now I am trying to find the equivalence ID but as XML something like this : EAID_B4EC550F_B729_402f_819C_4E2124EF2A79 ,,
It can not be found . so anyone has any idea about that  :-[,

GUIDs in EA exist in two forms.
There is an operation in the API on the Project Interface to translate between the internal variant and the xml variant.
XMLtoGUID() and GUIDtoXML()

What status do you mean? The element status property or the fact that it has been changed compared to the baseline?

Well, if it HAS changed compared to the baseline and EA does not report it, you should report it as a bug. However, I have posted quite some time that baseline comparison in general is nonsense and for EA in particular it has a couple of flaws.
