank and Java Console log show java.lang.NullPointerException.
Resolution: Event Configuration Editor(ECE) will skip the incorrect custom event files if any and load the
events smoothly.
