=item	DefinitionType	(required)

a value of either "xml" or "def" identifies the format to export the serialized object definition into
NOTE: as of ARS 7.6.04 XML definition export of forms with overlays applied does NOT work (though def format does).
BMC Support Ticket: ISS04238696 is open on this issue.

this will delete an ARS Object from the ARServer. It probably goes without saying but you know ...
indescriminate use of this function can turn a perfectly good day of gainful employment into a hellacious nightmare
that ends with standing in line at the unemployment office ... so ... be careful m'kay?
