Reviewing a PC’s TCP/IP changes

You configure a PC’s TCP/IP settings using Windows. Workbench records TCP/IP before and after the change values in an ipchanges.bog file. If necessary, you can review these changes.

You are working in Workbench with a connection to your PC.
  1. In the Nav tree, expand My Host > My File System > User Home > ipchanges.bog.

    Child folders are date-named using the following convention:

    <yyyymmddhhmmss>, where the variable name contains year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds; for example, d20250113153640 for 2025 Jan 13 3:36pm and 40 seconds.

  2. To expand a folder, right-click and select Views > Property Sheet.
    The AX Property Sheet for the folder opens.

    The included decoded modTime value is easier to read. For example, 13-Jan-2024 03:36 PM EST instead of d20150113153640).

    Under each folder are two properties:

    • priorValue reports the TCP/IP settings that existed before the change.

    • newValue reports the TCP/IP settings that existed after the change.

  3. Expand a priorValue or newValue to see the reported settings.
