How can I implement TFS in Powerbuilder 2017 ??
Do i need VisualStudio?
The goal is to use TFS for version control
Steps in brief
Setup the team explorer 2013 (use this link if you do not have visual studio subscription to download team explorer 2013 ) in the machine you are running PowerBuilder to get the TFS connectivity capability to your machine. You do not need to install Visual Studio.
Install MSSCCI provider in the machine to allow power builder to access TFS version control
Create a team project in team foundation server
Connect Power Builder workspace to TFS by going to Properties of workspace and source control. Set the TFS as source control and provide the credentials to connect.
For more details you can follow the instructions in https://community.appeon.com/groups/powerbuilder/using-powerbuilder-2017-tfs-source-control

Source Control Explorer is what I have used in the past to manage my Team Foundation version control (TFVC).
In Visual Studio 2019 (and earlier verions), you could open Source Control Explorer by navigating to View | Other Windows | Source Control Explorer. However, this window can't be found here in VS2022.
Has this functionality been completely removed or is there still a way to access Source Control Explorer using Visual Studio 2022?
Follow below steps to add the TFS server:
Manage Connections -> Connect to a project option in the Team Explorer (use View -> Team Explorer if not available) and connect to the project.
Click Add Azure DevOps Server, input tfs server URL and choose Add.
Then the list of projects you have access will be listed below, select a project and connect.
Then the Source control menu option will be made available in the usual place View | Other Windows | Source Control Explorer.
These are the steps from Visual Studio Professional 2022
Use Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2022 only when Visual studio Developer not installed.
You're probably looking for the Team Explorer.

Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2022 will connect to Azure DevOps Server 2019, Team Foundation Server 2017, Team Foundation Server 2015, Team Foundation Server 2013, Team Foundation Server 2012, and Team Foundation Server 2010 SP1.
Yes, Cloud Explorer which is in Visual studio 2019 as shown below, has been retired in Visual Studio 2022
Instead, we can use the following alternatives mentioned here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/azure/vs-azure-tools-resources-managing-with-cloud-explorer?view=vs-2022
Go to File > Clone Repository > Team Explorer > Manage connections.
We are planning to do version control for our SSIS packages. I want to know how to install TFS and configure it to checkin SSIS packages.
I have read this SSIS TFS configuration. But here I couldn't find anything about installation. it contains only connection information TFS. Should I install from SSIS extensions? Should i install Team explorer? It is showing so many options as shown below.I don't know the right one. Also is installing this requires any license? Please guide me here. Any link with the steps is also fine.
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and SQL Server 2012.
I want to know how to install TFS and configure it to checkin SSIS packages.
Refer to Install and configure Team Foundation Server and Integration Services (SSIS) and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server for details.
Should I install from SSIS extensions? Should i install Team explorer?
Yes, to design the SSIS packages you need to download and install SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools). It's an official addon for Visual Studio which adds templates for SSIS and SSAS projects. Refer to Download and install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio for details.
And you need to install the Team Explorer to connect to TFS and manage the source control.
is installing this requires any license?
It's based on your VS subscription, you can try community version of Visual Studio, it's free.
Besides, find following blogs for your reference, hope that helps.

I'm unable to connect TFS 2008 URL from VS2017; Is there any patch or providers needs to be installed
Googled alot about msscci provider,
but there isn't anything specific for 2017!
I keep a blogpost with the most up-to-date information on which versions of Visual Studio connect to what and which things you need to have installed. TFS 2008 has been out of support for a while now (April 2018) and Visual Studio 2017 can't connect to it anymore as a result. Team Explorer 2010 is the last version that officially supports connecting to this old TFS version.
In order to work with TFS 2008, you need Team Explorer 2010 or lower installed and use that for your interactions with TFS 2008. This does mean that you won't have any working Team Explorer or Source control integration in the Solution Explorer.
It's highly recommended to upgrade TFS 2008 to TFS 2018 or the soon to be released Azure DevOps Server 2019. Or, take away the maintenance burden of having to run your own servers, by migrating to Azure DevOps in the cloud. The process to migrate does require an intermediate upgrade to TFS 2018 though, so I'd start with that regardless.
What to download and install for:
Team Explorer 2010
Correct TE 2010 download location
Team Explorer 2008
How to publish a project developed in VS 2015 for the TFS 2017 server itself?
If you mean to create a Team Foundation Server plugin, you can reference this article : How to create and debug a Team Foundation Server server-side plugin, it's similar for TFS 2017.

I'm trying to connect my AX 2009 installation to VSO (recently renamed to VSTS).
After browsing some forum entries I know that I have to install the following:
Install Visual Studio 2008 (not the Express Edition)
Install Team Explorer 2008
Install Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (This will upgrade both VS2008 and Team Explorer 2008 to SP1)
Install VSTS 2008 Forward Compatibility Update
The installation order is important because the SP1 will update VS and Team Explorer, so I followed that order.
Then I created a project in Visual Studio Online.
Now I want to connect my AX 2009 with the repository in VSO. The VSO is hosting a TFS, so this should work.
As far as I could find out to configure the TFS settings you need to set the Version Control Parameters and the System Settings. I did both as shown in the following screenshots:
When I'm setting the Version Control Paramters the Internet Explorer opened and I needed to authenticate with my User and Password against VSO (so this seems fine to me).
The final step now would be to Create the Repository (Tools -> Developer Tools -> Version Control -> Create Repository. But when I try to do this I get the following error-log: Team Server connection error. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
The settings in 7 could be wrong - I'm not really sure what values are to set there.
Any help is appreciated.
The plugin is trying to access a SQL Server database. As VSTS is hosted on Azure and uses multi-tenanting there is no access to SQL server on that URL.
I am pretty sure that this is not ever going to work. VSTS is NOT just hosted TFS and even if it were, Visual Studio 2008 is no longer supported as a client for either TFS or VSTS.
Install the following components:
Visual Studio 2010 with SP1 (can be installed side by side with, or as a replacement for VS2008).
