Has anyone tried to integrate Tibco Designer especially for BusinessWorks with Team Foundation Server 2010?
At the moment, our Tibco designer is using VSS as its source safe control.
We are planning to migrate the VSS to TFS 2010 but I could not find a solution to integrate Tibco Designer with the TFS 2010.
I have no familiarity with the product directly, but since it is currently able to integrate with SourceSafe, perhaps the TFS 2010 MSSCCI provider might help?
You would install it on your client machine(s) so that application would be able to talk to TFS 2010 (and 2005/2008 with that version, it seems). I have used the provider for getting Visual Studio 2003 to TFS 2010, which does not have native TFS support.

Yes we have integrated Designer with TFS in a retail project, but it does not leverage full strengths of a source control system. There are no auto builds, trunking. Just basic check-in check-out. For Designer SVN is a recommended source control system.

I am trying use the mass-update feature from projects and excel.
The add-in doesn't have Team addin to enable in MS excel.
I have access to TFS though.
If you just want to enable the add-in in Excel, then you need to install Visual Studio or at least install the Team Explorer. Generally the add-in will automatically enabled. If you still cannot see the Team ribbon, you can refer to below article for troubleshooting: TFS-Office integration issues
In your scenario, you can use the TFS Office Integration Installer. This new installer just includes the Office integration component (Excel, Project, etc) and is therefore lighter weight. See this blog : TFS Office Integration Installer
For 2017 version : Team Foundation Server Office Integration 2017 (version 15.3)
Note that support for integrating TFS with Project Server is
deprecated for TFS 2017. However, synchronization support is provided
by a third part. See Synchronize TFS with Project Server for
details.

We are using Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 for our SSIS Packages development. We would like to integrate this with Team Foundation Server Express edition since it is free.
Please let me know whether this integration possible at all? What will be other limitations?
Thanks!
SQL Server Data Tools is a feature in VS, while TFS is a server that provides features like source code management, reporting, ect. If Visual Studio 2012 is not installed, you need to install Team Explorer to work with TFS.
Regarding TFS Express limitation, you may check this case: Limitations & Features of TFS Express 2013
By the way, instead of TFS Express, you may consider using Visual Studio Team Service.
I'm running TFS client 2013 with Visual Studio 2013, TFS Server 2010.
I've installed TFS Power Tools 2013 but I am unable to locate Alerts Explorer
How do I open Alerts Explorer or is there some configuring I am missing?
Edit:
I know that in TFS 2012 and 2013 this is part of the product but I still need the functionality while using TFS 2010 with a more recent version of Visual Studio. Is there a way to have that functionality? The default Project Alerts functionality which is built-in is useless as it does not provide any control.
Hate to be a buzzkill but what you are trying to do simply will not work. There is no Alerts Explorer present in the Visual Studio 2013 client, even with the TFS 2013 Power Tools installed. Why? It appears they moved this functionality into the TFS 2013 web access so they didn't include it in the VS 2013 client. The VS 2013 client is not backwards compatible with TFS 2010 with respect to managing alerts.
The Alerts Explorer is a feature of TFS 2010 Power Tools. What you need to do is install the Visual Studio 2010 Team Explorer shell (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=329) and then install TFS 2010 Power Tools on top of that. It's going to be a pain to have to boot up the VS2010 shell just for alerts management but there's pretty much no other option. In case you are wondering the VS2010 shell looks just like VS2010 but it only contains the features for connecting to TFS. It's free... no licensing fees, etc.
Microsoft states this pretty plainly even though they use the word "might"...
Q: How do I manage alerts when I connect to TFS 2010?
A: The instructions in this topic require you to connect to TFS 2012 or TFS 2013. If you have upgraded to VS 2012 or VS 2013 and are connecting to TFS 2010, then you might have to install Team Explorer 2010 side-by-side to manage alerts stored on TFS 2010.
Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181334.aspx
You can also get to the alerts via Visual Studio using the menu. Team > Project Alert. This will navigate to your TFS web access (something like http://tfs:8080/tfs/TFS/PROJECT/_Alerts).
You don't need it anymore, that functionality is now part of Team Foundation Server 2012 and 2013.
In TFS Web Access click on your Name (top-right) and go to My Alerts -> Custom Alerts -> Other
We are using TFS 2008 for source code. The process template chosen was Agile 4.2.
I have installed VSTS 2010 to access TFS 2008 server.
Can someone please guide me on how to enable TFS 2008 with the ability to add Workitems - Test Case and Scenario into it.
You cannot use Microsoft Test Manager (also known as Visual Studio Test Professional 2010) with Team Foundation Server 2008. It requires implementation on the server which is not available in TFS 2008.
See Software Requirements for Visual Studio Application Lifecycle Management Features on MSDN:
To use Visual Studio Test Professional 2010, you must also install
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010.
You can however create a Test Case and Scenario work item type in TFS 2008. This would just be a plain old work item form, no different to a Task or Bug like you already have.
We're looking to upgrade to Delphi 2010 and have Team Foundation Server as our source Control.
Is there a plug in for TFS that allows clients to talk to it via SVN?
I noticed that CodePlex, Microsoft's open source web service, supports TFS and SVN so am hoping that there is a SVN plug in for TFS.

have a look at the SvnBridge project, which is I believe what Codeplex are using
Delphi used to support MSSCCI for version control plugins. If it still does you would be able to use the TFS MSSCCI provider and get TFS integration without using SvnBridge.
