Not sure if this will be of any use to you anymore, but here is a sample code of how you can do it:

Create Development lines:

    IProcessItemService service= (IProcessItemService) repo.getClientLibrary(IProcessItemService.class);
    projectArea = (IProjectArea) service.getMutableCopy(projectArea);  

    IDevelopmentLine developmentLine = (IDevelopmentLine) IDevelopmentLine.ITEM_TYPE.createItem();
    developmentLine.setId("156");
    developmentLine.setName("New Development Line");
    developmentLine.setProjectArea(projectArea);

    projectArea.addDevelopmentLine(developmentLine);

    service.save(new IProcessItem[] { projectArea, developmentLine }, monitor);

Create Iterations:

    IProcessItemService service= (IProcessItemService) repo.getClientLibrary(IProcessItemService.class);

    IIteration newIteration = (IIteration) IIteration.ITEM_TYPE.createItem();
    newIteration.setName("Ssdfecowsdfnd Iteration");
    newIteration.setId("193");

    IDevelopmentLine workingDevLine = (IDevelopmentLine) devLine.getWorkingCopy();
    workingDevLine.addIteration((IIterationHandle) newIteration.getItemHandle());

    newIteration.setDevelopmentLine(workingDevLine);

    service.save(new IProcessItem[] { workingDevLine, newIteration }, monitor);

Moderator note: I made a change to the code to eliminate an unnecessary line and reformatted the text to make it readable.

Here is the method to create child iteration for an iteration: 

IProcessItemService service = (IProcessItemService) repo.getClientLibrary(IProcessItemService.class);
IDevelopmentLine workingDevLine = (IDevelopmentLine) createIterationDevLine.getWorkingCopy();
IIteration iterationCopy = (IIteration) newIteration.getWorkingCopy();
IIteration newSubIteration = (IIteration) IIteration.ITEM_TYPE.createItem();
newSubIteration.setName("Sub Iteration - 5");
newSubIteration.setId("185");
iterationCopy.addChild(newSubIteration);
newSubIteration.setParent(iterationCopy);
newSubIteration.setDevelopmentLine(workingDevLine);
service.save(new IProcessItem[] { newSubIteration, iterationCopy, workingDevLine }, monitor);
return newSubIteration;

You should be able to do that through our Java client library. Once you have a com.ibm.team.process.common.IProjectArea you can use methods getDevelopmentLines(), addDevelopmentLine() and  setDevelopmentLines() to manage the timelines. Iterations are children of timelines and there are methods in com.ibm.team.process.common.IDevelopmentLine to manage the iterations.

edit: Please note that our Java client library is available as-is and will change over time. It is not a supported API.

I was able to get the Timeline using GetDevelopmentLines Method, but I'm still having an issue creating the iteration.

for (IIterationHandle iteration : line.getIterations()) { IIteration iter = (IIteration) repo.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(iteration, 0, monitor); System.out.println("Iteration: " + iter.getName()); if (iter.getName().trim().equals(str)) { System.out.println("Iteration " + str + " already exists ............." ); }else { projectArea.set iter.getWorkingCopy();

                    projectArea.set
                    line.addIteration((IIterationHandle) iter.getItemHandle());
                    break;

                }
            }

String str =  "myiteration"

 for (Iterator e = developmentLines.iterator(); e.hasNext();)
            {
                IDevelopmentLine line = (IDevelopmentLine) e.next();
                IIterationHandle[] iterationHandle =  line.getIterations() ;
                                
                for (IIterationHandle iteration : line.getIterations()) {
                    IIteration iter = (IIteration) repo.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(iteration, 0, monitor);

I'm trying to create a child iteration, here is my code

  newIteration.setId(str);
  newIteration.setName(str);
  newIteration.setParent(iter);
  workingDevLine.setName(iter.getName());
  workingDevLine.addIteration((IIterationHandle) newIteration.getItemHandle());
   newIteration.setDevelopmentLine(workingDevLine);
  service.save(new IProcessItem[]{workingDevLine, newIteration}, monitor);

but here is the error that I'm getting


Unable to login: Timeline 'Parent Backlog' contains iteration 'child iteration' which has a non-null parent iteration. Any idea ?

Hello Rachid,

I have a question on how do you get the id field for iteration. I am not able to find a method that will give me the last id, so that I can increment it by 1 and use it.

