Configure RoboHelp to use TFS

Can anyone point me toward step-by-step instructions for configuring RoboHelp 7 to use Team Foundation Server (TFS) for source control?

It's pretty easy, assuming you have TFS installed and setup. I assume your IT guys would do this for you.
You also need to install the Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider plugin, available from Microsoft. This allows RoboHelp to talk to TFS.
Also, make sure the project is in the correct directory location for TFS. I find the easiest way is to create the required path up to the root folder in TFS. Then just past the project files into the correct location.
To add a project to TFS (assuming it's not in another source control product. more info below), just click the Add to Version Control icon, select the above add-in from the list and then select the team foundation server to add the project to.
Once it's in TFS, check-in/check-out should just happen automatically. I'm not sure if check-in comments are always mandatory, or just part of our setup, but that bit is fairly straight forward.
If your project is in a different source control product, it would be best to remove it from that source control program first. There should be an option like : File > Source Control > Remove from Source Control - it might be slightly different depending on your RH version. (There is also a sneaky hack, if you want to leave the project in the old product, but I won't go into it right now.)

RoboHelp crashes when using TFS

Has anyone used RoboHelp with Team Foundation Server for version control? I noticed a few questions about that on this forum but no answers. I had attempted to use RoboHelp 7 with TFS but RoboHelp keeps crashing. Is this problem corrected in RoboHelp 8, is anyone using RoboHelp 8 with TFS as version control.

I'm afraid there's a delay in making attached files downloadable (RH forum seems to monitor/censor these attachments for safety purposes), so your file will be labeled QUEUED until it has been released.
Note that the following files are machine- and output-specific source files that should not be added to source control:
MyProject.cpd
MyProject.hhp
MyProject.ldb
MyProject.pss
Try removing them from source control, and see if that helps.
Good luck,
Leon

Problems using TFS 2008 with RoboHelp 11?

Adobe has not been able to resolve our company's connection problem with SharePoint thus far.
We do know that we can use TFS 2008 with RoboHelp because they have done that in the past. We are on RH11.
We need to know...Has anyone experienced any problems with using TFS 2008 with RH11? If so, what kind of problem(s)?

I've used TFS 2008/2010/2012 with RoboHelp without problems so far. You will always get the check in dialog, but that is the way it works, not a problem. This will become annoying when you are relocating lots of topics, since you will have to check in files a lot during these operations. But otherwise it works perfect in my experience.
As long as you make sure you have the 32 bit MSSCCI provider for the correct TFS version (MSSCCI 2008 for TFS 2008), you should be fine.

How to execute a batch file on different remote server using TFS Build

I have a build server and have 2 web servers. I am deploying using TFS Builds. Now, I have a requirement to execute a batch file which is kept on these 2 web servers. i.e. C:\MyBatch\CreateMe.bat
After my build is successful, I need to execute this batch from the build server.
Note, I cannot make any shared folder.

Hi Sameer,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the version of your TFS?
How do you deploy solution using TFS Build, run MSBuild deploy command or using Release Management?
That C:\MyBatch\CreateMe.bat file stay on your two web server machines separately?
If you want execute this bat file on your two web server machines separately using build process template, you need configure your web server machine as build agent, then add the InvokeProcess activity in build process template to run the bat file on build
agent machine after build, please refer to Hari’s answer reply in this post:

How to achieve Incremental deployment of Code Files to different environments of windows azure using TFS and Visual Studio ?

Hi
We are new to Windows azure and are developing a web application. In the beginning of the project , we have deployed complete code using Sitefinity Thunder to different environments which actually publish complete code. But now as we are in the middle of development
, we are just required to upload any new files created which can be quite less in numbers (1 or 2 or maybe few). Now if we deploy with thunder , it publishes all files and then deploys complete code which takes good amount of time. Hence we are thinking to
attach each Azure Cloud Service which is actually a different environment like staging, UAT to a TFS branch and then just check in code from local development machine to TFS and then deploy only checked in files to azure environment linked to TFS.
I hope this possible but if you can help send some links where I can see how to achieve this , that will be helpful.
Also I would like to know whether a single cloud service can be linked to a single TFS branch or multiple cloud service can be linked to a single TFS repository? Why I am asking is – because we want to deploy a checked in files revision number to a staging
cloud service and then will test there and then if everything works well then will be required to deploy these revision files to the next cloud UAT cloud service and then production cloud service. Please help.

