I think I know what lscm changeset locate is supposed to do -- i.e., locate changesets, but I'll be darned if a simple case doesn't work. I am trying to use the -W option to search for changesets by workitem in the "stream to search" stream. This is what I get:

c:\localpath\pep>lscm changeset locate -r local -W -w "stream to search" 5975
Argument syntax error:
Missing arguments to subcommand "changeset locate" - selectors. Try 'lscm help changeset locate' for more information.

5975 is my selector but it won't recognize it. Am I doing something wrong?

It is getting confused with the value provided to the options although the error message could have been better. Could you try the following: scm changeset locate -r local -W 5975 -w "stream to search" or scm changeset locate -r local -w "stream to search" -W 5975

Great, thanks! The first one worked (not the second):

scm changeset locate -v -r local -W 5975 -w "stream name"

This has probably changed in newer versions but I'd point out that the option instructions are wrong since it shows that -W is a flag option and that the selectors are arguments to the command not to the option.

But I'm happy: it's working! Thanks, Shashikant!

It's all about the answers!
