About Configurable History Pages

ENOVIA Business Process Services installs with a configurable History page called emxHistory.jsp. The History page lists the actions that have occurred for the current business object.

The following topics are discussed:

Configurable Options for History

By passing parameters to the JSP, the page can be configured as described in this section.


  • display events for the current revision only or for all revisions
  • label the revisions "revisions" or "versions", when configured to display events for all revisions
  • show only specific action types
  • show or hide the action type filter
  • show or hide the text filter

This figure shows the History page as it is installed out-of-the-box.



Preconfigured History Command Objects

ENOVIA Business Process Services installs with two commands that can be used by applications to call the History page. Both of these commands and the configuration of the History page that each command calls is described below.

Both commands are configured to display the Action Type and text filters and have no prefilter action types.



The AEFHistory command calls the History page with a parameter set so only the actions for the current revision of the business object are listed. The History page always includes the ability for users to filter the list by action type and by specific text strings in any column other than action type. This command is designed to display the History page in the content frame and therefore should be used as a tree category. This screen shows the current revision mode of the History page.



The AEFHistoryAllVersions command calls a History page with a parameter set so actions are listed for all versions of the object. When the History page includes all versions of the object, it also includes drop-down lists in the upper right corner that let users specify the versions they want to see. This command is designed to display the History page in a popup window and therefore should be used as a toolbar item. This screen shows the all revisions mode of the History page.
