DateTime Picker getting wrong date format in TSWA and WIWA

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:10:02 Z

I have a standard DateTime Control defined in one of our Work Item Types that works fine from Team Explorer, but from TSWA or WIWA, the picker is setting the wrong format. It appears to be parsing the values twice.

My custom format value is dddd, MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm tt. What I expect to see and what I do see from Team Explorer is “Tuesday, Oct 20, 2009 01:42 PM”. What I see from TSWA or WIWA is “Pue5420ay, Ocp 20, 2009 01:32 pm”

It appears the picker is trying to do something with the ’T’ and ‘sd’ letters of Tuesday. And with the Month, it appears it is trying to do something with the letter ‘t’ in Oct. I have tried this with several of the days of week and the Months, and the ones that do not have “custom formatting” values don’t have any problems. Example: My custom format string has MMM, so the month of November is abbreviated to “Nov”. Any date in this month has no problem, unlike October in my example above. Additionally, the word Sunday will duplicate the problem because of the letter ‘d’.

Anybody know a fix/workaround?

TSWA - Date Time type does not validate input values

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:56:52 Z

I created a new field in TFS with the date time type.

TSWA does NOT validate the values entered to ensure they are numeric. The field is a freeform text field which allows a user to enter any date string (i.e. 11/16, 11-16, Nov 16). However, the field also allows the user to enter character data and accepts the string without a validation error. Is it possible to change the behavior of this field to only accept a numeric value and if a character value was entered, TSWA would issue a validation error?
Team Explorer does the data validation to ensure numeric values are entered.

Add work item custom fields to include on the default Team system web access search

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:37:50 Z

Hi,

Have anyone recently done the customization to have the team system web access default search featues to include custom work item fields. By default, it only pick up two default fields (Title and Description) and we like to extend it to include custom work item fields on the default search so that will be easy for the TFS users to have full variety of search. We knew we can go by work item syntax fields name to search for work item values but that is not the idea for us to type it and remenber everytime for the test fields name.

Please provide your guidance on custom the Team system web access search to include custom fields types.

Thanks,
taibo

TSWA 2008: Requested registry access is not allowed exception

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:48:37 Z

Whenever I try to access my Team System Web Access site I get redirected to a login screen that says "Requested registry access is not allowed" and prompts me to login to the Team Foundation Server. At the bottom of this message is what shows up in the error logs.

We are running Team System Web Access 2008 and Team Foundation Server 2008 on the same server. Team System Web Access is set to Impersonate.

If I add the account of the user accessing the Team System Web Access site to the local Administrator group on the server it works fine. How can I get this to work without adding all my users to the local Administrator group?

TSWA 2005 - Unable to see New Work Item button on home screen

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 21:03:20 Z

I have the following setup:

TFS 2005 Single-server installation
TFS running under domain service accounts (i.e. not local accounts)
TSWA 2005 hosted on separate web server
TSWA secured with SSL and Forms-based authentication

I have some local user accounts on the TFS server which I have added to the project\Contributors group. Thus, they should have ability to edit\create new work items. However, when I log in to TSWA with the local account (i.e. TFSServer\account), I can access the project, but do not get the "New Work Item" button on the home screen...only the New Query button.

On a different project, however, the same user account does get the new work item option on TSWA. I've checked all of the permissions multiple times, and everything is the same between the two projects. I've done IISRESET on both the web server and the TFS server. Same results.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kirk

Unable to view the contents of the Documents Tab in TSWA

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:57:14 Z

Is there a way to configure TSWA to point to the appropriate SharePoint server? We have a TFS 2008 instance which was initially using WSS for its Team Project site. Subsequently, we migrated to MOSS on a different server. All works well...we created several Team Projects since then and everything is still nice and tidy. However, it seems like the migration to the new server was not reflected for the TSWA component. Users are unable to access the content in the Document tab. They are not explicitly denied in TSWA. They all have access to the MOSS Team Project Site and are able to view documents from there. Our suspicion is the TSWA component is still pointing to the WSS server for the document content.

Save workitem doesn't work correct

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:02:38 Z

Hi all,

We are using TSWA 2005. Some users told me about an arduous failure which is not traceable for me. Perhaps one a week they have the following situation:

1.) Open an existing workitem on TSWA2005
2.) Write a simple text to a description field.
3.) Wait 2-3 minutes
3.) Add an attachment
4.) Save the WorkItem with the "save and close"-function. There's no error message but the text in step2 is not saved, the attachment is already done.

