Release Management 2013 Update 3 doesn't display retry button

When using Release management 2013 Update 3. I do not get a button to retry failed releases. I am viewed one answer on here that states the release needs to be automatically created from a build. I tried that solution and it still does not appear.
I am the Release Manager and I have every permission given to my account. Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks

Hi Release Mgmt,
Thanks for your post.
First, please upgrade your Release Management 2013 Update 3 to Release Management 2013 Update 4. Then run your TFS build to trigger the release template, if the release not be executed successfully, open the release in RM Client>>Releases tab, you
will see that Retry Failed Deployment button. Please refer to the discussions and answer reply in this post:

Release Management 2013 Server Web Site throwing "Data at the root level is invalid..." error after applying RM 2013 Update 4

I upgraded our RM Server from 2013 Update 2 to Update 4. During smoke testing, I discovered that the RM approval website would get stuck and display a loading wheel when showing the list of releases. After rebooting the server and uninstalling and reinstalling,
I eventually got it to load the web site just fine, however the windows event log is displaying thousands of instances of the same error (about once a second).

Extension manager CC update failed download error retry (49)

Trying to update extension manager CC. get an update failed - download error retry (49). Have retried several times without success

The Video app in OS7 update doesn't display file names.

The Video app in OS7 doesn't display file names under the image.
How can I identify my video files without having to open each file to access the file name.
Is there something I am missing or is this just an omission in the OS7 upgrade.
I am a music teacher and this lack of file names makes the app virtually useless for use in the classroom.

Agreed. This has been a problem with TV Shows in the Videos app since forever, but at least it used to put the name under Movies. Now instead fixing it for TV Shows in iOS 7 they've done the opposite and made Movies fail the same way as TV Shows always have!
Apparently it still lists the title for Home Videos, so the best work around for now is probably to reclassify all your Movies as Home Videos. Sigh.
Apple's Videos app development team seem to be unaware that iTunes can store and play movies and TV shows that don't come from the iTunes Store, videos that don't have covers, and that need to display the names and other info from iTunes for them. They also seem to not understand that the default grid view for videos is totally inadequate for users with scores or hundreds of movies and TV shows that they home share to their iPads and iPhones from iTunes. The Videos app needs a list view at least, as well as a grid view.
All they have to do is look at how the Apple TV handles the same files and meta-data from iTunes and provide something similar for the iPad and iPhone. Why after all these years they still don't get that I have no idea.

Media Manager loads to "Switch To or Retry" Buttons

This has been going on for some time, but it's finally gotten to the point that it's annoying.
I run Media Manager on my PC so I can stream music into my bedroom when I go to sleep. (Radio stations around here leave a lot to be desired, and the only good station I happen to like can not be streamed through the Media Manager program, since Corus does everything through a Flash based stand alone player. Such is life in the slow lane.) When I start Media Manager to get it ready for the night, it immediately brings up a dialog box saying something along the lines that the program needs attention and it offers the buttons "Switch To..." Or "Retry" and the "Cancel" button is grayed out. After hitting either Retry or Switch To... about 3 to 5 times, Media Manager usually loads up at that point.
Now I don't know if it's because I'm running my music through a 1 TB external, if Tech Specs changed on Media Manager that require more RAM or such, or if it's just the program being bonkers on a Windows 7 64 Bit OS despite he fact that it does run it in a program files (x86) format, which I'm lead to believe is the 32 bit format, or what is the problem. I wouldn't think that it has to do with the computer being Wi-Fi, but I won't dismiss that either. I just don't understand why it's going into this, and I don't know what the fix is. I have installed any updates that were needed, and I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Media Manager as well.
Any help or ideas on how to fix this annoying problem?

That "Switch to program" or "retry" is a windows errors that's coming up. Windows is having trouble with the program. I have not heard of it happening with the Media Manager before. If there was some issue with the software, we would have seen this pop up with other customers. I am not sure what it is about the computer that's causing this. Maybe it's in competition with another program? Only suggestion I can think of to try to isolate it is to run the computer in safe mode and see if it does it there as well.

