Is there integration of TFS 2008 source control with SQL Server 2008 Management Studio / Client tools for Database versioning???

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:00:49 Z

Hi,
I am using TFS 2008 (which uses SQL Server 2005 behind the scenes for storing source control files). I have installed the MSSCCI provider for TFS 2008. I have installed this to test the use of third party commerical product (Red Gate's SQL Compare) with TFS 2008 for database versioning. This product allowed me to do two things - 1. Script my database objects and store them (as scripts) in TFS source control 2. Script the changes done to database and update the scripts stored in TFS source control (in Step 1) .

I read in one blog that using MSSCCI provider for TFS 2008 and SQL Server 2008 Management Studio / Client tools, I could do same functionality or more. Is that correct? I don't see that integration when using MSSCCI provider for TFS 2008 with SQL Server 2005 client tools. Did I miss something?

Please advise. Reply soon.

Thanks,
Ravi

The application for project is not installed (project types .rptproj and .dwproj)

Wed, 08 Feb 2006 22:51:36 Z

It used to work, but then...

Visual Studio 2005 was hummin' and I had a number of BI projects in both Report Services and Analysis Services. I wanted to add source control and decided to install the Team Suite and I did something wrong. I just don't know what it was.

In the end, I deinstalled every Visual Studio 2005 (including, of course,the Team stuff)and SQL Server 2005 application, and reinstalled old faithful Visual Studio 2005, but nothing has worked. I'm missing the Business Intelligence project templates completely and I'm guessing that if I had them, I wouldn't get either of the following 2 messages when I try to open existing projects:

"The project application for 'c:\...\SOS.dwproj' is not installed. Make sure the application for the project type (dwproj) is installed."

"The project application for 'c:\...\SOS.rptproj' is not installed. Make sure the application for the project type (rptproj) is installed."

Anyone got any ideas?

Recurring Email from custom web service

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:40:06 Z

We created a custom Email web service for a TFS 2008 setup. It sends out an email notification on the WorkItemChanged event. As part of this custom code we have it set up so that with a web.config configuration change, the email notification can be canceled (for instance, with large bulk updates so that not too many emails are sent out, etc.). Also, it cancels the email if the updater is the same as the assignee.

However, I have noticed that in these cases where the email notification is short-circuited/canceled, then the system (somewhere) attempts to resend these emails again at a regular time interval. The problem is that when this happens it uses up resources and also can crash the App Pool where the web service is running at.

The time interval is set at 2 hours. I am aware that the Email server can be set to resend emails at a set time and for a set number of attempts. (I do not at this time have access to who runs/sets the Email server settings).

Also, a curious aspect of this is that this Web Service is supposed to respond to the WorkItemChanged event. We have a log as a part of this Web Service and it records the attempt to resend these emails, but the attempt to send is done without any new WorkItemChanged event.

Here are my questions/requests for help:

1 - So how/why is TFS triggering the WorkItemChanged event without an actual change to any WI?
2 - Is there another event that TFS administers separately for Emails?
3 - Does TFS have to rely on the Email settings of it's parent domain?
4 - Is it possible to have separate email settings for TFS that override whatever is made by the parent domain admins?
5 - Is there a way to cancel an attempted Email without triggering any follow-on attempts?

Thanks.

PDB files and XML documentation files in TFS Build Output

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:12:31 Z

Hi All

I have a Build Type, which Builds in the Release Mode. The build out put has PDB files and XML documentation files as well, along with the dlls and exe.

Is this normal ? What I thought that the output should have only the required dlls and the exe and configuration files, if any.

I have the following code added to the Build Type:

    <ConfigurationToBuild Include="Release|Any CPU">
        <FlavorToBuild>Release</FlavorToBuild>
        <PlatformToBuild>Any CPU</PlatformToBuild>
    </ConfigurationToBuild>

Am I missing something ?

Thanks

TFS 2008 Root Report Folder Move

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:51:07 Z

Hi,

We use TFS 2008 for our source control/work item tracking and so on. This is configured to use our only SSRS instance in our environment. The problem is that TFS creates each project reporting folder in the root. We have more than 200 projects making it a tough task finding other (not TFS related) report folders. Is it possible to move the reports to sub folder? Rather than /ProjectA, /ProjectB, etc... to /TFS/ProjectA, /TFS/ProjectB, etc...

Will renaming Domain give issues with TFS?

