Recovering historical versions
"Recovering" a historical version of a resource definition means reinstating a resource definition in a CSD file or a context to a state that existed at some earlier point in time, before or after a change recorded in the CICSĀ® Configuration Manager journal.
You can recover historical versions of resource definitions using the following methods:
- "Edit", and then save or save as
- Enter E next to a change (displayed
under primary menu option 4.3
Historical Reports: CICS definitions) or a historical
version (displayed by line action H),
and then save the displayed image.
For details on this method, see Recovering a historical version of a specific resource definition.
- Enter REC next to one or more changes
- The REC line action enables you
to recover the before or after images of a set of changes that match
your criteria. For example, you can use REC to
undo (or redo) all of the changes by a particular user in a particular
period of time.
The REC line action is only available under primary menu option 4.3 Historical Reports: CICS definitions. For details on using REC, see Recovering historical versions of multiple resource definitions.
