Remove Project Server and TFS 2010 Integration/synchronization?

Question

Hi,

I recently did integration between TFS 2010 and Project Server 2010 and the functional results were indeed satisfactory. However, is there now a way I can remove the connector/feature pack all together and use PS and TFS independtly (Like fresh systems which have never heard of TFS-PS Integration feature pack)??

Thanks!

Hi Atul, in order to do that here are your steps:

- Run "tfsadmin projectserver /unmapplanfromteamproject ...." command for every mapped plan. You will need to pass "/force" to the command if there are existing workitems linked between the systems.

- Run "tfsadmin projectserver /unmpapwafromcollection ...." command for every mapped PWA.

Once you completed the two steps above there will be no sync job running anymore in your team project collection. Now if you also want to clear entries about what PWAs were registered in the TFS server you can run the command bleow.

- Run "tfsadmin projectserver /unregisterpwa ...."

At this point your system in clean. The next step you can take is go to your Project Server deployment and un-install the Feature Pack.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Federico,

Thanks a lot for the reply. I shall surely test it and get back if I hhave problems. One thing though i wanted to ask - Does this integration feature pack by any chance has impact on performance of project server, because my PWA is running way too slow and I am suspecting this maybe an issue.

Thanks anyways,

Atul

Hi Atul, just having the Feature Pack installed on Project Server has no performance impact. Now, if you map TFS collections to PWAs and map Team Projects to Plans in the PWA, the synchronization job will start to run in the TFS Server. This job by default runs every 30 seconds and makes call to our Project Server Extension web service (installed by the Feature Pack) on the Project Server box and runs queries to detect changes that need to be synchronized between the systems. In our testing we did not notice a significant performance impact on the Project Server side due to this.