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:46:05 Z

We have just merged with another companie, now the question came up about renaming our Windows 2008 R2 Domain. Has anyone had any experience with that in combination with TFS Server 2008? My biggest worries is that it might screw everything up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Changesets from Merges...

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:25:41 Z

We have 3 branches of code... Dev, Main, & Releases. Dev is for development, Main is the latest stable version, and Releases is for bug fixes to the last released version. When a bug fix that is done in Releases passes QA it is merged up to Main, and then merged from Main to Dev. When merging from Main to Dev it is easy to see what changeset needs to be merged up because it is the only one there and it has the current date. We recently completed work on everything in Dev and were releasing a new version so we merged everything from Dev down into Main and checked in any resolved conflicts. It appears that in doing this however that a changeset was created and it contains EVERY file that was merged down into Main. Most of the files Change says Merge, Branch, and a few say Merge, Edit. Now when a bug fix has beeen merged into Main from Releases and I want to merge the changeset from Main up to Dev I'm seeing 2 changesets to choose from, the one I need to merge up, and the one that was created from the last Release containing EVERY file. Its confusing having this extra changeset here because we're used to interpreting any changesets available for merging from Main to Dev as being bug fixes that need to go up to Dev. Yet here's this one that was created from merging Dev down into Main. I suppose I could merge it back to Dev now but that may create ANOTHER changeset that ultimately would get merged back down to Main when the next release is ready. I guess I'm confused why there is a changeset for merged files. It makes it seem like there is some difference to merge when there is not. My goal is to just have a nice clean list of changesets when I am seeing what needs to be merged up to Dev from Main. Any advice\insight?

TFS Power Toys Shell Integration: Automatically check out files on edit

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:14:25 Z

Hi,

we are planning to use TFS at our company for other IDEs than Visual Studio and use the TFS Power Toys Shell Integration for Source Control with TFS.

But we would really need the feature, that a file is automatically checked out for edit whenever any application changes that file. Is this somehow possible? This is really critical to us.

I would be very grateful for any suggestions!

How to Handle Server Resource Limits

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:57:47 Z

Hello,

We have recently run into some very slow response times with our TFS setup (several minutes for WI saves, several seconds to open a WI). A brief description of how it is setup:

1 - TFS 2008 dual-server deployment (no proxies, SQL DB all on one server, etc.)
2 - Servers = Windows 2008 32-bit (max RAM addressed about 3.5 GB)
3 - Approximately 100 assigned users, at least 5 or more continuously accessing

One thing I've noticed is that when viewing the resource usage on both the Web and DB Tiers that we are apparently at the maximum RAM usage. Both servers are at or above 3.5 GB and are clearly using the Paging files. Another thing is the VersionControl cache folder - it is approximately 60 GB. I queried the Cache usage and results are below:

CurrentCacheSize="64590159872"
NoOfRequests="6623027"
OverallCacheHits="6416399"
NoOfFilesInCache="206427"
OverallCacheMisses="206628"
CacheHitsPercentage="96.88"
CacheMissPercentage="3.12"

We did not install TFS on a 64-bit OS because we had read elsewhere that there were numerous issues associated with this. Up till now whenever we have performance issues the only action that seems to help, for a while, is a complete reboot of both servers. This is obviously painful as it requires prior notification and coordination so as not to interfere with work.

Also, I notice that on the Web Tier there are several (4-5) "w3wp.exe" process running under IIS, all with several hundred MB of RAM used. Is this normal? How many separate IIS threads will TFS run (does it depend on how many App Pools you have your Web Services running under)?

So, are there any Tuning suggestions? Also, does this perfomance issue have anything to do with the size of the Version Control cache (60GB)? What are the effects of deleting the files below the "~/data" file path? Are there any other things we can do to deal with poor performance?

Add Users from Multiple Active Directory/Domains?

TFS 2008 Creating a Team Project - what is the URL? Where are the credentials?

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:11:19 Z

I'm totally lost with TFS. I have TFS 2008 running on a VMWARE slice with all local users (SQL 2005 and Sharepoint and Reporting). I can login to the sharepoint portal on port 80. However, I can't create a Team project from my local client. It asks for the server name and port and I what ever I give it it says It can't connect

TF310012 Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server: tfs.
Team Foundation Server Url: http://tfs:80

Possible reason
....
Password expired or incorrect

My questions:
* How do I find the right URL for my team foundation server. Is it the SharePoint portal that I connect to or a different port. If a different prt/protocol, how do I find out which one?
* How can a password be expired, if I did not give it any authentication credentials? All users on the server are local and not any domain users as I don't have control over our network domain. I'm a developer not a network admin.

