In starteam, how can I find out when a file was deleted, and by whom?

The Audit tab (just to the right of File, ChangeRequest, etc. ) is probably your best bet if you're just looking for who deleted what and when. The Audit tab also provides information about when items and folders were created, shared, or moved, as well as when View labels are attached/detached. Whenever someone has files unexpectedly appear or disappear, I direct them to the Audit tab first There is a server-side configuration setting for the length of time the audit data is retained (30 days by default, I believe).

Since it is not retained forever, it isn't a good option for historical data. The number of audits can be quite large in active views If you're looking for something more than that or older than your audit retention time, go with Bubbafat's suggestion of the SDK and getDeletedTime/getDeletedUserID.

Comparing views (or rolling back a view to see the item again) is the only way I know how to do this in StarTeam without writing code. If you are willing to write a little code the StarTeam API provides the Item. GetDeletedTime and Item.

GetDeletedUserId methods (I believe these showed up in 2006).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
