History objects
In HCL Compass a record (that is, an Entity object) has history information associated with it. Each record type (EntityDef) may have a history field, and this field can have multiple history entries. Each history entry is a line of text describing the modification. All history objects are read-only, because the history entries for a data record are created automatically by HCL Compass
