Note:
This functionality is available only when using an Oracle
database.
Assets may be represented in the network by a single network object
or multiple objects. The Asset ID field of
a network object is used to specify the asset that an object(s) represents.
The differences between checked in network versions of a single asset
can be viewed from the property sheet of a network object:
- Open the property sheet for the object(s) representing
the asset.
- Click the
Asset
History button at the bottom of the property sheet. This displays
the Asset History dialog.
The Asset History dialog displays a report of the history of checked
in changes for an asset in order, from earliest to latest version of the
network.
Asset history report
The Asset History dialog displays
a report of the checked in differences of the asset (specified in the
Asset ID field) associated with the current
network object. The Asset History dialog does not display the history
of the object; if the current network object does not have an Asset
ID, a history cannot be displayed.
Points to consider when viewing the history of an asset:
- An asset is made up of all network objects of
the same type that have the same Asset ID.
Different object types with the same Asset ID value are considered to
be different assets.
- Information on all of the objects that make up
the asset will be displayed in the history.
- Only checked in changes are displayed. If viewing
a history from a checked out network, any changes made in the current
network will not be included.
- For objects that have the same Asset ID in the
current network and the parent network of the current network:
- a field by field comparison for the object
will be made and any differences will be reported.
- If the number of objects that have the same Asset
ID in the current network is different in the parent network:
- any objects that have been added to the asset
will be reported as created.
- any objects that have been removed from the
asset will be reported as deleted.
