Hello Friends,

I have installed TFS 2015 Update 3 in the month of September 2016, it was working fine all these days. now suddenly i am seeing abnormal behaviour, below are my findings.

1. TFS Scheduled Backup is getting Failed with below error message

TFS 2017 Team Project with no Project Administrator (Upgraded from 2015 RTM)

December 19, 2016, 10:15 am

hi!

I have a problem with a Team Project on TFS 2017.   Specifically, it has no members in its Project Administrators group.   Further, when I attempt to add a member under any account with any level of permissions, TFS says "You do not have the required permissions to perform this action."    (Displayed on the security web page:

https://<server>/tfs/<collection>/<project>/_admin/_security?_a=members)

My account is in the BUILDIN/Administrators group of the machine, and it is a TFS Administration Console user.   It is a Project Collection Administrator, and has also been placed in all of the TFS groups using TfsSecurity.

None of these permissions allow me to put a user into the project administrators group of that project.   Can you tell me how to work around this issue?   I have an older copy of this collection running under TFS 2015 RTM, and on that server I am allowed to put a user into the project administrators group of that project and remove him with no issues.

Nothing else that I can detect has changed.   Only the TFS version (2015 RTM versus 2017)

Is there a way around this situation?   How can I get a project administrator into that project on TFS 2017 when it currently has no Project Administrator?

Bug in TFS 2017 Collection Upgrade?

November 25, 2016, 4:14 pm

hi, we are doing a "practice upgrade" from TFS 2015 RTM to TFS 2017, (for the second time), and seem to be running into a bug that crashes a collection upgrade.   Bear in mind that there has only been time, so far to reproduce this issue twice, and I will describe what seems to be the steps to reproduce it.

In both run-throughs, (using different collections, but getting the same error in the log when the crash occurred), it only occurred on the _first_ collection upgrade, and I suspect that you have to follow a particular pattern of upgrading in order to get the crash.    Since we always follow this pattern it has happened to us twice now.

First, establish a TFS 2015 RTM server with a few collections.   When you upgrade to 2017, follow this pattern:

While on the old software detach all collections.  Remove the application tier.

Install TFS 2017.  

Configure the application Tier and let 2017 upgrade your configuration database.

Attach the first collection.   Around steps 22-30 it has crashed with the following error at the tail end of the log:

In the first run-through, I restored the collection from backup, and created a new TFS_Configuration database.   Then when I attached, the collection upgraded with no issue.

I  have just discovered that all of my collections are crashing with this same error no matter how many times I restore the databases and attempt the upgrade.   We are in trouble.   At present I know of no way to get around this anymore other than possibly to recreate the TFS_Configuration database.

I'll have to try that to see if it works.   However, it leaves me unsure about possible permissions issues that might become unset as a result of doing this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Can you give me any insights or work-arounds on this issue?

Regards,

TFS Work Item - ValidUser and ProhibitedValues

December 20, 2016, 7:58 am
$

I want to create a work item on a project, but only allow one of these items for an individual user.  I have a background process that maintains a global list of users who have a record on the project and I want to use that global list to prevent users from creating a duplicate record.  Here is the xml:

<FieldDefinition name="Person" refname="My.Person" type="String">
  <FROZEN />
  <VALIDUSER  />
  <PROHIBITEDVALUES expanditems="true">
    <GLOBALLIST name="ProjectA Users" />
  </PROHIBITEDVALUES>
</FieldDefinition>

When I have the validuser rule it doesn't work.  If I use an allowedvalues with another (larger) global list it works, but it doesn't act like an identity field (TFS-2015), so the searching and moniker don't show up like a person field should.  My goal is to have the field also handle name changes if possible, therefore I would like to use validuser to help with the identitysync.  I have tried to change the order of the rules in the xml, but this doesn't seem to make a difference.

I have also tried a whenchanged/copy/prohibitedvalues on another hidden field, but that didn't seem to work either.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi,

1)Would anyone provide guidance about how to build a web dashboard for multiple projects at one place

2) Lets say we have a feature to be developed in a project and we have multiple teams to do their own piece to get the feature implemented. How do we get the effective status of that feature? ( Eg : A feature is in Active Status and there are 5 user stories which need to be done by 5 teams independent of each other. One team has the story closed and other four active. Is there a way to extract the status ?Any pointers?)

Thank you in anticipation.

Custom build process template files with git as source control.

Hey!

I'm trying to migrate an old tfvc project into a git project. Moving all the code with the history to git was easy enough and I allready got the development setups working.

