Does deleting repository workspace actually delete files in an outgoing changeset?

Hello. 

I added some files into my repository workspace in RTC and it's checked-in and the changeset if under Outgoing changes under Pending changes.

I deleted my repository workspace and clicked Ok when it warned me that the outgoing changeset will be lost.

My question is, does this actually remove the files from the source component and it's not just hiding it (like an rmname would do in ClearCase)?

Thanks.

The wording may be a bit too severe but the change set isn't deleted. It will still exist in the repository but may be difficult to find. If you haven't associated a work item with the change set and it doesn't exist in another repository workspace or stream, you would have to find it by searching for change sets and specifying properties like the owner, creation date, files changed, etc.

It's not that the files are removed from the source component. It's the configuration of that component (ie. the change sets) that is lost because no backup baselines are created for the components before deleting the repository workspace.

if discarding a changeset under  Outgoing changes,  will the discarded changeset be delivered to Stream?

If you're discarding a changeset under outgoing changes (in other words, you're not delivering the changeset), the changeset will not be delivered to the stream.

You'll always have to deliver the change set to get it into the stream. A discard will never perform a deliver for you. The deliver should be done first and then the discard. You can't deliver a change set to a stream unless you have a location that has the change set (ie. workspace or stream).
