The History functionality provides a way of logging all the interesting transactions in the database. It can be set to detect changes such as inserts, updates or deletes on the table level and then log the chosen attributes.
History Log is used for viewing the logs. The window is found in Solution Manager/ Monitoring / History

The log contains the following information:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Log Id | A unique id identifying a log |
| Component | Component the logged information belongs to |
| LU name | Logical unit the log belongs to |
| Table name | Name of the logged table |

Each log contains a number of attributes for storing the logged values. The attributes are constructed as follows:

| Column name | Name of the database column logged |
| Old value | The value of the column before an update or delete (empty at insert) |
| New value | The column’s new value after an insert or update (empty at delete) |
