Get URL for SCM folder that does not contain the Project Area name
Hello everyone,
I tried to search for some kind of “shortened” link that contains only ids, but I did not succeed.
For workitems this is possible:-link with PA name: https://server:port/ccm/web/projects/Project_Area_Name#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=workitemId
Kind regards,
Ana R.

Several issues here.
- As far as I know, SCM folders are not under version control, only the changes to files are.
- The Web Browser is not a full blown SCM client and you end up having UI URIs and not SCM URI's.
- In the Eclipse UI I was able to open the properties of a folder under version control. Right click in the package explorer select Properties and then select Jazz Source Control, where you find URIs that are not UI URI's.

On (1), SCM folders are under version control. They need to be created/moved/renamed/deleted in change sets, which need to be delivered, like changes to files.
I think I had attended a meeting last week where it was pointed out that the files are traced, not the folders.
You need to distinguish the root folder in a sandbox where a component is loaded from the folders inside a component. The root folder where a component is loaded is not under version control. All of the folders inside of a component are under version control. So it is true that not all of the folders in a sandbox are under version control, but all folders in a component are under version control. And in particular, if you have empty folders inside a component, and you load that component, all of those empty folders will be loaded in your sandbox (no need for fake files to get them loaded).