Hi,
We can use TFS to manage our azure cloud service application code, refer to the following to get more information about how to deploy sitefinity to azure.

Which should we use: TFS or RoboSource Control?

We have two authors working on one project. Our dev team uses TFS. I don't have a preference for which source control solution we use, I just want it to be easy to work on our topics. From the search I've done, it looks like both are accessed from within RoboHelp, but I'm not 100% on that.
Why should I pick one solution over the other?

Hi,
You can use both Source Control systems. If your developers are already using TFS, it might be easier to use that too. For RoboSource control you need to create a new database on a server and connect to that. Why bother if you already have TFS ready to use? Personally, I use TFS because the developers wanted me to use the same source control system as them. Before that I used VSS, but either worked for me. I suspect it will be the same for most other source control systems.
For more info on using RoboSource control, see: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-archive/robohelp/articles/robosource.html

Issue with migrating 'WI' using 'TFS migration tool' when trying migrate from '2013 to 2013'

Hi ,
Our final destination is to migrate projects from TFS-2010 to TFS-2013, for testing and familiarizing with the
migration tool we trying to migrate project within the 2013 server and between two servers of 2013,
we don't have any issues with migrating source code, we done it successfully,
but when we try to migrate 'WI' within same server and also tried to between two server we are getting two
different errors respectively when tried within server and between server, unable to migrate 'WI' in any scenario, log files attached for the same. Log file 'error-1' is the errors generated while trying migrate 'wI' within the same server and 'error-2' is
the errors generated while trying migrate 'wI' between two server, Need ur guidelines to over come these issues.

Hi Sham,
Based on your description, I'd like to know the version of TFS integration tools you're using and the error details when migrate work items. If you use TFS integration tools 2012, please make sure you have Team Explorer 2012 installed on your server machine.
Please also let us know the configuration you used for the migartion. If you migrate between different domains, make sure the domains have two-way trust relationship. If the issue persists, check the event logs to see if there any useful information and
elaborate more details about your scenario with screenshots.

How to configure sendmail to use multiple LDAP servers ?

Hi everybody!
I have a sendmail running on Solaris 10 and a LDAP server(192.168.1.9) also running Solaris 10 OS. I have configured the sendmail the following way:
bash-3.00# ldapclient list
NS_LDAP_FILE_VERSION= 2.0
NS_LDAP_BINDDN= cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=email,dc=reso,dc=ru
NS_LDAP_BINDPASSWD= {NS1}*********************
NS_LDAP_SERVERS= 192.168.1.9
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_BASEDN= dc=email,dc=domain,dc=ru
NS_LDAP_AUTH= simple
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_REF= FALSE
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_SCOPE= sub
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_TIME= 30
NS_LDAP_CACHETTL= 43200
NS_LDAP_PROFILE= default
NS_LDAP_CREDENTIAL_LEVEL= proxy
NS_LDAP_BIND_TIME= 10
I also have another LDAP server (IP 192.168.1.10). It is configured as a replicant of the 192.168.1.9 LDAP server.
The question is how can i configure sendmail to use both LDAP servers ?
The man pages explain how to configure ldapclient to use ONE server and what if want to use two or more? All the settings and the profiles the same.
Thanks in advance =))

Hi!
To add LDAP servers to the Solaris ldapclient, you might use the ldapclient command:
ldapclient manual -v -a defaultServerList="servera.yourdomain.com serverb.yourdomain.com"
But this is only failover, AFAIK the Solaris ldapclient does not perform loadbalancing by itself.
But I am not sure about your sendmail programm. Normally, sendmail has its own configuration
and can be configured to use LDAP e.g. for aliases etc.
Regards!

