'ambiguous selector' error from scm
I have run into this a couple of times now. Most recently it happened when we happened to end up with two streams with the same name but that are in different projects.
Here is example output from scm : <pre> C:\rtc_wrk_spc11>scm create snapshot -P dsmall -r https://my-jazz-server:9443/jazz cross-project-collision-test Ambiguous selector "cross-project-collision-test" matched multiple items: Possible matches: (1027) "cross-project-collision-test" (1028) "cross-project-collision-test" Problem running 'create snapshot': Ambiguous workspace selector "cross-project-collision-test" </pre> I have been looking to see if there is some 'extended' scm command syntax that can be used to work around this situation however have not found anything yet. So is there some syntx to get around this or do we just have to make sure everything is always uniquely named? ( Even across projects... ) |

C:\rtc_wrk_spc11>scm create snapshot -P dsmall -r Replace "cross-project-collision-test" with the desired alias (either 1027 or 1028). If you always want to to see the alias when using the list subcommand, specify -v (verbose). Additionally you could also use the -u, --show-uuid option to show the universal unique identifier. Here's an example using both: $ ./scm -u y list streams -r rtcdev --projectarea "RTC Team" -v (1029:_lcDSoKooEd-97PgsBr_fiw) "Extensions Development" (1013:_mxju4C6-Ed6UeoTLKR3ITg) "V5R4-Maint" (1014:_spyiQPhzEd2mI-3mKQlIFg) "RTC Team Stream" (1015:_aGJZcEEYEd6DYdYD2qeWPA) "RTC Team Architecture Material" (1016:_NhvhwDZkEd6DYdYD2qeWPA) "Process Change" The -v will show the alias and specifying the -u will show the uuid for the streams. You can the use either the alias or uuid in place of the name. Here's an example of listing snapshots using the alias: $ ./scm -a y list snapshots -r rtcdev 1014 (1019) "Web Portal 2.1" Jun 29, 2010 1:28 PM (1020) "V5R4-GM" Apr 10, 2009 12:38 PM If you use "-a,--show-alias y" or "-u,--show-uuid y" and specify -v (verbose) when doing other actions such as creating snapshots, you will see the alias and/or uuid on the completion messages.

Thanks for the reply.
What version are you using? I am using 2.0.0.2 and am not getting the same results as you. Differences seem to be o --show-showuid not supported o when using -v with list command ids consist just of 4 digit o number ( as opposed to a number followed by a colon and then some characters. ) o When trying to use the id I get the very user unfriendly error below C:\temp\garbage>scm create snapshot -P dsmall -r https://myrepos:9443/jazz 1027 -n TestSnapShot

I am using 2.0.0.2 and am not getting the same results as you. Differences seem to be 2.0.0.2 supports that option. Run 'scm help' and look at the option list: -u [--show-uuid] arg - Specify when UUIDs are to be shown: "y"/"yes", or "n"/"no" You appear to have a typo in your argument.
That's an alias. The docs contain a section explaining the two under "About UUIDs and aliases".
That's a bug. Try adding a component to your workspace/stream and rerunning. e |
