search for changesets delivered during a specific timeframe

Hi,

I've been trying to find out a way to look for changesets delivered
during a specific timeframe, e.g. the last 12 hours. I found that
creating snapshots is one way to do this but trying to find a less
invasive way (like without having to create and checkin stuff). I've
been looking around a bit but haven't found anything yet. Be able to
do this with a query would be nice but it seems like query is for
work items mostly.

The whole purpose of this is for debugging when someone delivered code
that caused a regression. Being able to list all the changesets since
the last successful execution would help pin point the culprit
quicker.

Thanks,
Andy

Have you tried opening the change set history of the stream to which the
change sets were delivered? That will show you an ordered sequence of
change-sets.

There's nothing quite suitable for you to search for change sets delivered to a stream in the past 12 hours. You can show history on a component but not for the entire stream. There are also stream events that would show change set deliveries but I think events disappear at some point (maybe when you've read them or accepted the changes).

I was looking around in RTC but didn't find anything like that.
Couldn't find it when "right-click on the stream -
show" neither. How do you view the change set history view of a
stream?

History is kept on a per-component basis, so you'd have to open up the
stream folder, and under it, you would see entries for each component in
the stream. Right click on any of those component entries, and you'll
get the change-set history of that component in that stream.

But if you don't have an idea about what component you want to look at,
and you have a large number of components in the stream, then this would
be cumbersome.

Actually looking back at event log again it seems promising. Once you filter it down to just showing source control changes.

Team Dashboard -> configure -> Filters -> Source Control Changes
