Object History 

Each object can have more than one version. A new object version is created each time the object is included in a change list (for example, when you save for the first time). When the object is activated in the change list, the object version is then closed. If the changes made to an object in the change list are rejected, then the corresponding object version is returned.

The object version must not be confused with the software component version to which an object can be assigned.

Choose <Object>  ®  History from the object menu in the object editor to display the previous versions for each object.

On the screen Display History, the system displays all previous versions of the object, in other words, all versions except for the current object version.

The following information is displayed for each version:

·        User who made created the object version

·        Date and Time that the object version was created

·        Procedure

The following values are possible for this attribute:

¡        Created

Always indicates the first object version. This is created when you activate for the first time or import.

¡        Change

Indicates versions in which changes were made to the contents.

¡        Deleted

Indicates objects that have been deleted. Objects with this version are regarded as no longer being available.

For example, this situation may occur when multiple users open the same object and one user deletes it (then activates it in the change list).

To open a version, on the Display History screen, select the version and proceed by:

·        double clicking, or

·        choosing Open Version () in the context menu.

It is possible to open multiple versions simultaneously. To do so, select the versions concerned and choose Open Version () from the context menu. An object editor is opened for each version. The object name and the version are specified on the tab page. The version is also displayed in the Status field in the header of the object editor.
