I can add a component to a workspace using
IScmService#addComponent().
I can also use addComponentFromWorkspace() in order to specify a
source workspace to load the component from.
However, in either case, the projects in the component are not loaded
into the newly added component. I can't seem to find a way to load
existing projects in a component when we add the component in a new
workspace.

Will appreciate any help on this.

Thanks!

Thanks Geoff for your reply and sorry for using improper terminology.
Let me clarify.

I indeed wish to have a specific configuration of a component loaded
into a repository workspace by using server side Java APIs. I use
IScmService#addComponentFromWorkspace for this purpose. Next, I
invoke IScmService#activeChangeSets to query for all change sets and
accept them, so that I can get the latest files for the component in
my repository workspace. However, on running this code I can't seem
to find the configuration set in the workspace. Also, I dont get any
change sets although I am sure there exist incoming changes.

I had a chat with Heather (from Jazz SCM team) and she suggested use
of IWorkspaceConnection in scm.client package. However, I shall
prefer not to write a client since I am writing a server side utility
and cannot get a handle to a TeamRepository.

Please confirm whether what I am doing is correct or suggest
alternatives

Thanks for your help

There are "repository workspaces" (objects in the RTC

"Eclipse workspaces" (which know about places on local
disk where files
are loaded ... commonly we call those places on disk where files are

loaded a "sandbox").

Normally, we use the term "load" to describe the operation
that copies
files from the repository workspace into the sandbox (i.e. onto
local disk).

I'm guessing you aren't using "load" in that way, but
rather are talking
about how to specify the configuration of your repository workspace.
To
have specific configuration of a component in your repository
workspace,
you would want to select a specific baseline of that component to
add to
the workspace. If that is what you want, then we can get one of the
RTC
SCM API developers/users help you with what routines to call.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Debdoot,

I'm not familiar with the RTC SCM server-side API, so we'll need the
Jazz SCM engineers to chime in on the details there.

But logically, the first thing you have to ask yourself is what is the
source for the component configuration that you want? There can be an
arbitrary number of streams and workspaces and baselines that have
different configurations of that component. Once you know where you
want to get your configuration from, the RTC SCM team should be able to
point you at what part of the API to use.

Cheers,
Geoff
