Currently my On-premise company is using Team Foundation Server (TFS), it is doing multiple things like work tracking and build.
We brought Bitbucket to separate code repository, we still want to continue using TFS for work tracking. We are looking for any (opensource project examples) connectors or integrators or plugins somewhat similar to connect between Bitbucket & TFS . If there is any opensource project examples to connect these somewhat similar will try to tweak it.
Azure Pipelines, Azure DevOps Server, and TFS integrate with a number of version control systems. When you use any of these version control systems, you can configure a pipeline to build, test, and deploy your application. Please check Supported source repositories of Azure DevOps Server/TFS.
Bitbucket Cloud repository type is supported in Azure Pipelines, but not in on-premise Azure DevOps Server/TFS. As a workaround, you can use the Other Git or External Git repository type in on-premise Azure DevOps Server/TFS, to build repositories in Bitbucket.

I have a Git repository on the Azure Dev-ops server and use Jenkins for continuous integration build.
I want to know that how a specific branch like master Jenkins can automatically run the build and then notify the user via a shell log that the build was successful or not?
Microsoft seems to have the thing pretty well documented, Create a service hook for Azure DevOps Services and TFS with Jenkins
Set up the Jenkins job, set up the TFS / Azure DrevOps ServiceHook, off to the races.
We have it working fine for Jenkins 2.x and AzureDevOps on-prem. Best to use service accounts with limited necessary permissions on both sides.
I am looking for how to publish a Jenkins build output to Azure Dev Ops for the purpose of deployment.
All of our code is on TFS 2015 and the build definitions are in Jenkins.
We will be migrating to Azure Dev ops completely, but for now I just want to manage the deployment through Dev Ops. I will script the agent on each of the hosts and move the files to their correct locations.
Looking at the Azure Cli - there Publish Pipeline Artifacts
I can't use a service connection to Jenkins because the server is behind a firewall. I need to be able to publish from Jenkins to Azure Dev Ops.
Any creative ways to do this?
for example, you could create a nuget package (or any other package) from jenkins build and push it to the artifacts feed you create in azure devops. Next is to create a release pipeline with a trigger for Azure Artifacts (with enabled continuous integration trigger) for the latest package version.
here is an example on how to publish nuget packages from jenkins.
EDIT
be aware of the size limitations of Azure Artifacts. As per today, only 2 GB are free of charge.
My current organization is having an requirement to migrate source code + history linkages from vendor TFS 2015 which is at remote site to our Azure Devops(Repos). The challenge I am having is that since source TFS is in remote site and not connected by our AD, could not find a way to link it. Currently we are using explict logins to their tfs and getting the code. Is there any possible way to migrate the same and do the synching daily, for few months and unplug the dependency on remote.
Any help would be much appreciated..
Not sure the Azure DevOps(Repos) you mentioned are Azure DevOps Service (prior VSTS) or Azure DevOps Server 2019(prior TFS) In your case, seems you just want to perform a source code synchronization between TFS2015 to Azure DevOps service or Azure DevOps server.
For Azure DevOps Service : When you decide to make the move from Azure DevOps Server to Azure DevOps Services, there are many approaches to doing this which vary in both the fidelity of the data transfer and the complexity of the process.
Option 1: Copy the most important assets manually
Option 2: High fidelity database migration
Option 3: Using public API-based tools for higher fidelity migration
Only the option2 will include source control history during the migration. But it also have some limitation, such as import tool supported version. Currently only the following versions of Azure DevOps Server are supported for import:
Azure DevOps Server 2019 and Azure DevOps Server 2019.0.1
In your scenario, you could use a CI build in TFS2015 to sync the Azure DevOps repo automatically. And the biggest challenge here is the authentication for both TFS and Azure DevOps Service. Just as you mentioned using explicit logins and powershell script should do the work.
A sample for your reference:
1. Create a CI build in TFS 2015
In your TFS 2015 project where the git repo hosted -> create a build definition with the TFS 2015 git repo as repository -> enable CI with all branches included.
2. Add a PowerShell task to sync TFS2015 git repo to Azure DevOps Service Add a PowerShell task in the build definition with below script:
if ( $(git remote) -contains 'vsts' )
{
git remote rm vsts 2>&1|Write-Host
echo 'VSTS Account removed'
}
git remote add vsts https://Personal%20Access%20Token:{PAT}#{account}.visualstudio.com/{project}/_git/{repo}
git checkout ${env:BUILD_SOURCEBRANCHNAME} 2>&1|Write-Host
git reset --hard origin/master 2>&1|Write-Host
echo 'update local branch with remote successfully'
git push vsts ${env:BUILD_SOURCEBRANCHNAME} -f 2>&1|Write-Host
Note: the vsts remote should be added with credential. And it uses PAT for authentication in the Azure DevOps Service git repo URL. And you just need to replace the real PAT, accountname, projectname and reponame in the URL https://Personal%20Access%20Token:{PAT}#marinaliu.visualstudio.com/{project}/_git/{repo}.
Save the build definition, and now when any branches are updated in TFS 2015 git repo, VSTS git repo will be synced automatically for the corresponding branches.
Our team is trying to migrate from GitHub environment to Microsoft Visual Studio Team Service environment. However, the GitHub already has a Jenkins pipeline.
I want to use the same pipeline but move it to the VSTS environment.
There are no clear tutorials regarding this issue.
I want to keep the same configuration but make this work for the repository in VSTS Git.
Please help.
You need to create a service hook for Jenkins. That will allow you to trigger Jenkins builds as appropriate.
Our Enterprise Service Broker team is currently considering moving to the Atlasian Stack as this is a company wide standard and will assist with our Continuous Integration (CI) and continuous Development (CD).
We would like to automate our builds as well as deployments and use Bamboo (Bamboo Agent) to create our artifacts and execute our scrips that we have chosen to write in ANT.
We are currently using Rational Team Concert (RTC - Version control tool) and would like to port to BitBucket so that we can use Bamboo. Is there someone that can guide us in this process, what are the steps we need to take.
I have searched the IBM documentation and they only support bamboo on version 10.2.1410 of the IBM development toolkit which we are not yet making use of as we will not be able to upgrade yet.
Ref: https://docops.ca.com/ca-release-automation/integrations/en/optional-action-packs/ibm-integration-bus-advanced
Are there any best-practices for doing so? Tutorials maybe?
You can connect an RTC to a Git repository. The documentation currently states that it support GitLab and GitHub Enterprise, but nothing about BitBucket.Take a look at this part of the documentation. I think however, you could connect to BitBucket, but jsut treat it like a GitLab repo.
