Selecting multiple changes for the same resource definition
If the changes that you select with the REC line action include multiple changes for the same resource definition (same name, type, group, and CICSĀ® configuration), then:
- Choosing to recover after images recovers the after image of the most recent of the selected changes for that resource definition.
- Choosing to recover before images recovers the before image for the oldest of the selected changes for that resource definition.
The following figure illustrates this concept (most recent after image; oldest before image):

version from a set that includes multiple changes for the same resource
definition

This behavior means that, when you use REC to select a set of changes (rather than just a single change), you can think intuitively about recovering to a state before or after that set, without having to consider whether the set includes multiple changes for the same resource definition.
