These 'events' are undocumented and should remain so. You are not supposed to use these unless instructed by support.

I work in Technical Support (Belgium) and even we can't get hold of any documentation on this. Only the support 'Supercenters' (escalation centers) have this kind of info.

There is a good reason for this. These events can cause great damage to a database if used not properly.

Don't touch !