The problem I'm having is that we have a lot of custom xaml build process template files that I would want to migrate over to the git process. When I try to save a build definition it's giving me the error:

TF401203: You cannot use a custom template stored in a Git repository for MyBuild. To use a custom template stored in a Git repository, you must first upgrade the build controller SD-build1 and it's build agents to Team Foundation Server 2013 or newer.

What would be my best approach from here? Would it be possible to keep the buildprocess template files in the TFVC project and use them from there or is the only solution to update the build controllers? Also if I have to update the build controllers how destructive of a process is it? I'm doing this side by side with the TFVC development so if upgrading the controller for example breaks the TFVC integration or any of the builds it's just not a possibility.

TFS 2017 + Sharepoint 2013 + Work Item = Form element cannot contain an element of type Unknown

December 15, 2016, 10:23 am

Hello everyone,

I'm having some problems when i try to add a "New work item" or when i try to "Open a work item" using the sharepoint team site. It doesn't matter the template that i use(Agile, scrum and etc), everytime i get the error 'Form' element cannot contain an element of type 'Unknown' when creating or opening a work item! It's just on the sharepoint team site, if i use the tfs web portal, then everything works, I can create and open work items and the work items created using the tfs web portal appear on the sharepoint team portal as they should, but like i said above i can't open them because of the error.

Image of the problem: http://image.prntscr.com/image/34e6b27d613d4a529cfe2c1c85b0f268.png

The environment:


Machine 1 - TFS 2017 on Windows Server 2012 R2, with MS SQL Server 2014 SP2 + Cumulative update 2(Build 12.0.5522);
Machine 2 - SharePoint 2013 SP1 (with November, 2016, cumulative update) on Windows Server 2012 R2 + TFS 2017 Sharepoint Extension Tools;
Machine 3 - MS SQL Server 2014 SP2 + Cumulative update 2(Build 12.0.5522) on Windows Server 2012 R2 (Used by SharePoint);

/\ this is an upgrade that i did a few days ago from our tfs 2015 update 3 environment, that was also an upgrade from our older tfs 2010 environment, the older tfs 2010 environment didn't have sharepoint! I installed sharepoint after i did the upgrade from TFS 2010 SP1 to TFS 2015 update 3 to test the sharepoint portal because we need to start using it! I did not have any problem with the upgrade from TFS 2010 SP1 to TFS 2015 update 3 and after to TFS 2017(no errors at all during the upgrade)!

Another small problem, is that i don't remember if this issue('Form' element cannot contain an element of type 'Unknown') was happening when i was using the sharepoint team site with TFS 2015 update 3.

So I am extremely new to using Team Foundation so please inform me if my wording or even my question is not valid. So tonight I installed Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server onto a fresh install of Windows Server 2012 R2. I can successfully write code in my visual studio, publish it, and have it build within the team foundation server. However after that I don't understand the point because I want to download my completed build. For example I built a console application simply to test the building. Now that it has successfully build where do I go to download the finished product. I see parts on there for publishing like web sites and so on but that doesn't help me. From the screenshot posted below how do I do something like download a zip folder of the completed application?

Branch renaming - Binding Error

Hello,

We've created 3 branches for DEV, TEST, and PROD and placed the same source code in each. The branch has the same name as the solution. However when we rename the branch (suffixing with -DEV -TEST -PROD), the build in VS-TFS2015 not only fails saying the folder doesn't exist, but we receive binding errors in Visual Studio when trying to open the project.

The only solution we've found is to hack the .sln file in notepad and rename the project and directory to match the branch name.

What is the suggested approach to promoting source code up through a tiered environment without hacking the .sln file?

Thanks,

Adam Turner

TFS2017 locale issue

Hi,

we have the following issue with our new TFS2017 Installation:

1. German Windows Installation

2. German Installation of Internet Explorer 11

3. In IE: "Extras/Internet Options/General/Languages: English(USA) on top of the list, second entry is "German"

4. Visual Studio and TFS are all installed in english language (e. g. "tfsserver2017_enu.iso")

5. In our company software developers decided to work in english language, our TFS Profile ("My Profile") is set to locale "English(United States)"


In TFS 2015 everything works fine.


In TFS 2017: selecting "board" on "address/collection/project" leads to the following error:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Error
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable.
TF20036: The macro  "@heute - 7" is not recognized. Available macros include @Me, @Project, @Today and @CurrentIteration"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
("Heute" means "today")

Switching to german language in TFS 2017 profile makes TFS to display the board in german language without error message.
Thats not the same behaviour as TFS2015.
Is there a way to make TFS2017 behave as TFS2015, or is this an issue in TFS2017?
