Specify Iteration Type in Process Template


Monvorath Phongpaibul (111) | asked Apr 23 '08, 1:48 a.m.
I am using M6 and trying to define Iteration Type for process template (not customize process in project area). Is there any way to do. Please advise.

Thanks.

Yes, you can define iteration types for templates in the "Process
Iterations" XML. For example, the Eclipse Way template defines them like so:

<process>
<iteration>
<iteration>
<iteration>
<iteration>
<iteration>
</iteration>
<development>
<iteration>
<iteration>
<iteration>
</iteration>
<iteration>
</iteration>
</iteration>
</iteration>
</development>
</process>

I know this is old, but the answer appears unclear.

we want to specify a common set of Iteration types, in advance, as all projects are decended from our shared project process template.

I don't find any xml in the process config source after creating a couple new iteration type entries.
and of course, I'd like these to be replicated into the rtc data warehouse.  its really hard to tell a release iteration from a sprint iteration.. specially when you have 3 or 4 concurrent timelines running in the same project.

Hi,
If you haven't successfully created the process template, here are some steps:
1. Open the Timelines Source tab of the process template editor
2. In the XML, before the <timeline> element, add the iteration type definitions you want. Following is a example snippet:

    <iteration-type-definitions>
        <iteration-type-definition description="" type-id="new-iteration-type" type-name="Iteration Type 1"/>
        <!--More iteration type definition...>
    </iteration-type-definitions>

If you haven't successfully created the process template ,should say
If you haven't successfully created iteration types in the process template

hm.. I don't see a timeline entry in the process template XML. I have defined my own iterations and iteration types.. but I don't see them either.


here are my types



I am looking at rtc 4.0.1
we have a process template, that we use to share across all our child projects.
