History ViewLocate this document in the navigation structure

The History view displays a list with the various versions of the BW metadata objects, together with the version type and creation date.

Tip
  • You can call the History view by pressing Show in history view in the toolbar in an Eclipse-based editor.
  • With the Link with Editor and Selection switch in the toolbar for the view, you can link the view with the currently active editor. The History view is then updated each time you switch the active editor, hence each time you display a different BW metadata object in the editor. In this case, the History view always shows the versions for the object that is displayed in the active editor. If the switch is not set, the History view is not updated when you display a different BW metadata object in the editor. Using the Link with Editor and Selection switch means that is not possible to use the Pin this History View switch.
  • Using the Pin this History View switch in the toolbar for the History view, you can fix the History view to the currently selected editor (to the BW metadata object currently displayed). If you use this function, the History view is not updated when you display a different BW metadata object in the editor. Using the Pin this History View switch means that is not possible to use the Link With Editor and Selection switch.
  • If you choose Open in the context menu of an entry in the History view, the editor is opened and displays the corresponding version of the object.
