Any idea why status is returning blank? I'm finding it only works if the load command has -i option??


C:\RTCShell\wksp1>scm list credentials
https://amrrtcserver:9444/jazz/, rational, RTC, <No certificate>, <No smartcard>, <Password stored>

C:\RTCShell\wksp1>lscm load -r RTC --all Shell
Successfully loaded items into the sandbox.

C:\RTCShell\wksp1>lscm status

C:\RTCShell\wksp1>

C:\RTCShell\wksp1>lscm load -r RTC -i --all Shell
Successfully loaded items into the sandbox.

C:\RTCShell\wksp1>lscm status
Workspace: (1200) "Shell" <-> (1200) "Shell"
  Component: (1215) "TC"
    Baseline: (1216) 1 "Initial Baseline"

C:\RTCShell\wksp1>

Does your repository workspace "Shell" contain any files/folders? I'm guessing that it doesn't. 

If the component in Shell is empty, doing a load doesn't write anything to disk. The `-i/--include-root` argument causes a directory corresponding to the component root to be created on disk, so the sandbox is considered to have content, meaning that the workspace/component shows up in the output of the `status` command.

Yes, the Component is empty. So, I'll just accept this as a quirk of this command.
