Is there any way to find datastage change history?

Question

If someone change something like parameter, routine name...etc in designer

Is there any way to find those history?

and also Is datastage support debugging mode? (Because, I want to find which job occurs error)

I can only see change history information about Monitoring Agent https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/change-history-monitoring-agent-datastage

Are you referring to the product in general or to one of your jobs? — MichaelTiefenbacher, Mar 28 '23 at 09:30
one of my jobs. For example, If I change condition in nested condition activity, Is there anyway that I can find those change history? — gnc, Mar 28 '23 at 09:32

I highly recommend adding an Annotation to each job to document recent changes incl. date, person who did the change and a rough description if the change. This is easy and a proofen concept. Also before changing a job - manual copy / historization of the job is an additional option.

You could also check the integration of a Source Code Control system

If you have none of the above there is no out of the box solution to figure out these changes.

If an older version copy of the job exists, you can compare jobs either directly in the designer or via command line %ds_client_classic%\diffapicmdline.exe – Justus Kenklies Apr 11 '23 at 08:04
