What would be the purpose/use case for such a validator? See How should I ask a question in the Forum if I want to receive useful answers?

thanks for the notes Ralph , I did not want to make question too lengthy for it to be ignored for complexity.


anyways, here is the situation:
we are using process sharing between RTC project areas, such that we have 1 provider project area and multiple consumer project areas.

for the purpose of standardizing sprint names & ease of central reporting, we want all teams to follow same naming convention for sprints in their respective project areas.

Please let me know in case of anything else.

Well... implementing a validation is technically possible by developing a server-side script, but that requires development effort + testing + deployment, etc.

The point here is... is it worth it?

Bear in mind that only a subset of your user-base should have permission to modify Team Areas and Iterations, so maybe it would be easier to educate them in the naming convention you want to use.

As discussed, I really would consider other options before going this route. Nevertheless,

The operation he should be looking at is:

<project-operation id="com.ibm.team.process.server.saveProjectArea">

Here's some code to start with:

public class IterationSaveOperationParticipant extends AbstractService implements IOperationParticipant {

@Override
public void run(AdvisableOperation operation,
  IProcessConfigurationElement participantConfig,
  IParticipantInfoCollector collector, IProgressMonitor monitor)
  throws TeamRepositoryException {
 
 if (operation instanceof ProjectAreaSaveOperation)
 {
  ProjectAreaSaveOperation operationData = (ProjectAreaSaveOperation) operation;

  List<IProcessItem> savedItems = Arrays.asList(operationData.getSavedItems());
   for (IProcessItem savedItem : savedItems)
  {
   if (savedItem.getProcessItemType() == IProcessItem.ITERATION)
   {
    IRepositoryItemService itemService = getService(IRepositoryItemService.class);

    IIteration newIteration = (IIteration) savedItem;

   ...validate here newIteration.getName()...

I am getting tired to try to dig up the basic information necessary to understand the question and tend to not try to answer any more. It you want answers See How should I ask a question in the Forum if I want to receive useful answers? Most contributors here don't have the time to pry the info out of the asking user.

In general, it is possible to write process advisors. But you need an operation that you can use. I am not sure there is such an operation. These are the ones available: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/CustomPreconditionsTable#operations
