Viewing the History of a Folder or Element
 
Version History Details
The VCS Integration feature provides the View History command to display the revision history of a selected folder or element. The View History command is not available at the package level.
*If the folder or element exists in the VCS repository, the lock status and VCS revision history is displayed.
*If the folder or element is not contained in the VCS repository (that is, it exists only on Integration Server), only the lock status of the element is displayed.
*If a selected element contains more than one file (for example, a flow.xml file and node.ndf file in a flow service), the VCS revision history presents information for each file.
*For ClearCase, the View History command displays the history of the folder or element in all branches that contain the file.
Note: Technically, folders are not checked in or checked out of the VCS repository; it is actually the elements within the folder that are checked in or out. When viewing the history for a folder, you are actually viewing the history of the node.idf file within the folder.
When you move or rename a folder or element, the previous folder or element is deleted and a new entity is created. This means that a new revision history is started for the moved or renamed entity as well. If you want to view previous revision information for a moved or renamed folder, or element, you must locate the deleted version of the file in the VCS repository and view the revision history there.
* To view the history of an element
1. In Package Navigator view, right-click the element for which you want to view history and select View History.
The elementName History dialog box appears. If necessary, you can copy text from the dialog box and paste it into another program. For more information about version history details, see Version History Details.
2. When you have finished viewing the history information, click OK.
