SSIS TFS configuration - tfs

I am trying to source control ssis packages
Installed TFS server component and created Team project collection.
There is no plug in to select in DATA TOOL->Option->Source control->Plugin
How to do this on SSIS 2012 !?
I have also installed explorer and expecting the visual studio level check in facility would appear in SSIS Data tools.

Assuming you have installed TFS 2012, and installed Team Explorer for VS 2012. after creating Team Project Collection, you also need to create a Team Project in Team Explorer.
To connect to TFS in SSDT, you can follow:
Launch SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).
On the Team menu, click Connect to Team Foundation Server.
In the Team Explorer – Connect pane, click Connect.
In the Connect to Team Foundation Server dialog box, click Servers.
In the Add/Remove Team Foundation Server dialog box, click Add.
In the Add Team Foundation Server dialog box, enter the server information, click OK, and then click Close in the Add/Remove Team Foundation Server dialog box.
In the Connect to Team Project dialog box, select the server you’ve added, click the appropriate team project, and then click Connect.

VS Code integration with TFS

I'm now starting to use VS Code and I like this tool except for the fact it won't integrate with TFS.
I have looked all over the place for a solution that would be easy to use and didn't find anything good.
The solution of TFVC that offered here How to connect TFS in Visual Studio code is not what I'm looking for.
I need to have the source control explorer and to be able to right click on a file to check it in and out.
Any good solution out there?
Visual Studio Team Services Extension for Visual Studio Code is the only official solution for now.
Source control explorer is something integrated with visual studio, which do not included in visual studio code.
If you really need this feature, you could submit a uservoice here, TFS PM and Admin will kindly review your suggestion.
As a workaround, suggest you to use the tf command to do the check in option.
1.on the Tools menu, click Connect to Team Foundation Server.
2.in the Connect to Team Foundation Server dialog box, select a Team Foundation Server from the drop-down list.
3.Under Team projects, select one or more team projects from the list. Team projects with a check mark next to them will display in Team Explorer.
4.click OK.
Team Explorer displays the team projects under the selected Team Foundation Server.

Team Foundation Serivce (TFS) and running visual studio instance

I have created a repo using TFS (cloud) on www.visualstudio.com
I created my repo as on something as myproject.visualstudio.com and when trying to run or click on following link:
Open new instance of Visual Studio it throws an error as
Cannot open file vstfs:///Framework/TeamProject/..... Verify that the
file still exists and then try again
I searched here on SOV and also on MSDN and found a thread on MSDN forum but it was about some services pack and updates.
Has anybody ever used this service?
Thanks.
I assume that you already created project on yourAccountName.visualstudio.com
Then, if you are using VS2010, install recommended update SP1 VS2010 SP1
After that (it might take a while as long as 30 min), just start VS2010, on start page just click Connect To Team Foundation Server, then on "Select a team Foundation Server" click on "Servers", then "Add", and in "Name or URL of Team Foundation Server" just paste URL of your AccountName such as: "https://yourAccountName.visualstudio.com" (withouth quotes). then you jsut click OK and that's it. Your VS2010 should be now connected with your account at visualstudio.com
This is a bit of a manual method but it works :)
You can find more about it in this MSDN blog Team Foundation Service Preview – Connect Visual Studio 2010 to Your TFS Preview Account
there is a solution I just found which walks me through IDE.
Run VS2012 Under "Start" in VS 2012 click on "Connect to Team Foundation Server ..."
It will popup a dialog so then in bottom of dialog/form there is link as "Sign In", click on it
Enter your user-name and password Now, you are connected to the server and can view
all your Repositories
P.S. don't forget to add your server URL on the list TFS in your IDE provides.

How to update VSTS 2008 Team System Web Access to VSTS 2010

Is there something like VSTS2010 Team System Web Access (TSWA), if yes where is it located(web page, package with VSTS2010 installer), I'm searching for it but Microsoft pages directs me to VSTS2008 TSWA
I try to upgrade VSTS2008 to VSTS2010, after the upgrade I tried to access it through Team System Web Access and I got an error The type 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WebAccess.DefaultPage' is ambiguous:it could come from assembly 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System Web Access\Wiwa\bin\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WebAccess.Server.DLL' or from assembly 'C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WebAccess.Server\10.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WebAccess.Server.dll'. Please specify the assembly explicitly in the type name.
Do you have an idea what should I do?
When you do a clean install of TFS 2010, the Team Web Access is created to connect to the SharePoint portal. This of course happens when a team project is created. There's simply a "Team Web Access" link in the left navigation pane of the portal.
Try to right-click a team project in Team Explorer, and choose "Show Project Portal". See if you have that link in the right nav.

How to open TFS Power Tools - Alerts Explorer

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. But I cannot find Alerts Explorer in any of the command lists.
It seems Alerts Explorer is no longer available in Team Project menu.
To create an Alert, you can open Alerts Explorer in following ways:
From the Team menu in Visual Studio, click Alerts Explorer.
From the Team Explorer window, right-click the server\team project collection and then click Alerts Explorer.
For Work Items, you can Right Click a Work Item and choose 'Alert on change..'.
For Source Control, Right Click Source Control Items and choose 'Alert on Change..'.
We had to install the Team Foundation Server Power Tools from December 2011 at http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/c255a1e4-04ba-4f68-8f4e-cd473d6b971f

How to add new users to TFS 2010

I have installed Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 on Windows 7 Professional edition.
How can I manage (add) new users which can use the TFS 2010?
I had the same challenge. It isn't obvious how this can be done without Visual Studio but here we go... On your TFS 2010 server:
Go to Team Foundation Server
Administration Console
Navigate to your Team Project Collection
Select Group Membership from the General tab
Open Project Collection Valid Users. It should include your Team Projects's groups as
members.
Select suitable Team Project group and add your user into that group.
Since you don't have a server version of windows, you can't have a domain, so you can't add domain users to your project.
You should either install a server (which most people might recommend) or you can save your time and effort and just simply create local users on your TFS server (which can have any version of windows). This method will work just the same as installing a windows server. To do that just go to this location:
"Computer Management" -> "Local Users and Groups" -> Users
Add any users you want and in order to prevent windows from showing them in the welcome screen, double click on each one of them and remove their member of data (which is set to Users by default)
Then follow Kyberias' instructions.
Connect to a team project in VS2010.
In the Team Explorer menu expand your team project.
Right click Team Members and select Add Team Member.
From here you can add members and assign them permissions based on what they should be allowed to do on the project.
I hope this is what you are looking for.
The problem here is that there are no TFS users per se. TFS authenticates users against windows which runs it. Once you have some windows users, then you must configure permissions as mentioned by Kyberias.
