The Recreate Patch History dialog is displayed when you select the Recreate History command from the Patch menu in the JADE Installation Preferences dialog. This dialog enables you to recreate a history of changes made to a selected patch version or to all patch versions following the migration to a new JADE release or the removal of patch version history with change extraction.
Your patch version changes are not extracted with your schema. Your source changes and patch history summary are therefore lost when you migrate to a new JADE release version.
This Recreate History command enables you to recreate the patch history summary for subsequent display. Each schema entity has a timestamp, user, and patch version stored with it. Recreating a patch history simply recreates this information; for example, if a calculateInterest method has patch version 5.0.2.8 and you recreate the history for patch version 8, the calculateInterest method is displayed in the patch summary. An entity appears once only in a recreated patch history (that is, only the most recent change is recreated).
The current JADE system release is displayed at the top of the dialog.
To recreate a patch version history
In the Recreate History group box, select the All Versions For All Schemas option button if you want patch version histories recreated for all patch versions in all schemas in your JADE system.
By default, a patch version history is recreated only for the current patch version; that is, the Only for the following: option button is selected.
If you are recreating a patch history for a specific JADE release version and patch version (that is, the default option):
In the System Version text box, specify the full JADE system version in which your specified patch history is to be recreated if it is not in the current system version. The current JADE system version is displayed, by default.
In the Patch Number text box, specify the number of the patch version whose history you want to recreate. The current patch version is displayed, by default.
In the Schema combo box, select the schema whose patch history you want to recreate.
If your selected schema has subschemas and you want patch version histories recreated for all subschemas in that schema, check the Include Subschemas check box.
By default, a patch version history is recreated only for the selected schema; that is, this check box is unchecked or it is disabled if no subschemas are defined for the selected schema.
Click the OK button. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.
A history of patch version changes is then recreated for subsequent display. For details, see "Displaying a Patch History Summary".
The recreated history contains a summary of patch changes only (the information displayed in the status line of the JADE development environment); it does not recreate source changes, as these are no longer available.
