For existing records, you can create a Runnable class and use a while select to update the records.

That runnable class I tried and it is working but in My task I need to this through event handler only. Is there any event handler available for this requirement.

Event handler will be called whenever an event happens in the form like editing a record, updating a record, inserting record etc.

If you want to update all records, you need to go for the runnable class which is formerly known as "Script".

So, there is no event handler concept for your scenario.

Thanks,

Actually this this is the full requirement

Add a new field that is named MyInventLocationId to the InventTable table through extension. implement the logic of filling the new field through event handler.

InventTable having Inventlocationid () method I need to call this method like as "InventTable.MyInventLocationId = InventTable.InventLocationId();

I need to fill this myinventlocationId field by calling this method through event handler.

If this possible please suggest me which event handler will I take

You should have rejected such a requirement, because - as you see - it doesn't allow you to design a solution. It's a bunch of implementation details without describing the goal.

Which event handler you should use (if any) depends on what event you want to react to, not what code you want to execute.

Also, "to use an event handler" isn't a business requirement. You're the developer; it's your responsibility to choose the appropriate technical solution for the given business requirement. But you can't design a solution without knowing what it should do, therefore ask your key user or a functional consultant to explain the business goal to you, instead of trying to design code on your behalf.

We have discussed it in another thread, this is a development practice requirement. As discussed, issue is that it's not a business requirement and it doesn't tell from where you should get myLocationId field and why to use event handler only.