Thanks for any pointers

Post TFS 2010 Installation Tasks

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:37:28 Z

I just installed TFS 2010 Beta 2 at a client and I am looking for some post installation instructions regarding Security. Questions like what is the best practice in adding users to the WSS 3.0 site, what users/groups do I add to SSRS, or do I even need to add users to SSRS?

The reason behind my quest is that I saw to dreaded RED X on the "Documents" folder on one of the client machines that I set up. Obviously this is a permissions issue and I wanted to make sure that the developers get the right permissions so that they can do their jobs.

I have searched the net but everything that I have found deals with just the install; but not with the POST install and what best practices I should follow. Do I just need to add users or groups to TFS and not have to worry about WSS and SSRS?

I appreciate any thoughts, thank you

Managing inter-product component dependencies and checking binaries into TFS

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:35:48 Z

I have been wondering of late about the viability of checking binaries into TFS. I work for a company which produces a number of different products which share large chunks of code. Over the years we have tried a number of different strategies for managing the shared nature of our code base from isolated component builds producing SDK MSIs using WIX right up to multiple development branches sharing component source code via integration branches.

Whilst each of these solutions has had their own individual pros and cons it has recently occurred to me that TFS workspaces and checked in binaries could go a long way towards simplifying much of the complexity currently inherent in our teams sharing source.

I have read the various branching guidance documents on Codeplex and found them helpful but frustratingly lacking in examples when it comes to managing multiple products simultaneously which share a common set of components. The developer in me tells me encapsulation is a good thing and that a build per component is an elegant way of parcelling up the build effort and freeing products from compiling dependencies managed outside the product, that's the easy bit ;) The harder part seems to be working out how best to share these dependencies between products.

I am currently contemplating getting our component builds to check in their output and switching developers to using workspaces to control where and when products pick up dependencies. However I am unaware of any best practice documentation with respect to storing build output (.dll, .pdb, .wixlib, .msi) in TFS. My fear is that the initial implementation would be fairly trivial however over time the size of the TFS database would increase to such an extent that TFS performance would be affected? I was wondering if anyone has any experience of using TFS in this manner? or has any recommendations with respect the sanity of this approach? Any advice/thoughts/musings would be much appreciated.

Areas and Iterations is missing in projects context menu

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:24:19 Z

hi
I'm working with VSTS and in Team Explorer I want to set some permissions on Work Items and Iterations. In MSDN it's said that you have to right click on the project and select Areas and Iterations and then do this and then do that. But I don't see Areas and Iterations on the project's context menu. What is wrong?

SQL DDL Scripts and Visual Studio 2008

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:34:24 Z

Hello,

Looking for a best practice. I've got a large VS2008 solution, website, class libraries, etc. I consider the SQL scripts (DDL) to generate the tables and other SQL objects part of this solution.

Where should these scritps go in the solution? I looked into a SQL Server Project, but that provides for SQL-CLR logic, not really what I'm looking for.

I think they should be in the VS2008 solution for two reasons:

1) They are part of the logic of the application.
2) They need to be included within source control, in this case TFS.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Deleting Work Item Templates from TFS (2005)

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:59:30 Z

Hope someone can help - I'm fairly new to the world of TFS and have inherited some responsibility for running it.

We've got several projects set up on TFS and my predecessor created a new project on the server but forgot to update the work item templates for Bugs to include some custom fields we use.

To sort this out I had a bit of a dig about and found the TFS Power Tools and used witexport to create a file containing the definition of the template from an existing project, and then to test it out I renamed the template "Bug Test" and then used witimport to import the file into the new project to check it worked OK.

As all was fine I then renamed the template back to "bug" and imported it, correctly overwriting the default bug template.

However this leaves me with my "bug test" template, and I can't find any way of deleting this.

The Work Item Templates menu item created by the Power Tools gives me a window that I guess should show me the templates but it is only showing me local templates, and as far as I can see the templates i've imported using this tool are held centrally (as other users see them and I've checked in the file system path and no template files are found).

Any help gratefully received!

TFS Report Server problems

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:40:25 Z

Hello,

A few months ago, we changed our TFS setup from a single server setup with the application tier and data tier on the same server to a dual server model. We moved the TFS databases to a separate database server that was better suited for the load from TFS. I followed the published procedures for separating the data tier off onto another server and everything seemed to work without any problems.

