lscm "show attributes" subcommand shows "ambigious workspace" but "list stream" subcommand only shows one

converted to question May 22, 5:52 a.m.

When I run this command:

lscm list stream -r https://jazz.mywebsite.net/ccm -n $streamName

It only shows one result,

(3645) "My Stream" (3771) "Owner1"

but when I run this command with the same stream name:

lscm --show-alias n --show-uuid y show attributes -r https://jazz.mywebsite.net/ccm -w $streamName

It gives me the following error:

Possible matches:

(_5qnSgP_tEeayxKgb_4K78Q) "My Stream" Owner1

(_50t7wMhSEeyDtaOYN0bZwQ) "My Stream" Owner2

My Stream

Error code: 9

Error message: Ambiguous workspace "My Stream"

Problem running 'show attributes':

The properties of one or more workspaces were not retrieved.

Expected behavior:

'show attributes' subcommand should return one result as well.

This is my version:

Build Id: EWM-CLIENT-I20220731-0234

Version: 7.0.2

Thanks.

Sorry about it, should I create a new question about it? How to link new question with this topic? I tried using the 4 digits, it shows this error:

3771

Error code: 25

Error message: Unmatched workspace "3771"

Problem running 'show attributes':

The properties of one or more workspaces were not retrieved.

This is my command:

lscm --show-alias n --show-uuid y show attributes -r https://jazz.mywebsite.net/ccm -w 3771

Thanks.

Convert your answer to a question and modify it to make it clearer. I am not going to discuss here.

Workspace/Stream names are not unique. Each element has however a unique UUID and in the SCM command line there is an artificial alias (4 digit) that is unique. It is better to use the alias in subsequent calls and not the stream name.

This was already answered here: https://jazz.net/forum/questions/98278/scm-share-command-shows-ambigious-workspacestream-but-ui-only-shows-one/98608 where you answered initially with your question.

Please also be aware that your visibility might be limited. You might not be able to see every item with the same name. The error message provides you with the different UUIDs of the two workspaces.

I would suggest you get the alias for the item you want to investigate and then use that alias instead of the name.

Note that the SCM command line was redesigned some years back and old examples might not be accurate.

See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/elms/elm/7.0.2?topic=reference-source-control-command-line for the current reality.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried it again, I realized the "3771" alias in my previous comment was wrong, it is the alias for the owner, but not the stream.

Once I use the correct alias for the stream, I can get expected result via this command:

lscm --show-alias n --show-uuid y show attributes -r https://jazz.mywebsite.net/ccm -w 3645

Thanks.

It's all about the answers!
