Lists all rules in the current application RuleSets that have a method status (pyMethodStatus property ) of Extension, indicating an extension point. Frameworks have rules marked as extensions when a generic version (or even empty) of the rule does not apply and an application built on that framework needs to override and update the rule for it to be meaningful.

The Enterprise Accelerator identifies and copies the extension rules into the new application. This menu option allows you to find such extension point rules, to determine what needs to be updated.   5.4 SP2
