I need to migrate from Clearcase to TFS 2013, I have searched for a solution that helps me and I found the TFS Integration tool at CodePlex, but it does not seems to work with TFS 2013. So, does anyone has had need to do this and found a solution?
When I try to install the TFS integration tool in a server with TFS 2013 this error is displayed:
The process described in "Getting Started with IBM Rational to Team Foundation Server (TFS) Migrations" should work with more recent TFS version (2012, 2à13)
The error message "This tool requires the TFS client object model" can be seen in those recent versions: see "TFS Integration Tools – Issue: “This tool requires the TFS client object model”".
When installing the TFS Integration Tools on a machine that only has the Team Explorer installed, the installation fails with the error
This tool requires the TFS client object model.

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.

Is there a tool available that I can install on my machine for TFS administrative tasks without having to log in to the TFS server? I found one same question - Accessing Administration Console in TFS - but it was from 2011. We are using TFS 2012 and Visual studio 2008.
Thanks.
Unfortunately the TFS Admin Console can only be run on the server (unlike most other admin tools like SSMS which can be run remotely).
We (the ALM MVP's) have asked Microsoft for this capability in the past, so they know about it, it just hasn't been a priority to implement yet.
Tfs sidekicks will cover some of your request, the tfs administration tool will also help with user accounts. Admin tool can found on codeplex
I installed TFS 2013 on my Windows server 2012 and I would like to transfer my projects from vss to tfs.
I downloaded the vss to tfs tool from [microsoft tool][1], but I was unable to install it because of compability mode, error message: "Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try Setup again"
According to this Buck Hodges blog post, you're not going to be able to do this in Windows Server 2012, and Microsoft isn't going to fix it. See the following comment:
... unfortunately, it is blocked in the installer. Right now we don't
have plans to re-release it, so you would need to run it on Win7-based
OS.
Incidentally, the post also addresses the question of upgrading to TFS 2013.
I would like to know if the upgrade tool will work with TFS 2013?
The documentation only mentions TFS 2010 and 2012. However, Hodges also addresses this:
... it should work with the caveat of what OS you install it on (see previous
comment).
the solution for me was : i installed the tool on another machine with win server 2008 , convert the projects and than move them to the tfs 2013
We've got a server with TFS2008 that we do all our builds on. I need to get an install of TFS2010 running. Can I run it on the same server (windows 2003) or do I need it on a seperate one?
This is not possible.
The exact question was asked before in the MSDN Forum and you can read all the answers here.
As Arun said TFS 2010 installer checks
if previous version of TFS is
installed on the computer and will not
let you install TFS 2010 if previous
version is detected.
There are many reasons why it is not possible to
install TFS 2008 and TFS 2010 side by
side. One of them is the fact that
both are creating an IIS web site with
the same name - "Team Foundation
Server".
