The Eclipse client compare snapshot can show the file add/modify/delete.
But when I use command, it only show the diff file, but I do not know which is add/modify/delete.
I use the following cmd:
lscm compare -I f -f b snaphost 1082 snapshot 1086 -r rtc

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Hi,

the Eclipse snapshot compare has quite a lot of code around it that shows the extra you are missing on the plain command line. The actual underlying compare as realized in
>lscm compare snapshot A snapshot B
will indeed only show the change sets.

You then would need to script a little to loop over the resulting change sets and have each change set display its changes with e.g.
>lscm list changes <ChangeSet ID>

Each file in the resulting list is prepended by a letter corresponding to its change bit:
with
a = added
d = deleted
c = modified
r = renamed
m = moved

You probably want to write a subroutine to parse the output of >lscm list changes to just display the info you are looking for.

I realize this is probably not the answer you wanted to hear, but is it useful nonetheless?

There is already a workitem (180926) raised on this issue. The above mentioned workaround should work.
