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.

Back out a change package migration
For details on this method, see Processing a change package.
