How to find changeset UUID from command line?

Have you tried the "--show-uuid y" flag?

See the "source control command line reference" help page.

How does one find the UUID of a changeset from the command line?

Consider a case where I want to selectively accept changesets for a
build instead of taking them all. I can use scm
status to show the changesets& baselines that I
can possibly accept...but there are no UUIDs given for the listed
changesets.

I can't rely on the alias because, as I understand it, these aliases
are unique to the client environment where the commands are being run
& I might need to run status in one environment and accept in a
different environment.

I've tried using the -I flag but that didn't seem to do anything.

Its possible to get more information from many of the scm commmand lines by using --json (or -j)

For example, normal command, gives the alias:

>lscm list changesets -r jazz224     
 Change sets:
       (1139) ---$ who dun it "add comment for fun" 08-Apr-2013 02:47 PM
...etc

-json command gives UUIDs and URLs and other information..

>lscm list changesets -r jazz224 --json

lscm list changesets -r jazz224 --json
{
    "changes": [
        {
            "author": "who dun it ",
            "comment": "add comment for fun",
            "modified": "08-Apr-2013 02:47 PM",
            "state": {
                "active": false,
                "complete": true,
                "conflict": false,
                "current": false,
                "potential_conflict": false
            },
            "url": "https:\/\/jazz224.bla.bla.bla:9443\/ccm\/",
            "uuid": "_m1_0sKBJEeKp18Qpy_B3Ug"
        },


The uuid show for each "thing" is its uuid, it would then be possible to parse the output and extract the UUID you want for another command, like a deliver etc.

This acticle has more specifics about the json output: https://jazz.net/library/article/1031/
