Two Development Lines, Only One Can be Current


Gary Mullen-Schultz (28725536) | asked Feb 24 '09, 11:23 a.m.
I created two different development lines within a single project. They are for different applications, each on their own schedule.

Right now I can only have one current iteration for the whole project. I need to have a current iteration for each development line.

Did I configure something incorrectly, or do I misunderstand the concept of a development line?

The scenario you're describing shouldn't be possible. Each development
line should be able to have a current iteration.

Please file a workitem against the Process component, including a
screenshot showing how you're being prevented from setting an iteration
as current.

It started working after about 15 minutes. On its own.

We saw other, similar cases where changes didn't become "known" for a certain period of time. For example, we added a release to a project, and even some 30 minutes later it was not visible from another RTC client (RAD 7.5.1 with RTC plugin). When I tried to add it from that other box, I got an SQL insert error (as, in fact, it was already there). Refresh hadn't helped.

Same thing with an iteration we created. Another user couldn't see it (in the "Planned for" section of a new work item). After a fairly long period of time it showed up.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Gary

If you remember the steps you took to reproduce these problems, I would
suggest opening a bug against the "Work Item" category. They're
responsible for both Releases and the Planned For attribute.

As Jared says, this should definitely be possible. We do this ourselves in RTC. Up until recently we were iterating concurrently (and separately) with one development line for 2.0 and another for 1.0.1.1.
