Hi Guys

                I need to Move my complete environment from one server to another.

Current Environment: Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit. SQL 2008 R2//tfs 2010 

Target Environment: Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit. SQL 2008 R2//tfs 2010 > where i need to restore whole environment with complete histories.

Kindly share what steps i need to follow in this regard.

What i have done:

Install TFS2010 on Target environment. I have 2 project collections in my Current environment.

A

B

I have created project collection A on my target machine and restore A project collection database from Current environment to Target environment.

Results: 

ALL projects are being displayed and opened. Work items are displaying. There is one flaw in this methodology , Source code is missing.

That's why i have stop this approach and decided to consult you guys.

kindly share your thoughts in this regard.

Replace DatabasaName with variables while checking in the code into TFS using VS

July 8, 2014, 12:16 am

Hi,

I have created a variable DB_Test in a database project in VS. Whenever I make changes in the Database objects (like views & Stored procs) I do a schema compare using database as source and project as target and then update teh changes. The objects in TFS have the variable for referring to the DB (e.g., [$(DB_Test)].[dbo].[tblTest]) and after I update the TFS code using the database code the variable gets overwritten by the databasaname mentioned in the database. So, every time I update the code in TFS using schema compare, I will have to manually replace the database names in TFS with variable so that when I deploy from TFS into the database of another environment I could change the variable accordingy before publish.

I would like to know if there is a way where the VS itself replaces all the database names with variable references if already defined in the project?

Thanks,Vamsi

Current Sprint doesn't display the bugs with custom statuses. How to adjust it?

My team has configured the TFS 2012 using the "scrum" template both for developing applications and keeping track of Bugs. Here I should mention that, for some reason, we have added custom statuses to the Bugs. Shortly thereafter we noticed that custom-status bugs do not turn up on the next tab (on Web page): Work \ Backlog \ Current sprint. They only appear again when we set the "Done" status to them (which is a standard status). I guess I have to modify the query for this page by adding our custom statuses. Could anybody tell me where this query is?

Is there a way to view a TFS Project description from within VS.

Our company doesn't give us access to the TFS Admin Console.  We don't have a sharepoint site for the project either.

Change in backlog priority triggers mass email alerts

Hi,

So I have a backlog and I have some backlog items assigned to staff for one reason or another. 

I then insert a backlog item fairly near the top. This has the effect of changing the computed backlog priority number for each of the items below the newly inserted. 

I have the email alert "A change is made to a work item that is assigned to me"

Problem is i don't want a change in backlog priority to trigger mass emails to all people affected. 

I've had a look at the Alert Filters and can't see an option to say I.E

AND Backlog Priority Has NOT Changed.

I only have the options Changed from and Changed to and Changes.

Thanks

How to re-use a custom control code (TFS) in Team Web Access?

Hello,

I am currently developing on a Team Web Access plugin and I was wondering if it's possible to re-use a work item custom control we've already created (C#) for our Team Foundation Server code (mostly our code review module).

In other words, using Jquery, is there a way to "bind" the functionality we use for our customized code review to our team web access? (Note that I'm not too familiar with Jquery however).

Thank you.

If we install/upgrade TFS 2013 with msdn ultimate or premium can contractors with msdn professional licence access the TFS server?

We want to use some automated testing features in MSDN premium as part of automated builds on the server. My questions is can developer access the same TFS using web access or visualstudio having professional MSDN licence?

These developers are contractors with extra CAL licence to access the server.

Add bugs to the task board - can't import ProcessConfiguration.xml

July 10, 2014, 11:14 am

I am using TFS 2013. The setup uses the Agile template (AFAIK). I am following this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj920163.aspx to add bugs to the task board. Right now, when team members add a bug, including myself, they just "disappear". I can't find them via the TFS web portal or through Visual Studio (2013).

So, I've worked through the article and am on the step: Add metastate mapping to the process configuration


When I try to import the updated ProcessConfiguration.xml file, I receive the following error:

The following element contains an error: TaskBacklog/States. TF400587: This element defines the states for work items that appear on your backlog. Each state must exist in at least one of the work item types belong to category defined in: 'TaskBacklog/States'. The following state does not exist in any of the work item types: New.

I have no idea which file to update to resolve this issue. I've used witadmin to look at the task.xml file, but can't make heads or tails of it in regards to this problem (the article makes no mention of it, but other help threads have).

