TF237090: Does not exist or access is denied, when usint witadmin importwitd
Hi all,
I installed a TFS2013 and attached our TFS2012 database. I can access the project and everything works fine. But now I want to upgrad our process template. When I try to upload a new work item, I get:
TF237090: Does not exist or access is denied.
When I download an existing work item, and upload it again, it works. Any ideas on this?
Thanks and regards, Sprengmeister

How To Get List of Field Names for Work Item using WIQL (Work Item Query Language)
I've written a query to get some Work Item data out of TFS. I can connect and pull some data but not all. Here's a code snippet:
Dim myData As WorkItemCollection = workItemStore.Query(sql) For Each WorkItem In myData Msgbox "ID: " & WorkItem.ID Next
I'd like to be able to pull the name of the person to whom the Work Item is assigned to, the priority, etc. I can 't seem to find a list of fields that are available to me. WorkItem.AssignedTo and WorkItem.BacklogPriority or WorkItem.Priority does not work.
Where can I get a list of fields that I can access? Also, we've created a user defined field in our Work Item Template to hold Story Points. How would I access that information using WIQL?
Thanks a million.

Feature Request: Customize Kanban columns to add/remove user defined tags.
I love Work Item Tags. We use them extensively for filtering the backlog. I would like to see the ability to customize kanban columns to apply user specified Tags to items in the column.

TFS Build Automation and Deployment
I was wondering how to have TFS deploy our builds to different environments once an automated build is complete. For example, our solution includes a website project, database project, and database server project. When we check in code, we have a build
definition with a CI trigger that builds the solution and puts the output in a drop location. That part is working great. Ideally, TFS could then go ahead and deploy the changes to our QA environment for review. The only trick is, the destination servers are
only accessible to us via FTP. What's a good way to handle auto-deployment after the build in this scenario? (Sorry if I'm missing something obvious here)

Keeping TFS History
I had created a branch off my main project(the trunk I guess) in tfs for dev purposes. I did my work there for a time and then merged everything back into the trunk. For all intensive purposes my branch is now dead. I don't see having to use it anymore
. In order to keep things organized I really would now like to just delete this branch so as to not have other developers be confused when they go into TFS. (Trying to keep needless code or projects to a minimum if possible)
However, this now leads to the question of having the history. I could see a practical need for keeping the history on the dead branch just in case we would want to see how something happened or when something changed. So I guess I have a few questions 1)Is there a way to see the history of a deleted branch ? (I know there is a way to see changesets from a merge. I've done this before) Or more generally I guess, 2)How should developers and TFS admins go about managing dead branches in tfs?
Any advice or direction would be most appreciated.

Configure TFS Features
After having upgraded from TFS 2010 to TFS 2012, we configured the work items to best suit our needs. After having done so we now require the use of the new TFS features such as Backlog, etc. Unfortunately after having tried to go through the manual upgrade process we are still getting the error below. Any help would be appreciated.

Moving source control with history from one project to another project in TFS 2012
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?

How to have one copy of a file show in multiple locations
Re: How to have one copy of a file show in multiple locations
Disclaimer, I am a TFS newbie. For a simple example, we have a scriptfile1 that is necessary for installing several extracts. Today we keep folders on the shared called Extract1, Extract2, etc. Each of these have the exact same copy of scriptfile1. So when you need to install an extract, you just go your extract folder and everything you need is there. We now want to move our Extract installs into TFS. But how can we have scriptfile1 in multiple folder structures (Extract1, Extract2, etc) but only have one copy of scriptfile1.? Does TFS provide some kind of file links?

Migrate A Single Workitem Type
Hi,
Is it possible to migrate a single workitem type to another team project.
Scenario: TFS team project has stock workitems: Bug, Requirements, Test Case, etc.
Is there a solution to migrate, say- just the Requirements workitem only and not the others?
I believe the TFS Integration Tools migrates all workitems (with limitations- of course). I'm just looking to do one.

Opinions on NUnit with MOQ frameworks in tandem with TFS
Hi guys
We're getting ready to implement some test driven development. We're running TFS 2013 and most of our developers have VS 2013 Pro (a few have Premium, but none run Ultimate). After some research into unit testing frameworks, I'm leaning toward NUnit as I understand it's well adopted so there should be plenty of documentation on it and is fairly intuitive to learn. However, I believe I've read if we want to use Team Build we need to use the MSTest framework. Is this true? If not, and I have the choice between NUnit and MSTest, which would you recommend and why?
Second question - I was looking at MSFakes for a mocking framework, but understand it's only available to VS 2013 Ultimate and VS 2012 Pro users which at our current licencing excludes all developers. For that reason, I'm leaning toward MOQ framework (though I've read RhinoMocks is also very good). If I use MOQ or RhinoMocks, does this affect my TFS Build options? If not, which mocking framework would you recommend and why?
Tks
Steven
