We are looking at introducing Team Foundation Server 2015 RC2 into production but before introducing the new version I wanted to ensure that the newest release candidate is not coming out in the middle (i.e. I only want to upgrade once) so I was wondering if anyone has heard of the release date for RC3?
Thanks.
Hello.
I searched on the web, but I couldn't find any official announcement about TFS 15 and Visual Studio 15 release date. The TFS 15 RC2 is now available on MSDN and also Visual Studio 15 Preview 5, but I would like to know the time frame when there will be an official final release of these two.
Has anyone have a clue?
Thank you very much for your answers.
Best regards,

Hi Guys/Girls
We are contractors specializing in SharePoint and working with many different customers. In order to make our lives easier and to help prevent redeveloping for the same problem multiple times, we have what we call a “Common” solution. This solution contains all our helper classes and reusable objects so we can just reference them.
The problem with the “Common” solution is that we need to give the code to multiple customers. Meaning, we need to check this one solution into multiple TFS servers for multiple customers. Or more specifically, we need to keep changes and updates for this solution in sync across multiple TFS servers as we continue to develop.
I know it would not be practical to automatically sync the solution to multiple TFS servers. The VPN connections alone will make this unrealistic. But there has to be a better way than manually binding and unbinding to multiple servers.
We are only using the “Common” solution at a few clients currently and this is already proving to be a problem. As we start using this for more customers, it will start becoming unmaintainable very quickly.
Anyone else have this problem? And hopefully a solution? J
I have two build definitions (D1 & D2) pointing to the same branch (B).
D1 is set to Gated and D2 is set to CI.
When the gated build succeeds, we want the CI build to start (but we don't want the CI build to start if the gated build fails).
The D1 checkin comments are being appended with ***NO_CI***, which is what I thought was preventing the CI builds from starting.
I followed this post (http://donovanbrown.com/post/How-to-have-CI-builds-run-after-a-Gated-Build) to add a DisableCI option to the D1 definition and set its value to "false."
Should this allow the CI (D2) build to start when the Gated one succeeds?
Any clarification would be appreciated.
Thank you.
During the developing, I always to use SVN to do source control. It is free for us, and I want to konw some information about TFS:
1). During the developing, whether I could use TFS like SVN in my VS to manage my project?
2). How to install TFS, I only have a one computer?
3). What are the primay differences between TFS and VSTS? I know I could use VSTS in my VS.
We are just introducing the new build system in TFS 2015 in our development. The user running the build agent is member of the group TFS_BuildService_... that is administrator on the server.
Our problem is that the build agent hasn't got enough permissions for our PowerShell script to succeed in the build. IBuildDetail.Save fails after updating the build number. Files located in the temporary directory given by the environment variable for the
logged in user cannot be updated. Separate test processes that read and alter registry keys fails. We have tried deactivating the antivrus real-time scan to no avail.
What setting are we missing?

Hi,
I'm getting a typescript compilation error on my hosted server.
It runs typescript from this path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.8\tsc.exe --noEmitOnError
I would like it run with the typescript I have installed via npm, but it does not....
Steps I have taken:
Added an npm install typescript@latest -g command in build script.
How can I solve this?

Trying to build my first extension... I've followed the tutorials and looked at various samples, but for whatever reason I'm not seeing the Add Custom Control button on the Work Item Layout/Fields headers. What am I missing to get this to show up?
I have the following type and target in my vss-extension.json file under "contributions":
"type": "ms.vss-work-web.work-item-form-control","targets": ["ms.vss-work-web.work-item-form" ],
We are migrating our 12 team projects into a new collection and a single team project. As part of this cleanup we are updating the custom fields on our WIT definitions to match our new company name. We want to keep the old collection on-line (read only) indefinitely, and want to be able to use the warehouse to continue historical reporting.
In the old project collection called CompanyA, we have a custom field on User Story WIT called "Classification" with a Refname of "CompanyA.Classification", reporting to the warehouse as a dimension. In the new project collection, CompanyB, we have the same field "Classification" with a refname of "CompanyB.Classification" that is set to report as a dimension.
When the warehouse builds, I get the following error:
<ResultMessage>[Work Item Tracking Warehouse Sync]: ---> TF293000: The data warehouse has detected data conflicts for the following work item fields:
CompanyB.Classification<->CompanyA.Classification (CompanyA);
The conflicts occur because there are differences in the attributes set for reportable fields that are defined across team project collections. Updates to the data warehouse will continue for project collection Amadeus. However, updates to the data for the
conflicting fields are suspended until the conflicts are resolved. You can resolve these conflicts by making the definitions of the field the same in all project collections, or by marking the field as non-reportable in project collection Amadeus. For more
information, see the following Microsoft Web site:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=160807.</ResultMessage>
How do I get past this error without changing the name on the field in either collection (we need to be "Classification" in both places for reporting purposes) and not having to retain the old "CompanyA" refname since our company is now CompanyB, and management wants it to say "CompanyB", and I want to be able to see "Classification" on all work items in both collections in the warehouse for reporting purposes.
Help! how do I do this?
Thanks,
John
Hello,
Support for paid extensions in TFS 2017 is good. What is scope of use of an extension for a user?
For example we have single TFS server with 3 project collections. And single user would use the extension on project in every project collection. Do I need to buy the extension 3 times (for each collection)? Is it fine to buy just one (1 user), and this user can use it at any project collection.
What about scoping on server? When I buy an extension for a user, can he/she use it on any TFS in organization?
Is the licensing same for all extensions?
Best regards,

We have one user (other users do not seem to be affected) who when she selects a test suite, and then selects Add Existing does not get the query but an error at the bottom of the window stating:
expecting end of string. the error is caused by >>System.Id<<. parameter name: wiql
Anyone know how to solve a problem we have if user A adds a file to their project which causes it to be included in project file. Then doesn't check in those new files because they are unfinished. If user B gets the latest project file it will be missing those new files and cause errors. On the other hand, if user A doesn't check in the project file, but does check in some new files, user B will get the new files, but they won't be included in their project, or worse will be missing some relation tags like 'dependsupon' e.g. XSD, rpt, etc which have dependency links specified in the project file.
Any suggestion for a policy or workflow that will help us fix this? Should users shelve unfinished work and unshelve work to check in so the project file is accurate?

I want to install VS2017, I have some simple question.
First, I wanto to use C# language, and I dont wanto to install VB, F# and other languages. How to set when I set up.
Sencond, I only want to use web feature, and other feautures I do not need, please share me how to set before installing.
Third, my computer's RAM is 2G, if I run VS2017, whether it could impact the performance.
Four, if VS2017 RT released, whether the vs2017rc could update to VS2017 RT? And whether I need to install VS2017 RT again.
