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 my workstation with VS 2012 and 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
