Hello,
I am facing some problem with Test Attachment Cleaner, Our production database of TFS started growing really big. To check the test attachment cleaner, i created similar environment in our testlab.
We have TFS 2013 Update 2 App Tier, The databas tier is SQL Server 2012 Enterprise. On my client machine, i have Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 installed. I installed the Team Foundation Server Administration kit on tried to run the TAC. It connects to the
project, calculates the test attachments size. In Clean Test Attachment Section, I select the Configfile and click Start Clean, however even after running the script, when i test the test attachments via Microsoft Tet Manager, I do not see that the files are
deleted. I check the database size, however it does not show me any reduction in database size as well, I wrote another config file still it did not work, Here is the config file which i made for the TAC Configfile
<DeletionCriteria>
<TestRun>
<AgeInDays OlderThan="30" NewerThan="999" />
</TestRun>
<Attachment>
<Extensions>
<Include value="trx" />
<Include value="cov" />
</Extensions>
</Attachment>
<LinkedBugs />
</DeletionCriteria>
I cannot see any size reduction in the database size. I have tried with over ride settings as well however nothing happens.
I have searched Microsoft Forums but unfortunately there isn't enough help regarding this. Can anyone help ? how can i find out if test attachments are really deleted ? and if they are not being deleted, what can cause this ?
Regards
Faisal