Where would I go to add the new work item types?

Here is my XML file:

publish sqlproj during build, but don't publish other projects

I have a solution with various projects (including a wpf project, a console project and a sql project).

I created a publish file for the sql project to deploy the database to a specific server and database to run the unittests on it after the build.
I configured "always re-create database" in the publish profile.

Then I created a build definition and put the msbuild arguments:

/t:Build /t:Publish /p:SQLPublishProfilePath=publish.unittest.xml

The Build now is able to publish the sql project, but it also tries to publish the wpf project and the sql project - which I try to avoid.
Is there any way to avoid publishing those other projects?

Is there a way to publish the database on each build - without changing the default build template?

PS: I'm using VS2013 and TFS2013

Max file path of 259 character limit

November 19, 2010, 6:36 am
$

I know that there is currently limit on the max file path in TFS 2010, and honestly, I can't believe this limitation still exists!  It's the year 2010 and we're using Windows 7 with VS and TFS 2010, with 64-bit hardware and software.  Why on earth is this limitation from like 1995 still in place?!? Anyways, sorry for that short rant, I am just very frustrated over this.

We use feature branches at our office, and have a very large solution (around 450 projects separated between 2 VS solutions).  Obviously, to keep everything in a nice logical, easy to understand format, we end up with a namespace hierarchy that is several layers deep, which leads to folders that are also several layers deep, creating very long file paths.

When trying to Get Latest on a feature branch of ours, we are getting errors such as:

TF205022: The following path contains more than the allowed 259 characters: C:\dev\TFS\RQ4TeamProject\Dev\RQ4\FeatureBranches\PP_DuplicateDetection\Code\IQ.Enterprise.Integration.Windmobile.ApplicationServices\Service References\Intec\IQ.Enterprise.Integration.Windmobile.ApplicationServices.Intec.ProdInstServiceRetrieveData.datasource. Specify a shorter path.

 

The case above isn't so bad since the error message actually told us the problem; that the file path is too long.  We've had several developers waste days trying to figure out why our solution would build on our local machines, but not on our build server.  The only error message we would receive was, "cannot find reference to assembly X".  As it turned out, the build server plopped all of the files into a root folder whose path was about 15 characters longer than on our local machines, so assembly X was never being built because its file path was too long, and hence it couldn't be found.

Our solution to this so far has been to go in and start renaming namespaces and assemblies and the like to try and shorten their names, which works, but is a real pain.  And as our solution continues to grow, it's going to lead to more obscure and unclear namespaces, making our code harder to understand.

Is there some other solution to this file path limit that I am not aware of?  And are there any plans to address this issue in future versions (I sure hope so)?

Hi, 

Can we move source control code from one project to another project with everything (History, Branches and Labels)?

I've checked other related posts and used the TFS Integration Tool but it's also not migrating history and labels.

Any other way to migrate everything?

This article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/hh562968%28v=vs.110%29.aspx implies that the Feedback tool can only be used by people on our domain.

Can external people use the Feedback tool, or only internal people on our network?

now the option to edit has gone...anybody know where/how to get it back?

TFS 2010 Full Analysis Database Sync fails with message "Cannot open database "Current nnn" requested by the login."

July 11, 2014, 9:08 am
$

Actual message was "Cannot open database "Current71020092" requested by the login."

I could not find this exact problem documented.  I found a fix.

Following steps to rebuild the analysis server cube, drop and recreate the analysis server cube, and drop both analysis server cube and the tfs_warehouse database resulted in the exact same error.

Fact#1  If you try to make a connection to SQL Server and you specify an "initial catalog" aka database, and the database does not exist or you don't have rights, the login will fail.

Fact#2 Somehow every time the analysis server cube was rebuilt, the data source connection string was created with an Initial catalog of this random database name that did not exist: Current71020092

Here is the STR and fix.

1. Connect to MS Analysis Server instance 10.50.2500 for TFS 2010 with SSMS 2008 R2 10.50.1790

2. Navigate Databases..TFS_Analysis..Data Sources..TFS_AnalysisDataSource

3. Rt-Mouse Properties.

4. Inspect Connection String.  Verify that the Initial Catalog= has the CurrentNNNNN database name.

5. Modify the initial catalog to the TFS_Warehouse database for your installation.

Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=.;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=tfs_warehouse

6. Use the Web Services Client to invoke Full Analysis processing. It will now succeed.
