I have an old setup with a tfs2010 and sql2008 and the current Collection is holding 3 team Projects. Now i want to create a new team project but for some reason i cant. it seems that it has something to do with the SQL Reporting that dosent excists. i get an error TF218027.
Ive been going through the setup and im wondering a bit
What exactly does the TFS use the reportServer for (MSDN dosent seem to want to tell me)
is there any way to create a Team project without the reporting
Will it damage my excisting data if i create and connect to a new sql reportServer
Hope someone will take the time to give an answer
thanks.
I have already tried the different approtaches discussed on different threads and im primarily looking for information on the 3 questions written above
Try the steps below:
In browser go to: http://application-tier/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
Press Folder settings button in the toolbar
Press New Role Assignment button in the toolbar
Specify user name in Group or user name field, check Content Manager role and press OK.
So for the people that actually read the question the answer is.
Keeps track of agile work progress
yes and its actually easy. go to the reporting service and stop it and then tell TFS not to report under reporting
Since it was never running the answer here is No

I am using TFS 2013 and I am trying to customize a workitem template using the ProcessEditor form (I also tried to do the same using the editing and importing xml file),I am trying to add a "ReadlOnly" rule to a field only for some new TFS global group, so I added the new Group and after that I could see and select the newly added Group from the "For" dropdown but when I am trying to save the changes I always got the error "The account you entered is not recognized. Contact your Team Foundation Server administrator to add your account" I googled the error and found a suggestion here http://www.databaseforum.info/30/943697.aspx that it may be a caching issue so I waited days for this and restarted the client and the TFS server machines but without any luck although I can use old created groups without any issues however if I renamed one of these old groups then tried to use it I still got the same error message no matter I add the new groups as a member of any other group.
First, make sure your TFS admin not have done any security changes (adding account or groups or permissions) for your account.
If not, you could try below two possibilities to narrow down the issue:
Check if you had added a field that contained backslashes as values
and TFS may interpreted it as user account. For example if your field
contained a list of suggested values that looked like this: Category
1\Subcategory 1
When you add a value such as
<TRANSITION from="Resolved" to="Complete" for="[project]AllTesters" not="[project]NewTesters">
</TRANSITION>
you should not extend the project to [your project name]AllTesters, should just use [project]AllTesters
For more detail info and ways, please refer below similar issues:

