protected HistoryRepository historyRepository;

String uniqueKey = historyRepository.insertHistory(history);

private void createHistory() {

HistoryCreate history = new HistoryCreate();

//archivedOn is a required field

history.setArchivedOn(date);

//shortDescription is a required field

history.setShortDescription("Subject - Update contact phone number");

//text is an additional field that stores more information than the

shortDescription; text allows up to 20000 characters

history.setText("Additional information about the contact record update");

Category cat = new Category();

//the next two lines identify a category and then add the category to the history record

cat.setUniqueKey("HIST_STAT");

history.getCategories().add(cat);

//use the parentObject property to associate the history with an existing record by unique key, for example, to describe a contact record that you have recently modified

history.setParentObject("CONT_1234");

return history;
