I got a response in email to my question below, stating that they create
a new timeline for each development project (in the same project area,
because their process is not changed).

I'd need to know more details about the development projects to be sure,
but usually what I'd recommend is to extend the existing timelines
rather than creating new timelines. So once you have a team complete
project 23, add a new iteration in the existing timeline for their next
project, rather than creating a new timeline.

This should be much more manageable than creating all those timelines.

Cheers,
Geoff

Just for interest's sake, why would a single project area would require
that many timelines? I commonly see 2 or 3, and in some extreme cases, a
dozen or two ... but never hundreds.

BTW, were you trying to create more than 2048 timelines or more than
2048 timelines and iterations?

I created them by api.
service = (IProcessItemService)
repo.getClientLibrary(IProcessItemService.class);
auditableClient = (IAuditableClient)
repo.getClientLibrary(IAuditableClient.class);
URI.create(projectAreaName.replaceAll(" ",
"%20"));
projectArea = (IProjectArea) service.findProcessArea(uri, null,
null);

projectArea = (IProjectArea) projectArea.getWorkingCopy();
service.getMutableCopy(projectArea);

developmentLine = (IDevelopmentLine)
developmentLine.getWorkingCopy();
developmentLine = (IDevelopmentLine)
IDevelopmentLine.ITEM_TYPE.createItem();
String devdeger = Integer.toString(i);
developmentLine.setId(devdeger);
developmentLine.setName(devdeger);
developmentLine.setProjectArea(projectArea);
projectArea.addDevelopmentLine(developmentLine);

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

I'm sure you can create and update from API ... I don't think you can
delete one though (but you can "archive it").

In the jazz.extensions forum, you should be able to get some hints about
how to use the API.

Caveat: there may only be internal API for the functions for this, in
which case you'll want to submit an enhancement request to jazz.net,
identifying the functionality for which you need external API.

Thank you Geoff..

Is it possible to manage timeline (create, delete, update) from API,
or Rest?

I am aware of no limitations on the total number of timelines you can
create.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi,

Is there any total number limitation for creating timeline in a RTC
project area..
