SCM queries - no negation operator?


Steven Hovater (109126) | asked Jan 30 '19, 3:03 p.m.

 hi folks


Using the SCM queries in RTC API quite successfully, but I've run into a situation where I need to ask the repository for the file versions that don't have a given custom attribute. As I look through the operators available, I see "AND" and "OR" (which is great) but no "NOT".

ideas?

thanks,
Steve

 Hi Steven,


It is unclear to me, what SCM query API you might use. It might well be that a Not operation is too expensive as this is not on a binary, but on sets of objects where the Not set could be infinite or not well defined.

You might want to create an enhancement request. As a work around, you could find all the elements A and subtract all the elements that do qualify QA. You want to bring down the size of A fast.
