Importing the Change History List

You can import a Change History into a workspace. Once imported, the changes are applied to the active table in the Prepare Window

  1. In the Prepare window, select the table you want to apply the Change History to.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Select Import Change List from the application menu.

    • Select Import Change List  from the menu bar at the top of the Change History panel.

  3. In the Open dialog that displays, navigate to the location of your change history file and then select it. The file must have a .dpcl extension.

  4. Select Open.

 

Important Notes:

  • Changes are applied to the new table in sequence as they appear in the Change History list.

  • This operation assumes that the current table has columns with the same name and data type as the table from which the Change History was exported. For instance, if a date column named Ship Date was converted to date from text, the import Change History operation will look for a date column named Ship Date in the current table and then convert this to text. If such a column cannot be found, an error message will be displayed.   

  • When adding either a named filter or named sort, if the table in question has an error in its Change History, a warning displays. In this case, the errors must be fixed prior to the addition of the filter or sort.