I think it's not a timeout problem, because the timeout is defined with 60 minutes.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot,
Christian

TFS Error - TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server.

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:38:06 Z

Hi All,

I am getting this above mentioned error TF31002, when i am trying to connect to my TFS sever using the Server Name "myTFS" . But strangly it seems to be connecting to the same server if i give the TFS server IP address, instead of TFS Server Name. This is confusing.

Could anyone let me know how to connect to TFS Sever using the Server Name itself.

Thanks,

TFS Auto generate mail for work items

Fri, 22 May 2009 02:16:45 Z

Hi,

Is there anyway TFS can send auto generation of mail with work items. Here is my problem:

1. I have a query which results all Bugs and this will be changed daily.
2. Currently i am doing it manually to send mail, with the search results.

Is there any way that TFS 2008 will run the query and send the Bugs results in email to the given Alias/EMail at the scheduled time (Usually i need it on daily basis)

I never configured or used TFS mail settings. Can anyone do the needful..

Thanks in Advance..

@today not working through TSWA as expected

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:44:35 Z

I had a user contact me today because one of the WI queries she hadwritten wasn't working when she accessed it through TSWA. The query was filtering via the @today macro, using a positive integer (+7). However, it didn't seem to pickup the items further ahead than the current date. A quick test in Team Explorer proved that the query was fine, just wasn't working in TSWA.

Anyone else experienced this?

When users browsed the Process Guidance on the local machine at the below link, they got "Access Denied" error. If the admin logged on to the TFS server, the site worked just fine.

Can you advice how can I solve the access issue, please?

Error when trying to access TSWA Admin

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:56:43 Z

I am setup as a timesheet administrator in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System Web Access\Web\Web.Config. But when I click on the Admin button on the menu bar I just receive a message (within the TSWA frame) which just says "displayName"

Are there any additional configuration steps that I need to complete to get the Admin component working?

WebAccess warm up

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 08:37:36 Z

Hello,
my question is:
Every day in the morning, the first access to TFS over WebAccess takes very long. 30 secounds or longer. If the first access is done, the site open after that very quickly.
Are there some options to warm up the App Pool are something like that, that the first access in the morning is faster?

TSWA 2008 SP1 - Work Item Store Exception

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:31:16 Z

We are getting frequent interruptions of TSWA due to the Work Item Store Exception. I know the limitations of TSWA but I am sure our user base it self is around 150Users with many of users accessing Work Items through Visual studio, rather than TSWA leaving a fraction of Business Analysts updating the WI through TSWA. We do have a moderate 900 Active Work Items in one of our Large project which I think is also a real low to hit the limits of TSWA. But still we are getting this every day.

I am trying to see what are the other possible things without inturrupting the user sessions we can avoid Work Item Store exception. I am sure there so many other using TSWA with much more larger activities. Currently we setup to recycle the App Pool at 5AM and 6:30PM every day. I saw sometimes, App pool touching the 2GB sometimes.

Thanks,
Ravi

Value does not fall within the expected range

We are running TSWA on TFS 2008. It has been working fine, but recently has started throwing a wierd "Value does not fall withing the expected range" error whenever anyone tries to log in. THis is not a particularly helpful message... i.e., what "value" is it referring to.

Any suggestions on where to look and/or how to fix this error?

Also, this just occurred. This time I got the following exception when attempting to access TSWA:

Can you add a TFS url link to an email body or in an html page so that users can go to TFS from a link. We send out reports with WI(s) it would be nice to have the ability to click on a link to take you directly to this Work Item.

TSWA 2005 on Port80?

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 05:31:52 Z

Hi all

I read some posts here which says that it's easy to change the tswa port from 8090 to 80. Is it working also with TFS 2005? If i read the new features from TFS 2008, then i see some changes for this issue in TFS2008.

TFS 2008 feature lists
- Enable use of Sharepoint on any server and any port
- Enable support for Reporting Services on any server and any port (new) (RTM)
- Non-default ports – We’ve gotten a bunch of feedback from enterprise customers about TFS’s limited support for alternate web sites and ports running afoul of data center policies.
- ...

Index was outside the bounds of the array

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:10:40 Z

I have created a WIT and it works fine in Visual studio however when i try to use it on TSWA i get the message

"Index was outside the bounds of the array."

A related post on this forum advises to delete the mnemonics like & however the default work items like risk.xml or task.xml say's that we shouldn't .
I delete them and retried but still i got the message "Index was outside the bounds of the array."
the same happened when i replaced &amp with &quot

How do i solve this ?"Index was outside the bounds of the array."

