I downloaded the free version of the OpsHub so that I can migrate my work item types on TFS 2013 VS cloud. but the downloaded version of the application that downloaded does not match the screen shot from the download site and when I select "select endpoint destination" it does not give me an option to select an online location to migrate my current WIT files. I am trying to migrate my current work items that I have built on tfs 2013 to tfs 2015 online.
THe image for the app on the download site says
1 provide endpoint details
a)team foundation server endpoint
b)visual studio online endpoint
and the app that I downloaded says.
1 provide endpoint details
a)source endpoint
b)Destination endpoint
thx
With free OVSMU migration utility version, only migration from TFS to online VSTS migration is possible. We regret the inconvenience regarding the image upload gallery page and accordingly we will change. On the end points, during "Providing end point details", there will be re-direction on to manage end point details and from there you can select the online VSTS option.
Thanks

generic question about chow to manage files in Devops with TFS (for legacy reasons, import data from VSS).
I can download latest or historic versions via browser but cannot upload them. For uploading new changesets I was using a Visual Studio Express. I currently lost an option to do so - is there any other way than going licenced VS Pro to do so? Is there a free standalone app that can be used for uploading content to DevOps which is using TFS?
Thanks for any pointers
A colleague of mine pointed me towards this:
Visual Studio Team Explorer 2022
A free solution for non-developers to interact with Azure DevOps Server and Azure DevOps.
We have TFS 2015 (on-premise) and Microsoft Teams in the cloud.
I am trying to find the TFS plug-in (all I can see is Azure DevOps) and want to be able to show TFS information inside of Teams.
I see lots of articles on how this use to work? But can't find it in my list of plugins to add into the system.
Is there something we need to do at a server level?
Thanks
There is an official extension-- Microsoft Teams Integration.
With using this, you are able to see activity about your Azure DevOps or Team Foundation Server projects directly in your Microsoft Teams channel, for example:
Work item updates
Pull requests
Code commits
Builds
Release deployments and approvals
Work item updates
Azure DevOps Kanban board
However, as the link declare clearly, it only work with Team Foundation Server 2017 Update 2 and above. It's not able to do this with TFS2015. You need to upgrade your TFS version. With higher version, you could also get more released new features in TFS.
What are people doing to for project portal connections/document libraries in TFS 2018 now that MS has removed the SharePoint Integration? We had a TFS2013 environment that's been upgraded to 2018, but we're still trying to figure out what to do with the documents associated with the projects that used to be accessible via the "project portal".
You can continue to use Sharepoint. Just put a link to the Sharepoint portal in the team dashboard.
The only thing lost when the SP integration was deprecated were the Sharepoint dashboards, which were inferior to the dashboards already in TFS.
how to migrate a single project alone (where project collection contains 30+ projects) from TFS to VSTS with all history, build-definitions, changesets
Microsoft has documentation on this exact scenario which can be found here: Migrate to Visual Studio Team Services : Move from Team Foundation Server (TFS) to Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) and bring your data along.
This link also contains the download link for the migration tooling which you will want to use
Currently the following versions of TFS are supported for import:
TFS 2017 Update 3
TFS 2018
TFS 2018 Update 1
As described in About VSTS and TFS, Scope and scale data, the
long term direction for VSTS is to support grouping of accounts within
organizations. This would lead to:
VSTS accounts that serve as the equivalent of TFS project collections and VSTS organizations that serve as the equivalent of
TFS deployments.
This is why the TFS Database Import Service only supports importing single TFS collections as single VSTS accounts.
If you need to migrate individual team projects you will need to use
one of the other options—manual copy or public API based
migrations.

It's very clear why you could not use TFS Database Import Service to migrate at team project-level directly.
You can also have a try for VSTS Sync Migration Tools,it allows you to bulk edit and migrate data between Team Projects on both Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) and Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). Note this without history. How to please refer: TFS 2017 Migration To VSTS with VSTS Sync Migrator
If you insist on keeping all history, the only way is using TFS Database Import Service, you may take the workaround as Daniel suggested.
Is there a migration Process guide for migrating TFS 2010 with sharepoint services to another Active Directory? what are the software installation steps and the data migration steps? What are the sets of data (types of data sources like files,DB data etc) we need to look into?
I think, the main problem would be to change user accounts. You can use "TFSConfig.exe /identities" command to move all users and references to a new domain.
TFSconfig.exe is not part of a TFS Client installation. It is part of TFS Server installation. you can find it under Tools directory of TFS Installation folder.
Also, here is a link to MS documentation about moving TFS to a new domain.