Here is the thing, I left it for couple of days and when I returned to it I found everything is working like a charm, I added now some new groups and couldn't see them so I guess I will wait some days for it to work!
the issue was the service agent job that was responsible on syncing the AD changes with the tfs was stopped, everything worked fine when I started it
I have very recently started working on Team foundation server and really have limited idea on the subject.
I have been given a problem to solve and I really dont have an idea to proceed.
We are doing a TFS-Sharepoint 2010 integration.
In dev server, the TFS is configured and is pointing to TFS_DefaultCollection database. Now, in TFS, 3 new fields have been added. It points to Field101,Field102 and Field103 columns(I dont know how these columns are created but it seems it is dynamically generated,I suppose, not sure though) of WorkItemLatest table.
Some custom stored procedure is written to insert/update the database table with sharepoint webpart. Now in the stored proc, the developer has referenced Field101,Field102 and Field103 columns.
Now comes the question of deployment this to production. In production, there is already a TFS configured. We have to make changes on top of this. But, when running the sql scripts, we found, naturally, Field101,Field102 and Field103 are not present there. So, what should be our approach which will help us address this issue? Please suggest. Also, please let me know how these 3 fields are created when 3 fields are added in TFS UI? Please help.
You need to use the WITAdmin tool to export the work item type definitions that you want to edit and mahe the changes there. You can find this fully documented on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd236914.aspx
I am new to coding and everytime I ask a question I feel like stupid because I mostly am unfamiliar with most known things in this "industry" so I will sum up the whole situation fastly.
I learned how to code html css and js, I learned how to use VS 2012 asp.net mvc 4 and finally I made a webside for a student club I am into. Hosting is provided by our school and they only gave me ftp user name and password, I dont know which hosting firm is it or what is going on and so on, I got Filezilla to delete and unpublish the old webside, and I didnt know a proper way to publish asp.net websides through filezilla so I used VS 2012 publish tool.
I choosed FTP as publish method because I had ftp user name... I choosed relase as configuration and thats it ( I didnt open options here ) finally I could push on publish...
I faced 2 main problems so I couldnt publish
Problems I faced were;
1) While I was trying to publish I got an error like
" Validation (HTML5): Element 'a' must not be nested within element 'a button' "
I was trying to make a nav with sub items on it, It worked while I was trying it on local host I saw similar problems spoken out here on VS 2010 I tried to make exstensions to VS didnt work out
Anyway I deleted that part from the project and I tried publishing again.
2)It worked out perfect it seemed like no problem occoured. But when I try to open the webside it was saying I had no permisson to view.
I hope I didnt write any off topic staff here just try to tell you my problems so maybe someone can get help like I did from prior topics.
" Validation (HTML5): Element 'a' must not be nested within element 'a
button' "
You cannot have one anchor tag inside another anchor tag. If you have it that will cause you the problem.
Check out this thread to find out valid elements which can be nested inside an Anchor tag.
I had no permisson to view.
You need to give proper read/write permissions for the ApplicationPool Identity on the folder structure you have for your website. Or else IIS Apppool will not be able to get the files and execute them.
Give permissions to AppPool Identity for a particular folder/file. That resource will guide you one how to give you permissions to Application Pool Identity.
Alternatively you can give permissions from FileZilla itself. Simply right click the application root folder and select permissions. Then you can specify permissions from client side itself. But in most of the production cases, we have to add app pool user to the folder/file permissions list manually. But definitely give a try with FileZilla.
I have configured TFS 2010, but when I try to load the project dashboard for a team project, it returns a reporting service error so I am not able to see the "Task Burndown (hours)" and " Burn Rate (hours/day)". Other parts of the page are working fine.
The error is as:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Get Online Help
Cannot impersonate user for data source 'TfsReportDS'. (rsErrorImpersonatingUser) Get Online Help
Log on failed. (rsLogonFailed) Get Online Help
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
I got resolution finally....
Go to analysis service.
You will see database named as TFS_Analysis.
Go to Roles node.
View properties of "TfsWarehouseDataReader".
Click on Data Sources.
Now you will see Tfs_AnalysisDataSource.
Change access to "Read" and check "Read Definition" box. Now Click OK and You are Done.
The main problem was with SCHEMA CONFLICTS.
First identify which fields are causing schema conflicts, invoke GetWarehouseStatus and observe the XML which fields got conflicted, and in which collection. once you found the filed names then rename the fields with the help of below link.
geekswithblogs.net/Natalia/Default.aspx
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee921480(v=VS.100).aspx
then rebuild your warehouse from tfs admin console, take a back up of old database in sql database and delete it .wait for some time (depends on warehouse time to refresh the cube or check the GetWarehouseStatus next day and check the xml ). to check this use below link
type //localhost:8080/tfs/TeamFoundation/Administration/v3.0/WarehouseControlService.asmx?op=GetProcessingStatus
I spend lot of time to resolve this issue, that's why posting the solution here, this may help some one... any queries related schema conflicts and Reporting services feel free to post me... iam not a expert but for sure i can help you out in this issues....

In order to make sure that obsolete versions of the product aren't selected for a work item's iteration, I would like to be able to cloak certain iteration nodes from view, when opening a new work item.
For example, if the current production version of my site is 3.5, and 3.6 and 4.0 are in development, I want to make sure that when a user creates a new work item, versions that are older than 3.5 (e.g. 3.4, 2.7) will not be selectable.
I can conceive of a way to do this creating a custom control, but I'd like to avoid those, as they'd require development of both desktop and web controls, and would have to be deployed to all users.
Any ideas, directions, or just an "it can't be done", would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Assaf.
I am not sure if you can hide it as a selection.
However you can set the security for "Edit work items in this node" to deny and they will not be able to save workitems with the area or iteration selected.
I'm 90% sure it can't be done.
I haven't tried this myself:
Along the line of access control, I believe if you deny "View this node" permission on a user then she will not be able to see this node at all. Be aware that she will probably not be able to see the work items that are under this node, but I guess you are fine with that.
Another thing to note is that this solution might not work with Administrators (because if all Administrators are denied view permission and cannot see the area path then it's lost forever).
