It should be possible if an operation was executed with cascade option or not.

For example ManagementService#suspendJobDefinitionById(String jobDefinitionId, boolean suspendJobs) with suspendJobs=true does only write one op log entry for the job definition. It is not possible to tell whether jobs were suspended afterwards by using the op log.

In CAM-4163, we have implemented this such that two entries are written, one for the job definition and one for the jobs the operation cascades to. So the behavior should be consistent for all the cascading methods.
