Hello All,

I have a scenario where i need to identify whether a given Changeset is discarded or not.

I have a Changeset Object as below.

IChangeSet changeSet = (IChangeSet) currentWIRepo.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(changeSetHandle,
                            IItemManager.DEFAULT, null);

Are there any APIs to find the state of the CS, whether it is discarded or any other state.

Request you to assist on this.

Thank you.

As far as I know, there isn't a public API for that, but you could use API com.ibm.team.scm.client.IWorkspaceManager#findWorkspacesContainingChangeset and test returning list if it is empty to determinate if that change-set is discarded.
Cheers.

Change sets on their own have no concept or property/state of being 'discarded'. You can ask the question as to whether or not a change set is 'in' (i.e. is in the change set history of a component) of a particular repository workspace or stream however.

If you need client-side API to determine this, look at:
IWorkspaceManager#findWorkspacesContainingChangeset

or if you know the workspaces or streams you care about, you might want to call:
IWorksapceManager#locateChangeSets
