Microsoft Feedback Client Save directory

$

0

I have a TFS 2012 server and i am testing out Microsoft Feedback Client 2012 for my business testers to use when doing UAT as it's simple, straightforward and the direct interface with TFS makes it an ideal candidate.

My problem is with the directory where files are saved. I would like to know if there's a way to change it from:

C:\Users\[userid]\AppData\Local\Temp\ManualTestTempFolder to any directory of my choice?

Thanks,


TFS Kanban board not visible for some users

$

We have TFS 2012 and some users can see the Kanban board while other users cannot see Kanban board or (WorkàBacklogs). We compared the permission under administrator settings and seems to be same for all users (developers group). Is there any special permission or server side permission you have to assign to see Kanban or backlogs tab?

Any guidance or instructions would be helpful.

Thanks,

witadmin importgloballist fails but says it succeeded

$

I'm running witadmin from the Visual Studio 2013, Update 4.

I'm importing a new global list.

I run witadmin as follows;

c:\program files x86)\microsoft visual studio 12.0\common7\ide\witadmin.exe importgloballist /collection:http://<servername>:8080/tfs/<collection name> /f:<path to global list.xml>

The program says:

The global list was successfully imported.

I then run 

c:\program files x86)\microsoft visual studio 12.0\common7\ide\witadmin.exe exportgloballist /collection:http://<servername>:8080/tfs/<collection name> /f:<path to global list.xml>

The changes have not been made.

After much trial and error, I finally determined to delete the TFS cache by typing:

%localappdata%\microsoft\team foundation server\5.0\cache

I then run the witadmin to import the global list and it works!

Why do I have to delete the local cache to get it to work?  Why can't I rely on the result message from witadmin to tell me the truth?

  Hi  All,

 We had created team project collection and team project in tfs (Team Foundation Server). then added theasp.net website

to the tfs team project.

My collegues and me then mapped the project to our local system.

On my collegue system the project opens as expected.

I connected to TFS using the "Team" menu "connect to team foundation server" option.

Unfortunately on my system, when i open the local system mapped project i get below error message in 

visual studio output window.

Error opening web http://localhost:61641. Unable to open the Web site 'http://localhost:61641'.  The Web server 'http://localhost:61641' could not be found.

I opened the .sln file in notepad and found that http://localhost:61641 has to do something with TFS.

Kindly Help.

Thanks in Advance.

I need to clone a collection with it's projects and do test with it.

I follow the instructions referenced in this link (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd936138.aspx), in the instructions indicates that existing projects must be deleted from one of the collection, but I need to use the projects on the cloned collection (without having to remove them from the source collection), besides that, I can't delete the projects in the source collection and It's needed to maintain source and cloned collection online.
What can i do in order to maintain the projects in the source collection and the cloned collection?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards.

Audberto.

Hi,

Sounds silly. But I cannot find a print button to print PBI after opening. It overlaps the background screen if I use the browser Print button.

Any help would be appreciated.

Error when adding work items to a project through the web access (TFS 2013)

$
0
0

Hello,

Sometimes when users try to add work items to any of the existing projects through the web interface, the whole page hangs for a while, while it's loading the work item form and in the end pops up with the error that I pasted at the end of the post.

What I've noticed is that every time a user tries adding a work item, a newly created SQL query hangs and eats up a lot of CPU resources.  After restarting the whole sql server instance it the whole thing usually works for a day or so and then starts hanging up again.

No such issues through the VS interface, it's just the web access that causes this issue.

The error mentioned above:

  a is undefined

Load Testing -- Scalability using both on-site and VisualStudio.com test controllers / agents

$

Hello All,

I'm putting together a plan to implement a scalable solution for our load testing requirements.  The idea is that we have an on-site test controller and agent(s) that will scale out to a point, and then add further capacity via the VisualStudio.com test controller / agents as needed.

With the current version(s) of the Visual Studio tools, is this possible and has anyone done it?

Also, when using VisualStudio.com controllers and agents, what are the considerations on the local servers (firewall ports, etc) to be able to effectively connect and gather performance data?

Thanks for any insight you can provide!

A team member who has used TFS over the course of three upgrades and server migrations and a Windows account change of her own is having Visual Studio slowness and TFS configuration issues.  A previous app-tier server keeps appearing in her LocationServiceData.config file, even after clearing the cache and AppData directories and running devenv /resetuserdata.

Copy-and-Paste in WebAccess destroys System.History-Field

i have a workitem 4711 with a couple of comments von different people. for example

Jonathan Butler : "This used to work"

Anton Miller : "I think it's in myfunction.c"

If you take a look on the workitem in WebAcecss you see a Identity Image for the Person, his name and then the Comment

If you mark the Comment it's quite easy to mark the Identity Image too, then you make strg-c and paste it with strg-v in another workitem and save it. it's takes a long time, and then the new item is corrupt. it is not possible to save more text in the field. if you change another field, then you can save the workitem but you lose the text in system.hostoryfield.

we are using TFS 2013 Update 4 und IE 11. if you try to paste this in VS 2013 Ultimate Update 4 it's ok.

here ist the corrupt part:

TFS BPA Scanned log file size is 265 GB for SharePoint health check.

Hi Team,

Appreciate your efforts.

Here is background of the issue:

We upgraded TFS 2010 to TFS 2013 update 4 and WSS 3.0 Sp2 to SharePoint 2013 Foundation Sp1.

Running a BPA tool(Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2013 Update 2 Power Tools) for TFS 2013 Update 4.

Scanned log file size for TFS Framework health check, TFS Build health check, TFS warehouse health check was acceptable, but when we ran BPA for SharePoint health check the scanned log file is 265 GB even though SharePoint content database size is 226 GB.

It would be great if you can help us why this scanned log file size is 265 GB and with this size we cannot read and analyze.

Here is our Env details:

Server: windows server 2012 standard,TFS : TFS 2013 update4, Powertool:Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2013 Update 2 Power Tools , SharePoint: SharePoint 2013 Foundation sp1.

Using TFS and email for bug reports or feature requests

$
0

We've just rolled out a beta of our website and are soliciting feedback from external customers.  We set up a distribution list in Exchange where those emails all come to, but it's not practical.  It's difficult to track, it's non threaded and we have different people responding and testing the same items.

We recently installed TFS 2010 to give it a trial run (nobody has ever used TFS before at all nor is anyone really familiar with it) and I have to imagine that you can use TFS to provide this sort of functionality.  Is there a paper or website out there that discussion doing this via TFS?  Basically what I'm looking for is:

1. User is presented with a webform, fills it out, clicks submit which generates an email sent to us (done)
1b. An auto response message is sent to the user who submits the form (not done as Exhchange distro wont do this without going the public folder route)

2. Instead of the email coming to us, it would go to TFS which would auto-open a ticket
3. All of us would have access to the ticket queue and be able to do the following
a. ask further questions to the end user, have it sent to them automatically, update the ticket with the emails so we can all follow the thread
b. able to reassign the ticket to a backlog, or as a bug to a current iteration or simply close it

I'm an IT guy/project manager rather than a developer but I'm pretty good at following documentation if I can find it for what I'm trying to do.  Thanks for any pointers.