Fast forward a few months and the developers have started trying to create new projects. The process gets almost all the way through but then errors out. I have looked through the logs and found what I believe is the problem:

Exception Message: An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. ---> An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. ---> The server principal "<DOMAINNAME>\TROY$" is not able to access the database "ReportserverTempDB" under the current security context.

At first glance, it appears that it's a simple matter of not having the permissions set up correctly. However, I believe that this has something to do with our database names. When I migrated the databases, I move the reporting server databases over to the new database server. Since we already had an instance of SSRS running on that server, I had to rename the databases to TFS_ReportServer and TFS_ReportsServerTempDB. I left the SSRS running on the TFS server (the application tier server) and pointed it to the database on the new database server. So when I read that error message, I see that TFS is trying to access ReportServerTempDB and not TFS_ReportServerTempDB.

Is there any way to get TFS pointed to the correct temp DB? Is there another way that I should have done this? Thanks for any help that anybody can give.

Regards,
John

Cannot find User name in "Assigned to" field

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:25:38 Z

Hi experts,

I have a problem with a user. This user left the company and his user account has been disabled.

We have two TFS. In one TFS i still could see the user in "Assigned To" field. I could modify his work items and so on.

Unfortunately in the second TFS, i cannot see the user in "Assigned To" field. I cannot edit his work items too.

I could give rights to the user in both servers, but user has a red cross representing the disabling of this account.

I checked both database and could see the user with same SID.

I forced TFS synchronization and also did restart of the server. Doesn't help.

Any ideas?

Cannot create project in TFS2008; TF30267 [SOLVED!!]

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:12:04 Z

Hi.

First off, I'm completely new at administering TFS, SharePoint, etc. I have searched through the forum, but I cannot find the answer to this problem. I assume I must have missed something, but as far as I can tell, I have followed all the items on the installation checklists.

On our Team Foundation Server, I have installed SQL Server 2005 and SP1, Team Explorer 2008, TFS 2008 and SP1 and VS2008SP1 to get TE2008 SP1. I have also installed the October 2008 Power Tools, and then re-installed TFS2008 SP1, as per instructions found elsewhere on the forums.

I found this thread (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfssetup/thread/054706cf-de9d-4f4b-a16b-238beeafac9b), but it doesn't solve the problem. I thought the comment here:
The log indicates there are some issue related to SharePoint. If you run TfsAdminUtil ConfigureConnections, there will be SharePointUri, SharePointSitesUri, and SharePointAdminUri disaplayed. Would you please check if you can browse those 3 Uri with the account you used to connect TFS?

looks promising, as I cannot navigate to SharePointSitesUri; I get a 404 error. I have a VSTS2008SP1 Virtual PC image, which I fired up, and it also gives a 404 when navigating to "/Sites", so I don't know what to think about this....

I get the same error using TE2008 from our Team Build Server or on the TFS server itself, as well as from the command-line power-tools tool on the TFS server.

Below is the log file from the power tool creation attempt.

Cheers,
Dave

Question about TFS 2010 setup for small teams

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:11:28 Z

Good morning,

I am interested in setting up the beta of TFS 2010. We've been licensed for TFS for a while through MSDN, but haven't used it in part because of the complexity of setup. We're a small team; 4 developers at the moment.

In reviewing the setup instructions, I noticed a section titled "Installing Team Foundation Server for Small Teams". Under this setup type, there is a note that "You cannot configure reporting or a team project portal if you use the basic configuration." Can someone please give me some detail on what that means? We would not likely use any sophisticated reporting features, but we do need to be able to pull lists of work item assignments, outstanding bugs, etc. Is that still possible?

Basically, I'm having trouble understanding what the reporting service is used for.

Thanks!

Sharepoint project portal and central administration are down

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:27:23 Z

We got a seriose problem- Sharepoint applications just refuses to run.All Sharepoint-related features are not accessible : neither project portal nor central administration. Althrough services are running and websites too, everytime we try to access some project portal we got 404 and admininstration (even from TFS server itself) - 503 server error.
It is a single-server TFS2005 installation on Win2003. On every administrative site access try ASP.Net writes the following warning entry:

We already tried to ajust CAS of all possible code groups to Full_Trust, verify that pool identity (tfsservice) has "Allow login locally" permission and even set him as local administrator!
The most annoying thing is that the whole issue begun after planned sever reboot (previose uptime was veeeeery long), so it is imposible to tell what change caused this problem. Is it possible that CAS of Sharepoint assemblies spontaniosely changed so it need to be fixed?

