• Angelms Beta 3 Refresh to RC -- reports don't work

  Hello, We performed the Beta 3 Refresh to RC upgrade yesterday. I followed the upgrade word doc religiously and it went fairly smoothly. Everything appears to fine post-upgrade with the exception of Reports . All reports load, but return errors when run. Here's an example from the Work Items by Owner report: An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Query execution failed for data set 'dsStateParam'.

With the official release of TFS, the State table and System_WorkItemType tables have been removed from TfsWarehouse. Where can I easily retrieve this reference data now I can make this work by using the following statement below to get the distintive St ...Show All

• rustintrans TF82001: MS Project can't connect to Team Foundation Server

  I have a weird issue. If I right click on a work item and click "open selection in MS Project" the selected work item appears in MS Project. BUT, if I save this file and then open it again I get the error: "TF82001: Cannot connect to the Team Foundation server. Please contact your server administrator." I'm going to reinstall the TFS client again to see if that resolves the issue. I'm Having the same error when try to get work items of a ...Show All

• Rajib Deleting old directories from source control (Beta 3)

  I am now playing with the TFS B3 source control and I am comfortable with it since it feels much like perforce, which I used a lot. Now, I deleted a team project through tfsdeleteproject.exe , but it left the root source control directory in the server. Its subdirectories are now marked with a dark gray folder with a red 'X' on it, and it can't be deleted in the source control explorer (the delete button is disabled). I tried using tf delete ...Show All

• Ashokag99 Isues: Non-standard port SQL2k5 default instance?

  I've moved my B3R DT from a standard Ent SQL2K5 RTM to Ent SQL2k5 RTM non-standard dynamic port. I also have Ent SQL2K on the same box. Hence connecting to default instance <<DTservername>> always connects to SQL2000. I then found out on Keith Richie's blog http://blogs.msdn.com/krichie/Default.aspx p=2  that I can connect using tcp:<<DTservername>>,port syntax. that seemed to work for WSS config db move on new se ...Show All

• Roy 12345 TFS Explorer default settings...

  Is there a way to alter the default radio button option when checking out from the first option (lock etc.) to the middle option (Check-out). Also, things like file associations... I want to open XML files with the viewer/editor specified in my Windows Explorer file association settings, not the built-in XML Editor. Is there a way to do this Also, I saved some Word documents as XML, but instead of opening with Word like it does from Win ...Show All

• beckd2 "Check In - Work Items" window number hours spent

  I think the "Check In - Work Items" window should have a column for number of hours spent on the files being checked in. Otherwise the flow is disrupted by the developer having to go into team explorer, find the work item and change the appropriate field. Why is it that when you double-click on a work item in the "Check In - Work Item" window that all the editable fields are greyed out THANKS!!! Glad to hear this was fixed. One ...Show All

• OpenBlue TypeNode.GetTypeNode(Type) sometimes throws object reference not set.

  I have a number of custom rules some of which use TypeNode.GetTypeNode(Type) in them. Before 1.35 Beta 1 I would sometimes get the object reference not set exception when I was trying to get a TypeNode for a type defined in one of my assemblies. I worked around this by getting rid of TypeNode.GetTypeNode(Type) in all of these cases. Now that I have 1.35 Beta 1, I am getting the exception on types from Microsoft assemblies. Specifically my rule c ...Show All

• egyptian_bean TFS Backup and cross-database issues

  Quick question here: Seeing as how TFS uses several databases (a boatload of them, actually :)), I was wondering if it is safe to backup them all just using SQL Server mantainance plans. In particular, I would like to know if there is a risk that during a backup operation, (a window which will be incrementally larger as the tfs databases grow) you might end with inconsistent data across the TFS databases due to operations being performed on th ...Show All

• dvidben Why can't I merge two branches deriving from the same parent

  Hi there: I've been playing around TFS a bit in order to evaluate its suitability for our environment. One thing I don't quite understand is why I'm not able to merge two branches that are both coming from the same parent. To make this more clear, let's say I have release version 1.0 of the product and am working on a minor 1.1 release on a branch, while putting all the stuff towards the 2.0 in the original (main) line. I also branched off 1.0 t ...Show All

• ati9200 DCR: Field level security

  I am sure this has already been covered in some past discussion somewhere, but just in case I want to add this thread so a person can search on "field level security" to find info about this request. The only thread I can find where the topic was touched on is titled "Let the submitter close the issue only". This is a design change request (DCR) to ask that in the next version or update of VSTS, that there be some way to add security on a per-fi ...Show All
