Set oObjSource = MySession.Component(DssRoleObjectSource)
Dim cjSearch As IDSSChangeJournalSearch
Set cjSearch = oObjSource.NewObject(DssTypeChangeJournalSearch)
cjSearch.TransactionTypes.Add (DssTransactionCollectGarbage)
cjSearch.Flags = DssChangeJournalSearchNotTransactionTypes
Dim list As IDSSChangeJournalList
Set list = oObjSource.SearchChangeJournal(cjSearch)
Dim entry As IDSSChangeJournalEntry
Dim objectList As IDSSChangeJournalObjectList
Dim objectEntry As IDSSChangeJournalObjectEntry
Dim num As Integer
num = 1
strOut (list.Count)
For Each entry In list
    Set objectList = entry.Objects
   
    For Each objectEntry In objectList
       
       
        strOut ("**********" & num & "************")
        strOut ("Object Name: " & objectEntry.ObjectReference.Name)
        strOut ("Object Type: " & objectEntry.ObjectReference.Type) 'EnumDSSObjectType
        strOut ("User Name: " & entry.UserName)
        strOut ("Transaction Timestamp: " & entry.TransactionTimestamp)
        strOut ("Transaction Type: " & entry.TransactionType) 'EnumDSSTransactionType

        strOut ("Object ID: " & objectEntry.ObjectReference.ID)
        strOut ("Machine Name: " & entry.Machine)
        strOut ("Change Type: " & objectEntry.ChangeType) 'EnumDSSChangeType
        strOut ("Transaction ID: " & entry.TransactionID)
        strOut ("Session ID: " & entry.SessionID)
 
        num = num + 1
