IRID and IVID are the new identifiers for 6i elements. If you are working in the context of a workarea (this should be the usual case), you can use IRID (each CI view still has an ID column = IRID). If you are in a versioned repository, IVID is the id of the versioned object. This should only be an issue if you are not working in the context of a workarea.

You might want to review some of the config mgmt documentation, which discusses IRID and IVID. Also, look on the ODTUG web site ( http://www.odtug.com), for some of the papers from last year's conference, and soon(?) the papers from this year's conference.