So I have to manually come up with an id to pass to the method : newIteration.setId(str).

Can you please help me with that?

 Hello Rachid,

What you are trying to do is to create a child iteration of an already existing iteration.  The method I suggested was for creating Iteration directly under a timeline.  It is something like this.

---> Development Line
       ---> Iteration 1
              --->Child Iteration 1.1 
              --->Child Iteration 1.2
       ---> Iteration 2
              --->Child Iteration 2.1 
              --->Child Iteration 2.2


The method I suggested will create iteration 1 or iteration 2.  But you cannot create any of the child iteration.  I will post another code in a few minutes for creating child iteration.

Thanks Sapan for your help,  it looks like my issue was during service.save, I have made the change and I was able to create the child iteration.

This is my program to create sub-iterations:

public static void createNewIterations(IDevelopmentLine line, Date lastIterationDate) 
    throws TeamRepositoryException, IOException {
    IDevelopmentLine devLineCopy = ((IDevelopmentLine)line.getWorkingCopy());
   
    IIteration newYearIteration = (IIteration) IIteration.ITEM_TYPE.createItem();
    newYearIteration.setName(color + " (" + startEnd + ") " + year);
    newYearIteration.setId(color + " (" + startEnd + "e33ee20e3ifd " + year);
    newYearIteration.setHasDeliverable(true);
    newYearIteration.setDevelopmentLine(devLineCopy);
    devLineCopy.addIteration(newYearIteration);
    IProcessItem[] items = service.save(new IProcessItem[]{devLineCopy, newYearIteration}, null);
    IDevelopmentLine devLine2 = (IDevelopmentLine)teamRepository.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(items[0].getItemHandle(), IItemManager.DEFAULT, null);
    IIteration trueNewYearIteration = (IIteration)teamRepository.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(items[1].getItemHandle(), IItemManager.DEFAULT, null);
   
    IDevelopmentLine devLineCopy2 = ((IDevelopmentLine)devLine2.getWorkingCopy());
    IIteration newYearIterationCopy = (IIteration) trueNewYearIteration.getWorkingCopy();
   
    Date newWeekIterationStartDate = dateHelper.addDays(lastIterationDate,1);
    Date newWeekIterationEndDate = dateHelper.addDays(lastIterationDate,14);
   
   
    //Red 2014 I26 (12.22)
    int iterationNumber = 1;

    while(dateHelper.getYear(newWeekIterationStartDate) != Integer.parseInt(year) + 1){
   
    String weekIterationName = "";
    String monthAndDay = (newWeekIterationStartDate.getMonth() + 1) + "." + newWeekIterationStartDate.getDate();
    if(iterationNumber <= 9)
    weekIterationName = color + " " + year + " IIdei0" + iterationNumber + " (" + monthAndDay + ")";
    else
    weekIterationName = color + " " + year + " IIdei0" + iterationNumber + " (" + monthAndDay + ")";
   
    IIteration newWeekIteration = (IIteration) IIteration.ITEM_TYPE.createItem();
    newWeekIteration.setName(weekIterationName);
    newWeekIteration.setId(weekIterationName);
    newWeekIteration.setStartDate(newWeekIterationStartDate);
    newWeekIteration.setEndDate(newWeekIterationEndDate);
    newWeekIteration.setHasDeliverable(true);
   
    newYearIterationCopy.addChild(newWeekIteration);
    newWeekIteration.setParent(newYearIterationCopy);
    newWeekIteration.setDevelopmentLine(devLineCopy2);
   
   
    newWeekIterationStartDate = dateHelper.addDays(newWeekIterationEndDate, 1);
    newWeekIterationEndDate = dateHelper.addDays(newWeekIterationStartDate, 13);
    iterationNumber++;
   
        System.out.println(weekIterationName);
        IProcessItem[] iitems = service.save(new IProcessItem[]{devLineCopy2,newYearIterationCopy,newWeekIteration}, null);
       
        devLineCopy2 = (IDevelopmentLine)teamRepository.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem
        (iitems[0].getItemHandle(), IItemManager.DEFAULT, null).getWorkingCopy();
        newYearIterationCopy = (IIteration)teamRepository.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem
        (iitems[1].getItemHandle(), IItemManager.DEFAULT, null).getWorkingCopy();
       
   
    }


    }
