View History: "Error in the application"

Question

We updated from TFS 2012 Update 3 to TFS 2013 today. When I now try to view the history of a source control folder or file using the web interface I always get "Error in the application.". The history is shown and everything seems to work.

 TFS activity log shows that a command named "DiscussionThreadsBatch.PostGetThreads" fails with an "InvalidServiceVersionException".

Any ideas?

Hi,

I am a developer on the TFS team. I am sorry for the convenience that this have caused. This is a known issue and we are working on official fix for it. In the meantime, you can execute the following script in TFS collection databases to fix the problem. You don't need to take server/team project collections offline to run it.

IF EXISTS ( SELECT *
            FROM    sys.extended_properties
            WHERE   name = 'TFS_SERVICE_LEVEL'
                    AND value = 'Dev12.M53') 
   AND
   EXISTS ( SELECT *
            FROM    sys.extended_properties
            WHERE   name = 'TFS_DATABASE_TYPE'
                    AND value = 'Collection')
BEGIN
    EXEC prc_SetServiceVersion 'Discussion', 6
END

Thanks,

That worked. Thank you very much for the quick response.

We've also now released an updated installer with the fix so that new upgrades won't need to run the SQL Script: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/buckh/archive/2013/11/08/updated-team-foundation-server-2013-download-addressing-web-and-installation-path-issues.aspx.

Sorry for the trouble.
