Intersted in the contents inside the component rather than the history when I compare sometimes
Dear Technical support,
I would like to avail the facility in Jazz source control for comparing the contents of files rather than the histories (change sets) between two baselines.
A situation is there where we have two baselines : baseline 20 has the set of folders and files same as baseline 40, except that baseline 40 has some more extra folders. In this case, I would like to get the comparison done between the two baselines and report must be available stating the baseline 20 and 40 matches, but with baseline 40 having extra folders.
Please let me know the way to set the preferences for the above mentioned requirement asap.

I've raised a change request to avail such a kind of facility - #284363
Did you try the SCM CLI tool with the "-I f" option and it didn't work?
No I didn't give a try. I thought of raising the request for easily managing the preferences setting through the window preferences mechanism..
Also, I'm not so very convenient in the SCM CLI tool...I need some guidance. can you help me do this?
Is it the command line interface? Would I be able to use that with the Eclipse client?
lscm compare -c "infrastructure.core.mpc56xx" -I f baseline "61: rel_INFRASTRUCTURE_CORE_E2.5_1.0" baseline "56: rel-E2.5-INFRASTRUCTURE-CORE-1.0"
is the above statement correct to compare two baselines in the component - infrastructure.core.mpc56xx? If no, please guide me.
That looks correct except the argument list may need "-r <URI-to-repository>". See login command description for how to create a short alias or nickname for that.
