Reviewing TCP/IP changes made from your Workbench PC

From your PC with Workbench started, do the following:

In the Nav tree, expand “My Host” and then “My File System.”
Expand “User Home”, then expand “ipchanges.bog.”

Child folders are “date-named” using the following convention:

<yyyymmddhhmmss> for example, “d20150113153640” for 2015 Jan 13 3:36pm
Expand any folder of interest (right-click, select Views > > Property Sheet). Note the included decoded “modTime” value, for example, “13-Jan-2015 03:36 PM EST” (vs "d20150113153640").
Underneath each folder are two objects:
- priorValue — TCP/IP settings that existed before this change.
- newValue — TCP/IP settings that existed after this change.
In the property sheet, expand a priorValue or newValue to see settings.

NOTE: If you have a platform connection open (to any host), you can also review this same history of IP changes made from your Workbench to remote platforms. At the bottom of the TCP/IP Configuration view, click the “Audit” button. This shows this same ipChanges.bog folder and all child change entry folders in a property sheet view. Expand a change folder to see a decoded “modTime” value, for example, “13-Jan-2015 03:36 PM EST” (vs "d20150113153640"). Expand a “priorValue” or “newValue” in the view to see the settings.
