Creating a New Plan Type


Mathew Spurgeon (3195) | asked Aug 05 '09, 1:47 p.m.
The real goal is to rename the Plan Types to more custom friendly names. Is there a method to rename an existing Plan Type.

If renaming is not an option, creating a new type would be great. Is there a white paper or something on how to create new plan types.

This is currently not directly possible using the configuration UI.

As a work around, you can do the following:
1) select the plan type you wish to rename in the "Plan Types" configuration editor
2) add a plan mode to it
observe: the plan type's name in the list is now decorated with ""
3) go to the Project Configuration Source tab, search for your plan type's name (its in the configuration-data section with the id "com.ibm.team.apt.configuration.plantypes")
4) change the "name" of the respective plantype element
5) save the process configuration

Hi

I changed the name just editing the name attribute in the plan-id tag of Process configuration source.
(available in the Process Configuration Source tab).

So I did not add any plan modes.
It seems to work.