Any help will be appreciated.

Best regards,
Michael

One Team Project having multiple sub projects

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:27:48 Z

I am trying to understand the methodology/architecture for TFS. We setup a Team Project, configured users, portal ect. Now we want to add the current 3 work efforts (really projects) that are currently going on for our team (two small and one large). They are also occurring simultaneously. We do not want to have 3 Team projects for each effort. Each effort needs to follow full SDLC process. We would like to have something like "Sub Projects" so everything is under that same portal site so they can be managed centrally, with rights, etc... We also will continuously get additional efforts added as time goes on. We do not want to create a new Team Project everytime we receive a new request. Right now I am defining a work effort as an Interation. Is this correct or am I missing something?

How can Change Management be implemented in TFS?

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:38:48 Z

Hello,

Did anyone here implement Change Management in TFS? We want to use TFS for source control, adding projects etc. but also for Change Management. I saw that there is a possibility to choose a work item as 'change request'. Is that on project level? We want to implement our own software with projects under it. The change requests we want to use are on the level of the total software. For Change Management we also want to make an Impact Analysis and more. How did you implement this in TFS? Or is it easier to keep this in SharePoint?

Alerts are not being sent in TFS 2010

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Change Management

Fri, 29 May 2009 17:40:32 Z

I have no knowledge of the features of VSTS, not even what it looks like, but my client wants me to look into the possibility of extending VSTS' Change control or management function beyond just code/application changes to IT change management. My actual project is to migrate a Change Management solution from Lotus Notes. My options are Remedy, a Sharepoint application, or VSTS?

Can anyone tell me whether using VSTS that way is possible or practical within a limited budget and where would I begin to search for related information?

Thanks,

Workflow in TFS project portal

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:50:02 Z

Hi,

I have created a new list in the TFS 2008 project portal. But I dont see any options to enable workflow in that list. Is the out of box workflows not supported by TFS?

Thanks

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 20:29:14 Z

I am looking for training opportunities for Team Foundation Server that will result is some sort of grade or certification. I have found many courses that result in a certificate of course completion but none that offer a grade or completion exam. Due to my companies policy they will only reimburse training courses if they result is some type of grade or certification.

Any thoughts?

How to get list of all documents attached to all tasks?

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:40:47 Z

Hi,

My manager has asked me to get list of all the documents that I have uploaded to TFS tasks. I uploaded these documents to each release management task. The one way I know is to open each task and download the document.

This is combersome as there are almost 300 tasks. Is there a way to get all the documents downloaded in just one click?

I hope these documents might have stored somewhere in the folder or sharepoint... Can I get it from there?

Regards,

Leveling problem in MS Project integrated with TFS

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:20:18 Z

I faced to the following problem trying to use MS Project 2007 with TFS 2008.
I created an empty team project and then an empty project plan in MS Project.
First I filled the project plan with a small set of tasks.
Then I connected the plan to TFS team project and publish the plan (I had to set the type of the plan items).
After that, I created a summary item in the plan for a subset of existing items.

At this moment I noticed that some MS Project features work incorrectly:
- Leveling stops working
- Attempt to create another summary item resulted in wrong start/end dates for this new summary.

Note that in the same scenario without connecting to the TFS team project everything works OK.

Had anyone a similar experience?
What could be a root of the problem?

Thanks,

"SOAP endpoint" errors when trying to use the TFS commandline tools

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:27:31 Z

I am evaluating TFS/linux compatability, using a evaluation copy of TFS we have installed (and it seems to be working with our windows tools). I have downloaded the linux commandline tools and obtained a temporary license. I can hit the TFS web interface with my linux browser, everything seems OK. But as I follow the documentation on using the 'tf' utility, I run into this cryptic error:

thiazole:TeampriseCLC-3.3.0.11578R> tf workspaces -profile:sheldonw@tfs01 workspaces
An error occurred: The SOAP endpoint http://mobwdvum2sd:8090/Services/v1.0/Registration.asmx could not be contacted. HTTP status: 405
thiazole:TeampriseCLC-3.3.0.11578R>

Since http://mobwdvum2sd:8090 is the URL of the web interface, that's the 'serverUrl' value I assigned when creating my user profile .
Is there something missing step, or some configuration option needed on our TFS server?

Thanks in advance!
