Track Configuration Changes
The Track Changes tab in the Business Administrative Change utility enables you to track configuration changes made to business administrative objects. You can track objects that are newly created, updated, or deleted from the system.
 |
Only those changes that are supported by the Business Administrative Change utility can be tracked. For more information, see Objects Supported for Business Administrative Change Promotion.
|
The Track Changes tab is hidden by default. To display the tab, you need to enable the com.ptc.windchill.bac.history.tracking property in the wt_home/codebase/wt.properties file.
 |
Do not modify the OOTB configuration file directly. Instead, create a custom XCONF file and declare the file in the declarations.xconf or site.xconf file. Alternatively, you can manage the XCONF file in wtSafeArea or use the xconfmanager -s command to set the property in site.xconf.

To track configuration changes, perform the following steps:
1. In the Track Changes tab, specify the date range and the context of the objects that you want to search for.
The date range should be set to the last one-month period.
2. Click Search.
The Select Changes table lists the objects for which configuration changes have occurred. The Action column indicates whether an object was created, updated, or deleted. The Source column shows LOCAL if the changes were made using a loader, or BAC Package if the changes were made through an imported package.
