TFS2012 SSIS 2008

Question

I have not found any posts on this maybe because TFS 2012 is so new. I read articles that TFS2010 could be compatible with SSIS 2008 with a SP and a update to TFS.

Is TFS 2012 also compatible with SSIS 2008?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi Shahrouz,

Thank you for your post.

According to your description of the issue, hope you can provide following information to help narrow down the issue:
Do you want to use VS connect with TFS 2012, then to develop SSIS? If not, would you please let us know what kind of use with SSIS integration?

If you want to do SSIS development with TFS 2012 and VS environment, you may need to install corresponding tesm explorer and SPP. Take VS 2008 for example, i installed following things, then in BIDS i can cannect with TFS 2012.
Team explorer 2008 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16338
VS 2008 SP1 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10986
VS90SP1-KB2673642-x86.exe http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=29983

Answer 3

Thanks for answering, unfortunately I am still having the issue.

I am on a windows 7 enterprise 64 bit machine. What is happening is when I try and install the Visual Studio SP1 install it runs and finishes ,properly. However when I open my Visual Studio 2008 Business Intelligence Studio it does not show I am on SP1. I know the installation is not installiung correctly because every time I re-open the installer it installs fresh as if it is not installed on the machine.

When I try and install VS90SP1-KB2673642-x86.exe it does not allow me saying none of the items adresses here are installed on the machine.

Yes, what I am trying to do is to be able to use the Visual Studio 2008 Business Studio with TFS 2012. Inside of our Visual Studio 2008 it does not have the "team" option.

Thanks

Hi Shahrouz,

For VS 2008, if you apply SP1 successfully, there is no SP1 words show in the version information. Please check VS 2008 SP1 and KB installed information for following two ways.

1. Please open control panel to check the installed updates about VS 2008. If you install the VS 2008 SP1 and VS90SP1-KB2673642-x86.exe properly, you can see two updates for VS 2008.
Update KB945140 is VS 2008 SP1.
Update KB2673642 is VS90SP1-KB2673642-x86.exe.

2. Please open BIDS or VS 2008, click Help, if the VS version is 9.0.30729.4462, it means VS 2008 SP1 is applied. And, you can see KB945140 in installed products window.

An important information for you to refer, please install team explorer 2008 first, else, you may not install the SP1 and VS90SP1-KB2673642-x86.exe successfully.

If you still cannot apply the thing successfully, please poet the information you see in Step 1 and 2.

Answer 5

Thanks. I did not have Team Explorer 2008 installed. I installed that and then I was able to apply the hotfix. I opened up SSIS and I tried to add the project to source control however now it tells me that the server is inaccessible.

I tried simply typing the name of the server as well as the full url and both gave me this message below. This is the same server I am using in VS2012 for TFS. I verified the url is accessible from my computer. Do I need to install anything on the server?

Please note in the image below the error message comes from VS2008 Business Studio while the above TFS image comes from VS2012 which is successful.

Answer 6

Hi Shahrouz,

Do you install both of following things?
VS 2008 SP1 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10986
VS90SP1-KB2673642-x86.exe http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=29983

Answer 9

Hi Shahrouz,

Seems you do not apply VS90SP1-KB2673642-x86.exe http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=29983 successfully.

Answer 10

I have installed that same update update multiple times without error message., I just did again. IF it actually not installing correctly then that is another issue. Can I post any logs or messages to help debug this issue?

Please note I am installing this on my client machine, not on the actual TFS Server. Do I need to do anything on the actual TFS 2012 Server?

Answer 11

Hi Shahrouz,

Can you show us the windows update of VS 2008 team explorer? Do it can KB2673642?

Answer 12

Answer 13

IT seems to isntall correctly, no issues. However it does not show in my control panel. Please advise?

Answer 14

Hi Shahrouz,

I am unsure about the issue too. For this forum is for TFS, i suggest you first go to Visual Studio Setup and Installation forum to solve the problem why your system cannot apply KB2673642. I think if your system can apply this KB, you can connect to TFS 2012 properly.

Answer 15

Figured it out upon reading this article..

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1925512/visual-studio-2008-cant-connect-to-known-good-tfs-2010

It seems when connecting to TFS from within SISS you have to specify the Project Collection in the url as well and not just the server. I was unaware of that. Once I did that I was able to connect.
