I was able to migrate most of the projects to VSO except for two. I'm getting this error:
com.opshub.eai.tfs.exception.OIMTFSApiException:
OH-TFS-Connector-0051: Operation failed getUserList. Server Error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Key note: I'm using the OpsHub migration tool for migrating Team Foundation Server on-premise to Visual Studion Online. I don't have the code running behind the scene.
Please help
This issue is resolved in version OVSMU-V1.0.1.006.exe.
You can downlod it from visualstudiogallery

In the process of trying to migrate the TFS - Server 2013 to a new location we encountered an issue.
TF30046: The instance information does not match. Team Foundation expected xxx which was not found.
We tried to change the HostID in the DataBase as suggested by this link:
https://devtipsandtricks.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/tfs-express-2012-tf30046-the-instance-information-does-not-match/
but this did not resolve the issue. Because when I do that, I have another error stating the collection is in the process of being serviced.
Steps taken
Fresh OS
New install of SQL
Restored database from backup (all was well)
It seems I made it work.
Thnx to #ds19 for making me revist the documentation again.
The fix was:
Restore the database from backup
Doing the Application Tier only wizard
When I try to get latest version of project in TFS it does not work and produces this error:
'Source Control Explorer. Unable to read data from transport connection. The connection was closed.' How do I fix this so I can get the latest version of the project's code?
According the error message seems like the connection to the server was made but since the service was not available on machine, then the sever canceled the request.
You could try below ways to narrow down the issue:
First check the event view on the TFS server if there are some
related error info.
Try to get another team project in some collection and different team
project collection.
Try to use another account to get latest on your machine.
Try to use your account to get latest on another machine. If the
issue only occurs on your machine, you may need to clear TFS and VS
cache which may do the trick.
If you are using Window Server 2008R2. Maybe it's related this
issue. Applied the HotFix and try the workaround.
I'm running a TFS -> VSTS migration using OpsHub Visual Studio Online Migration utility.
Version-1.0
OpsHub Integration Manager Framework-OVSMU-V2.0.0.002
I keep getting errors similar to the following:
OH-ConnLoader-0003: Connector for system name : tfs.XXXX.com\XXX to XXXX.visualstudio.com _PROJECT| TFS Target 1456778794042 Source TFS 1456778794043 could not be instantiated due to OH-TFS-Connector-0060: Unable to initialize TFS SCM Connector. OH-TFS-Connector-0048: Failed to login to Team Foundation Server : https://xxxx.visualstudio.com/ with user : null. Server Error : TF400324: Team Foundation services are not available from server https://tfsprodscussu5.app.visualstudio.com/A74e933d7-11c5-493b-af7e-a9e81b64ff78.

I don't get the errors repeatedly, but about once a day. Since I'm the only one executing the migration and I can't watch it all day and night when we have these failures overnight I lose hours of potential migration time. When the migration utility hits this error it halts the migration until you start it over. So far I've been running for 3 days and have only been able to migrate 3000 code items. At this pace it will take me 11 days to migrate this one project, just the code items!
Is there any work around for this error? Why does the migration halt when it hits this error.
Try clearing the Team Foundation cache on your migration computer. To do so, follow these instructions:
Close OpsHub and any other .NET applications you might have running.
Delete any files that might be in these folders:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\3.0\Cache
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\4.0\Cache
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\5.0\Cache
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\6.0\Cache
Open OpsHub and resume your migration.
We had the same issue earlier today, which completely blocked our migration for 3 hours until I did this.
If this is happening to you daily, then you might want to do this each afternoon (until your migration is complete).
I'm trying to do the migration from our TFS 2013 to VS Team Services but I'm facing one issue which is because of the process templates.
I got the error "Template Customization or Template Mismatch Error". Then I have the list of fields in my templates that are not "supported". (The two errors are with "Description HTML" and "Sprint")
To make sure everything works properly, I downloaded the process templates from Visual Studio Team Services and apply it to my TFS. I should have the same Process Templates on both sides.
But when I re-validate the migration summary, it keeps failing for the same reason.
Do you have any idea that would help me moving forward?
Thanks in advance!
You need to completely remove the fields using the command outlined here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404864(v=vs.100).aspx
I have successfully installed TFS 2012 and migrated my TFS 2008 databases into TFS 2012. From within Visual Studio I am able to connect to the new TFS server through my source control plugin and can see all of the projects that were imported from TFS 2008. The problem is that when I click 'Connect' I am getting an exception that an HTTP 500 error has occurred. On the server I am getting a warning in the Event Viewer because of this URL:
http://[servername]:8080/tfs/tfs2008projectcollection/services/v3.0/locationservice.asmx/TeamFoundation/Administration/v3.0/LocationService.asmx
If I manually go to the above URL minus '/TeamFoundation/Administration/v3.0/LocationService.asmx' the page loads fine. Additionally if I remove '/tfs2008projectcollection/services/v3.0/locationservice.asmx' and navigate to http://[servername]:8080/tfs/TeamFoundation/Administration/v3.0/LocationService.asmx the page loads fine.
Thing is this only happens with the project collection that I imported from 2008. I created a new project collection directly in TFS 2012 and I can connect to that project just fine within VS 2012. Has anyone ran into this issue and, if so, what is the best way to correct it?
It is unclear what caused / is causing this problem but after a TFS server reboot the issue is no longer manifesting itself.
I'm am also having this issue. I have Update 4 and this is a fresh machine. I see the issue here, have tried the fix and no luck. I've also tried a reboot with no luck. I see the issue here and it appears that Microsoft's only suggestion is to 2013. Unfortunately they do not supply a migration path directly between 2008 and 2013, so I have to cross my fingers and hope that upgrading the machine after importing from 2008 even with the error will solve the issue.
Can anyone confirm the issue is actually resolved in 2013?
