Answer 1

Hi Ajay,

If the Gated build is unsuccessful then you will find the option for Unshelving (against which it’s being checked-in) on the build report itself. In the following picture, you see the option that are presented for Rejected Build via Gated Check-in.

If the build is successful then you will see the changeset number against which Gated Check-in was performed at the bottom of the Build Log file. See the image below for an example…

If you want to unshelve somebody else’s changes that was rejected by Gated Check-ins then you can simply go to… View >>> Other Windows >>> Pending Changes. Now in Pending Changes window, you will see button for unshelve that you can use to show you necessary dialog box. There, you will have to provide user name information for the person who tried committing failed build.

I hope this will be useful and it solves your issue.

Hi Dharmesh shah,

Thank's for your replay

After Build completion of Gated checking i want to send notification email where i need add this changset and shelveset name.

At run time

 foreach (IChangesetSummary changeset in InformationNodeConverters.GetAssociatedChangesets(buildDetail))
{
int chid = changeset.ChangesetId;
string strcomment = changeset.Comment;
string shelvesetname = buildDetail.ShelvesetName;
}

i want to pull the change set but i am unable to get the changeset in this.

Please help me how to get changeset at runtime.

Thank you

This is how we do it in PowerShell:

$gatedCheckin = [Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.InformationNodeConverters]::GetActivityTrackingNodes(<IBuildDetail>) | where { $_.ActivityType -eq "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Workflow.Activities.CheckInGatedChanges" }
$changesetId = $gatedCheckin.Node.Children.GetNodesByType("CheckInOutcome")[0].Fields["ChangesetId"]