I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. Any suggestions would be great please.

I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I did this initially as our school internet connection was stopping us from being able to update the IOS and our County was offering a managed system, Lightspeed, which took control of every device in school which proved very expensive. I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. As we frequently use the ipads as cameras this is causing us a problem. We have a school imac that I use to keep the devices updated with Apple Configurator (not connected to our network), and this doesn't seem to offer any solution to download them either. I was told there was a setting in Apple Configurator to allow other computers to download from supervised devices, but I can't see it anywhere. I am very new to this so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated please.

I assume you are wanting to take the photos and movies off the iPads?
Connect the iPad to a Apple computer. Open "Image Capture". Any photos or video can me imported to the desktop or other location on your computer.
I had this same problem last year and as we have no wifi I asked lots of people at Apple what I could do - no one provided this answer (a little unbelievable!). If you have wifi using something like dropbox would be an easier solution.
Hope this helps

Error: The Task has failed to load on Execute Package Task using TFS Build and MSBuild.exe on dedicated Build Machine.

I'm trying to automate my building and deployment of SSIS packages using TFS build definitionss in conjunction with MSBuild.exe on a separate build machine.
I have successfully built and deployed my projects but receive the following error:
Error: Failed to load task "etl_UWP_Stage_tstg_7_Large",type "". The contact information for this task is "Microsoft Corporation: Microsoft SQL Server .... "
This error happens at runtime as well as if I perform a "Validate..." on the SSIS Catalog on the server.
This only occurs when trying to execute a package that contains an Execute Package Task. Any other packages that are doing the actual work are working just fine.
In addition, when I do the MSBuild from my developer machine with the same deployment process everything works fine, even the Execute Package Task.
I can even open up the project on the build machine in VS2012, rebuild all, then deploy and everything works fine.
Some things I've considered/verified:
1) Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio Data Tools 2012 are both on the build machine and my local machine.
2) The .NET version being used by VS2012 is the same on the build machine and my local machine.
3) I find it suspicious that the "Type" referenced in the error above is blank...but not sure where to go with that.
4) Obvious difference is that during the TFS Build and Deploy on the build machine, everything is running under the TFS Service account, rather than my account...once again...not sure where to go with this, but it is a significant difference.
Has anyone had similar issues or have any thoughts on things to try?
Thanks,
Jason

Not sure why I couldn't find this answer in my earlier searches...
But this thread solved it for me:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/3aa1e324-da32-4ea0-865c-c69f610ef262/failed-to-load-execute-package-task-error?forum=sqlintegrationservices
Essentially I had to install SSIS on the build machine so that the 64-bit version for
ExecPackageTask.dll, was available. I did this from the original media CD selection Integration Services as a feature.
Hope this helps someone in the future.

How to configure Firefox to use OpenVPN?

summary: I'm running OpenVPN from a Debian client through a Debian jumpbox/server. After I [start the server, start the client] most IP-based applications (DNS, ping, ssh) seem to work from the client, but client's Firefox cannot connect to http://www.whatismyip.com/ (or any other URI). How to configure Firefox to use the VPN? or otherwise fix the problem? or further debug it?
details:
I have a laptop running debian_version==jessie/sid with Firefox version=33.0 which needs to access a compute cluster. The cluster formerly required only an SSL VPN (enabled by a Firefox plugin) to access, but now has several additional requirements, which I seek to satisfy by running the SSL VPN through a jumpbox running an OpenVPN server. The jumpbox is running a "vanilla" Debian 7.7.
I have been using the laptop successfully for a few years without network problems. Currently I have the laptop connected by wire directly to an ISP-supplied modem/router. With `openvpn` NOT running on the laptop, I see:
* `ifconfig` shows no entry='tun0' (just "the usual" entries for 'eth0', 'lo', 'wlan0'), and shows the expected client IP# bound to 'eth0'.
* I can `ping` my jumpbox/server using its real IP#, but cannot `ping 10.8.0.1`
* I can `ssh` to my jumpbox/server using its real IP#, but cannot `ssh 10.8.0.1`
* `nslookup www.whatismyip.com` gives correct results
* browsing to http://www.whatismyip.com/ shows my client's IP# (as also shown in `ifconfig`)
Both my client/laptop and server/jumpbox setups are quite generic OpenVPN-wise, and are almost exactly as described on the Debian wiki

