Programmatically, using the RTC API, how can it be determined whether a change set has been delivered to a stream?

I'm looping through change sets using WorkspaceManager's findChangeSets method. However, it returns change sets that have been checked in as well as checked in and delivered.

For background, I'm trying to determine what delivered change sets are missing work items. I can find the work items by using the WorkspaceManager getChangeSetLinkSummary method. I'm guessing the change set itself doesn't "know" whether it's been delivered but that the stream does.

This question sounds equivalent to the Locate Change Sets feature added in RTC 4.0.
All you would need to do for this is call <code>IWorkspaceManager.locateChangeSets(...)</code> (if you are on the client) or <code>IScmQueryService.findLocateChangeSets(...)</code> (if you are on the server)

Hi Ed:

For background, I'm trying to determine what delivered change sets are missing work items.

Given a stream S1 and a component C in that stream, you can browse through the change sets forming the history of that component C in S1.

See IChangeHistory IFlowNodeConnection.changeHistory(IComponentHandle)
Then IChangeHistory recent() previousHistory() getHistoryDescriptors() to navigate through the history and get the change sets.
Finally you can fetch the change set handles and inspect if the IChangetSet(s) have work items linked.
This is similar to how the History View is populated.

Maybe your situation is a little different than I assume from your original description. If you only care about change sets from a workspace W that may have been delivered to a stream S, then you can do things differently. You can compare the workspaces W and S and see if S has those change sets or not (similar to what the Pending Changes view does).

Use:
IChangeHistorySyncReport IFlowNodeConnection.compareTo with the flag WorkspaceComparisonFlags#CHANGE_SET_COMPARISON_ONLY since you don't care about baselines here. Then examine the report incomingChangeSets (or outgoing ChangeSets depending on the order of your comparison). If they contain the change set handles then they are not in the stream yet.

Let us know if you need more details.
In the future if we miss your question on the newsgroup you can force our attention by opening a work item against Source Control...

HTH,
Chrix

 Am I wrong or CHANGE_SET_COMPARISON_ONLY will miss all the Change Sets that actually are in a "not delivered baseline" but are really not present in the target?
