For examples of the actions that you can perform on this list panel, see Working with historical versions of resource definitions.

The journal contains historical versions of resource definitions only for changes made using CICS Configuration Manager. If you use another method to edit a resource definition, such as the CEDA transaction supplied with CICS, then the journal will not contain the version prior to that edit. For details, see Resource definition changes reported by CICS Configuration Manager.

You can also produce batch reports of changes to resource definitions. For details, see Auditing actions and changes to resource definitions.