... but I get no connection if I open a new instance of Firefox and browse to http://www.whatismyip.com/ :-( "Looking up www.whatismyip.com..." succeeds quickly but the status line continues to display "Connecting to www.whatismyip.com..." until the attempt times out. I also get the same behavior (connection timeout) if I open a new instance of Chrome, or if I browse to http://www.whatismyip.com/ with a Firefox opened prior to starting OpenVPN. FWIW I get the same behavior browsing to any URI, including (e.g.) Google.
This is a major problem for me! For the SSL VPN to work, I need to start a Firefox and run it (since the SSL VPN's vendor only supports it on Linux via a Firefox plugin) to access a particular remote-access website. Furthermore I need the SSL VPN to run through the jumpbox/OpenVPN. (Don't ask, it's a long, sad story ...)
Is there something I must do to configure Firefox to use the VPN? Or is there some other way to fix this?
Alternatively, what should I do to further debug the problem? It just seems odd to me that the other services work (e.g., `nslookup`, `ssh`) but Firefox does not. That being said, both Firefox and Chrome fail in this usecase, so the problem might be generic to web browsers.
your assistance is appreciated, Tom Roche <[email protected]>

You're kidding. You have to go through that rigamarole just to put your bookmarks on your own server? Where's the simple FTP option?
Also, the above-linked article has a broken link. The link to the weaveserver (which is what you have to set up on your own server) is no good, and there is no obvious replacement. There are plenty of Weave-related repositories here:
http://hg.mozilla.org/labs
but it's not clear what you need.

Best practice using TFS 2013 to report on developer time

Here is my issue:
Last year, I stood up a TFS instance for myself since I was the only developer in IT. Since then we have created a new application development department and pulled in devs who were previously working in other departments outside of IT. Our CIO
has needs to be able to see how much time we as devs are assigned to overall work, which is also something our PMs need to see when planning projects. Since we're using TFS for project and source control, I want to be able to send any metrics out of
it to show how much time during the month that each dev has been assigned work. I know that time isn't actually tracked in a Task, so I was going to report on task assigned and remaining work vs. completed work. That is something I can do on each
individual project I have in TFS, but how can I do that across multiple projects?
One idea I had was moving all of our current projects under one project and using Areas for each separate project, but I'm leery of doing this since that project will be using TFS version control and there may be an instance in the future where we may need
to use GIT. Any suggestions would be welcomed to help us accomplish our goals.

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply.
Which message you received when you tried to export work item query to Excel? After you saved the work item query in VS, you can click
Open Query in Microsoft Excel to open query in Excel.
Below is a code snippet about how to get work items’ fields from query:
TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs =
new
TfsTeamProjectCollection(new
Uri("collectionURL"));
tfs.EnsureAuthenticated();
WorkItemStore workitemstores = tfs.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
try
… this wiql will get all task work item from team project. You can create your custom work item query, then save this query as a .wiq file in local path, then open this .wiq file and you will find the wiql string in it.
string wiql =
SELECT [System.Id], [System.WorkItemType], [System.Title], [System.AssignedTo], [System.State] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = ‘TeamProjectName’
AND [System.WorkItemType] = 'Task' ORDER BY [System.Id]
ASC";
Query qry =
new
Query(workitemstores, wiql,
null,
false);
ICancelableAsyncResult car = qry.BeginQuery();
WorkItemCollection wic = qry.EndQuery(car);
foreach (WorkItem
wi in wic)
   Console.WriteLine(wi.Id);
… get more work item field values…
catch(Exception
e)
Console.WriteLine(e);
