History - EDL Entity Property
History string
The History entity property controls how the Show Object History popup menu item
behaves. This property is optional.
•
When a History string is not specified, the ASAP Client automatically tries to
display a report window on the object.
•
When a History string is specified, the contents of string are used to form a
database query that is sent to the ASAP Server, and the result is displayed in an
ASAP Report Window.
If the string contains the “^” character, the name of the object you selected in the
Grid or Graph area of the ASAP Browse window is substituted.
For example, if the History string for the Process entity is specified as:
HISTORY “PROCESS ^, TAB, SAMPLE 12”
If you right-click an element in the Browse window graph that corresponds to Process
\Chicago.$MyApp and then select Show Object History, an ASAP Report window
displays:
PROCESS \CHICAGO.$MYAPP, TAB, SAMPLES 12
Applies to: Client and Server
Default: HISTORY ““ -- null
