Export list of System Names

The documentation (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgece ... b0f65.html) describes that to generate a hyperlink to an application, one should "use the Properties pane to find the System Name" (point 1).

Is there any way to export a list of system names for all applications? I want to be able to just copy all and paste into Excel but that doesn't seem to be an option.

You can get them from the }externals folder in your data directory.

Or within the }Applications folder you open the .blob file corresponding to the application entry and open it with a text editor and the ENTRYREFERENCE property contains the hyperlink with the system name from }Externals. I think this is the easier route.

Is there any way to access it if I don't have access to the data directory? I can only use Perspectives.

With a fair amount of TI code probably... But whether it's efficient is far from unsure ;-)
