Need to extend advanced search to support search in specific snapshot of the stream

System: Automated Tests Extraction
Actor: SCM Automation needing new feature

Automated Tests Extraction is a commonly used product that provides information for the availability of test files and test results within specific Snapshot of the stream. This helps for process automation and smooth deployment of IBM CLM Tools.

Description: Currently we are doing recursive browsing to find which component within dedicated snapshot of the stream contains test file and test results file. This very slow and business requirements can not be met.

Advanced search seem to be the right solution, but currently there are limitation of it configuration to search within the stream but not over specific snapshot of the stream.

We need to extend the following rest api services to support SnapshotId in same manner as it support StreamID:
"@ServerURL/service/com.ibm.team.scm.common.internal.rest.IScmRestService2/searchFiles?componentIds=@ComponentId&workspaceId=@StreamId&fileNamePattern=@filePattern&isCaseSensitive=false&maxResultSize=2048"/>

Idea priority High

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it does not fit our near-term plans. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    The API referenced above (ISCMREstService2) is an internal API for the web ui and does not support backwards comparability, or supports for n-1 clients - and by nature of it being internal, it can change at any time. We could add the capability to find files by file name in a snapshot or baseline to the web UI and enhance the above REST call - but again this is not stable backward compatible API for customers.

    We have added this to the product backlog with an intention (but not commitment) to deliver a solution in the next 24 months. It will be reviewed against other product roadmap priorities in the next release planning cycle. To assist us, we would need to know where the customer would be calling this from (javascript?) to ensure that the solution we implement will meet client needs.

    assigning the RFE to source control for proper triage by the SCM development team.
