tfs2010

I have some TFS 2010 build definitions that were created under ProjectX. Now the source code has moved to a folder subordinate to ProjectY. How can I move the build definitions to ProjectY so they display under the Builds node of the Team Explorer for ProjectY? I don't think there is something out of the box to copy the build definitions from one project to another. However you should be able to do it using the TFS API. You will want to move the build process templates, which is what Pete is referring to, into the Build Process Template folder for the new project. After that you would do

I am using the TFS PowerTools Cmdlets in PowerShell to try to get at some information about Changesets and related WorkItems from my server. I have boiled the problem down to behavior I don't understand and I am hoping it is not TFS specific (so someone out there might be able to explain the problem to me :) ) Here's the only command that I can get to work: Get-TfsItemHistory C:\myDir -recurse -stopafter 5 | % { Write-Host $_.WorkItems[0]["Title"] } It does what I expect - Get-TfsItemHistory returns a list of 5 ChangeSets, and it pipes those to a foreach that prints out the Title of the first

I was wondering if someone could tell me what area/iteration in Team Foundation Server WorkItems is and how it should be used with projects? Is it as simple as: Area = Project Collection? Iteration = Version Number? I can't seem to find much information on what these are and what they are used for? The short answer is that the area classification is the logical division of your product or project, and the iteration classification is its chronological breakdown into releases and development iterations. The area path describes the logical part of the system that your work item relates to, e. g.,

I have a Team Project created with the "Standard" branch pattern from the ALM Rangers' Branching guidance: After creating it, I found that I only really needed the "Basic" pattern. That is, I don't need the "Service Pack" branch. Is there a way for me to remove the "Service Pack" branch and "heal" the hierarchy so that "Release" is under "Main" in the hierarchy? Right now, every changeset in the "Service Pack" hierarchy has a corresponding changeset in the "Release" hierarchy, as "Service Pack" has just been in the way. The simplest solution is to not remove or reparent. The service pack

I was very excited to hear TFS 2012 made a step towards distributed source control in allowing source code to be modified (without major issues) when TFS is offline. I currently use a hosted TFS service, so im hopeful the migration to TFS2012 should be painless. At least for me anyway. So my question is simple, is there such a thing as TFS2012 powertools for VS2010 or is TFS2012 only available for VS2012? Appreciate your comments. Jim Lamb You can connect to TFS 2012 from VS 2010, but you'll need the compatibility GDR . Local workspaces (which support the improved off-line experience you

I have TFS 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and the April TFS 2010 Power Tools installed. I am a Project Collection Administrator on my TFS Server (so permissions should not be an issue). I want to open the alerts explorer, but when I right click on a project tab it is not there: Just in case I tried upgrading to the March version of the TFS 2010 Power Tools. There was no change. Opening the "Project Alerts" just gets me the normal Alerts dialog. I need to make a new alert. Any ideas how I can get the missing menu item back? Edit: I tried manually adding the menu item to the context menu.

I've been trying to solve this problem for about a week now. I posted this question on Microsoft website and only received one reply, which did not solve my issue. The following is a combination of my posts on Microsoft website. I installed and configured TFS 2010 on Window 7 PC 64-bit. When I navigate to http://localhost:8080/tfs in my browser, I get Service Unavailable – HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable. Any help to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Based on previous reading, I have done much work to figure this out. Following are the steps I have gone through to

I'm currently evaluating TFS 2010 for use in our development team as the source control solution instead of Git. We're a Microsoft shop, dipping our fingers into Sharepoint and Project Server anyway so it would be nice to have it all running in one platform. My problem starts with this... In Git, we have a development model that sees our Company's OWN re-usable code-base stored in a separate repository. Each client solution also has its own repository and a sub-module (extern for SVN-junkies) linking it to our common library. In order to allow for developers to add functionality to our common
