JAVA API to identify the backlog iteration?
Hi,
I am using one of the process template while creating a project area, which creates the project area time line structure as below -
Main development[Timeline]
- Release1.0[Iteration]
- Backlog [Iteration].
So What is that configuration makes this "Backlog" different than the normal iteration? Is there any process configuration setting to identify whether the "Backlog" is really a backlog iteration? How can I make sure through java code that the "Backlog" is the really a backlog iteration? Is there any JAVA API available for this purpose?
regards,
Praveen S H

there is an IIterationType, I assume (but can't find) the list of types includes Backlog.
it is set here in the process config, which uses some api to do it..

Thank you for your reply sam detweiler .
But IIterationType was not at all helpful for me to identify whether the iteration "Backlog" is the backlog iteration. I tried to get the IIterationType by iteration.getIterationType() api and it is "null". Tried other IIteration interface api's to check whether I will get any information about this flag(to identify it as a backlog iteration), but no result.
Could you please suggest any more information about the solution that I am behind??
The backlog iteration is declared in the process configuration of the project area.
In particular, the XML element <backlogIteration> defines the backlog iteration.
I don't know if there is a better way to get this information other than parsing the process configuration.
(As you discovered, the iteration type is unrelated to whether or not an iteration is the backlog iteration).