TSWA 2008 - Work Item detail errors out

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 19:27:20 Z

Hello all...

I've got a small problem on my upgrade to TFS 2008 using the Web Access piece.

The upgrade from TFS 2005 to TFS 2008 appears to be fine, the upgrade from WSS 2.0 to WSS 3.0 went fine, but the upgrade to TSWA 2.0 seems broken.

When I click on any work item from any Team Project and look for the detail pop-up... i get the following error in a yellow box.

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Controls, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I reserached this and found this assembly to be in the VS 2008 SDK... but I couldn't get this assembly to install on a Workstation that has VS 2008. I tried to install the SDK on the server but this errored out because VS 2008 is not on there (but TFS 2008 is).

I feel like I'm wasting my time with that solution so I thought I'd ask others for different solution...

maybe a real reference to the assembly I'm looking for. But any help would be taken.

Thanks in advance...

Start external application from TSWA or report

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 06:32:08 Z

Hi all

We use TFS2005 SP1 and work mostly with TSWA. Now i have the following situation:

For creating release notes, we export a tfs report as an xml with according workitems. In a second step we use an own small application which transforms this xml in an powerpoint file (corporate identity). i know with xsl we can transform the xml directly, but i don't know how it works if the target file have to be a ppt-file. Our workaround is okay, but now i search a way to start this application from tswa directly or even better from the report.

- Is it possible to create a button for starting an *.EXE on the TSWA interface or on a report?
- Other approaches to solve my problem?

Any ideas are welcome. Thanks a lot.

Christian

Does anyone has an idea?
Thanks in advance

Timeout settings for TSWA?

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 22:26:33 Z

Hi,

I have several users who have been experiencing disconnection problems after a few minutes of inactivity when working with TSWA.
I have reviewed the setting on the configuration file and it is set to "30" (I understand that is minutes), however in IIS the timeout setting for TSWA is set to 120 seconds, could that be the reason why this is happening? Are there any other places I should be checking for this? Are there suggested values to set the timeout to?
Thanks!

TSWA reverse proxy HTTPS "unsecure content" issue

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:44:03 Z

Hi,

We have TFS Web Access 2008 (SP1) published via reverse proxy and all works fine except for an unsecure content (non-HTTPS) warning when editing a Work Item.

This suggests that there is a fully qualified reference to a HTTP server / resource somewhere.

Any hints on how to resolve this?

Thanks,

Scott.

Making multiple attachments with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System Web Access

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 12:58:49 Z

Our QA group uses Team System Web Access for work items. Is there a way to configure the product to allow us to attach multiple files in one operation and then enter the file data? In the current configuration they can only attach one file at a time. Since most of our work items involve multiple attachments, the process of adding attachments to work items can be cumbersome.

TFS Web Access integration with Outlook?

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:29:56 Z

Is there a way to have TFS Web Access integrate with Outlook? Our QA group uses TSWA for work items. When we use the TSWA email feature, we are required to manually type in the email addresses.

Is it possible for TSWA to use Outlook for email?

Also, is there any way for TSWA to make an automatic entry on the History Tab when an email is sent?

TFS Web access from internet

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:13:04 Z

Hi,

We have installed Team System Web access and want the web version of TFS to be accessible from outside world so that business owners can log bugs and also track the progress of the project.

I am able to login to tfs from browser inside our LAN i.e. when I access http://<server_name>:8090/ URL (after entering http://<server_name>:8080/ in the login prompt that comes for TFS server name, username and password).

We have created external IP for http://<server_name>:8090/ as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:123, so that we are able to access TFS from internet. Basically, request first comes to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:123 (Linux server), which then redirects to http://<server_name>:8090/. I get the login prompt for TFS.

We also have another external IP for http://<server_name>:8080/ as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:456. I enter this external IP inside the login prompt, username and password. It says TF30063: You are unauthorized to access this <server_name>. "Page cannot be displayed" error comes when I use http://<server_name>:8080/ as TFS server name to login.

Can anyone help me to enable web access for TFS?

WIWA - custom controls?

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:27:24 Z

I have a project that is using custom controls via the Team Explorer and Team System Web Access - and it's working great. Has been for a 6 months now.

However, now they would like to use WIWA, and the custom control is failing to load. I've deployed it using the same method as TSWA, i.e., copy to the CustomControls directory.

Does WIWA support custom controls? I can't find anything definite.

Is a different deployment of the custom control library needed?

TIA
