SCM API : How to compare 2 snapshots with changes in the components included in each Snapshot ?
Hello Team,
I have a usecase wherein I need to get the delta changesets that are part of 2 given snapshots. I am able to get only the changesets part of components existing in both the snapshots. If there is a newly added component, and part of one of these snapshots, then am not getting the changeset as delta.
E.g :
Stream : stream1 :
Components : comp1, comp2
Snapshot 1
Then I add comp3 to the stream1 and deliver some changes and create a new snapshot : Snapshot2.
Then when i see the diff changesets between Snapshot 1 and Snapshot 2, I dont get to see this details of the newly added component.
Below is the code:
IWorkspaceManager workspaceManager = SCMPlatform.getWorkspaceManager(teamRepository);
IChangeHistorySyncReport changeSync = workspaceManager.compareBaselineSets(snapshot,snapshotParent,null, null);
for (final Object currentEntry : changeSync.outgoingChangeSets()) {
IChangeSetHandle csHandle = (IChangeSetHandle) currentEntry;
foundCS.add(csHandle);
}
when checked in the compareBaselineSets() API documentation, it states : Compares two baseline sets. For components which are common, it will breakdown the change sets into incoming and outgoing.
Is there any other API, which gets the changesets of the newly added component, part of one snapshot and other as well ?
Request you to assist on this.
Thank you.

Nov 26 '17, 11:19 p.m.Hello Geoffrey,
I am interested in the all the CSs, part of two snapshots difference(delta- CSs created between Snapshot 1 and Snapshot 2).
we are developing a script, that gets the details of all the CSs in the Snapshots delta. and further processing to give some information to the users.
So with the code above, I am able to get only the CSs, if they are part of a component existing in both the Snapshot.
If there is a CS, part of newly added component(existing in only one component), then I am not getting that CS in the compareBaselineSets() API.
So is there any API, irrespective of whether the components existing in both the snapshots, gives the delta CS details ?
Request you to suggest on this.

That is what you would get if you asked for all of the change sets in a newly added component in a configuration.

Nov 27 '17, 6:39 a.m.Yes, that is our requirement Geoffrey. We need to get the details of all the changesets part of 2 snapshot diff.
As a part of delivery/Code release, user want to know which are the changesets going to be delivered as a release product, we do further processing to this CSs details and publish as output.
Getting the list of diff CSs, is only a small part of the logic, in the script.
Please suggest if there are any APIs to get all the diff (delta) CSs.

If you want to list every change set that went into a given configuration, then I'd suggest looking at "history" operations, and not "compare" operations.