Release Management - too slow to run my scripts

I've setup Release Management 2013 Update 4 to use powershell scripts to do my deployments (I found limitations with both DSC and Agent releases so went down the powershell route).
Functionality wise it is all working exactly how I want it to and I am quite pleased, however the big issue I have is that it is very slow.
There are 5 separate scripts in my deployment (run DB scripts, deploy wep app, copy client MSI, copy service MSI, send email) and when I run these via PowerShell they run very fast - in a couple of seconds.
However, when running these from RM it takes about 5 minutes. It seems as if RM does the following:
Upload components
Say I'm going to do the Database scripts action
Wait 30 seconds
Run the database scripts (this is very quick - I log the output so I know this for a fact)
Wait 30 second
Say the database scripts have finished
Say I'm going to deploy the web app
Wait 30 seconds
Deploy the web app (this is also very quick - I also log the output so I also know this for a fact)
Wait 30 seconds
Say the web app is deployed
... and so on
Why are these 30 second pauses in there? It is making my release process slower than doing it manually!
(BTW - I have installed WMF4 on all servers, enabled PSRemoting, installed a certificate and set WinRM to run over https)
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply.
You added 5 Deploy Using PS/DSC actions in your release template to running that 5 separate scripts? RM need copy the component source package to component download folder in each Deploy Using PS/DSC action first, then run the script file which specified
in this action. So it will wait some seconds before script file be executed in each action. I test this scenario in my RM 2013 Update 4 release template, and received the same result.

Release Management vNext deployment succeeds without deploying the DSC to the target.

All of a sudden, a couple of weeks ago, our vNext releases stopped working.
The log in the release management client says that the release has been deployed successfully, but nothing has actually happened on the target server. The log looks like this (which is bad)...
Copying recursively from \\xxxxx.co.nz\Public\Share\Development\Builds\DispatchService_MAIN\DispatchService_MAIN_1.1.7.0\DispatchService\_PublishedWebsites\DispatchService to C:\Windows\DtlDownloads\DispatchService Component succeeded.
That's all it says. No error, no nothing.
It used to look like this (which was good)...
Copying recursively from \\xxx.co.nz\Public\Share\Development\Builds\SosService_MAIN\SosService_MAIN_1.1.32.0\SOSWindowsService to C:\Windows\DtlDownloads\SosServices succeeded.
Perform operation 'Invoke CimMethod' with following parameters, ''methodName' = SendConfigurationApply,'className' = MSFT_DSCLocalConfigurationManager,'namespaceName' = root/Microsoft/Windows/DesiredStateConfiguration'.

etc etc
I have tried many things, and have discovered some clues, but have filed to find a solution.
It seems that it is successfully creating the .mof file on the "Deploy using PS/DSC Server" but then it deletes the .mof file and does not try to do a Start-DscConfiguration with the .mof file.
This is very frustrating, as we have sunk an awful lot of time and money into Microsoft Release Manager.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Leighton,
Thanks for your post.
You’re using TFS 2013 Update 4 and Release Management 2013 Update 4?
Do you mean that the files be copied to C:\Windows\DtlDownloads\DispatchServices folder on target machine as expect, but no file be executed to perform the deploy?
You said the release template works fine a couple of weeks ago, do you know which changes happened on this release template after that week?
Only this current one release template cannot works? Or if you create a new release template to run DSC deploy, it will receive the same result too?

Dear Charles-Li,
Thank you so much for your reply.
we started using Release Management Update 1 and it was worked perfectly fine. then we move to upgrade existing Release Management(server,
Database and agent) with Update 3, which we did, and its working fine except lots of error as mentioned in above thread, are getting logged in server event log at regular interval till now(3-4 errors every second).
even though lots of error are getting logged but we are not facing any issue while using Release Management with update 3.
But i am bit curious to know out reason for getting those error.
<<clean
the cache folder and restrat Release Management and try again>>
already tried but no luck.
Thanks!!

Release Management and Dsc - How to queue a build when a release is in progress?

I have VSO and Release Management 2013.4 working and deploying to Azure vm's via DSC
The build profile is set to trigger on commit to the Git repo and the release template is set to be triggered on successful build from TFS
However if a developer commits in quick succession the resultant builds cause releases to overlap in RM? - this causes some of the releases to fail with a DSC error ("the consistency check or pull cmdlet is in progress....")
Is there a way to force RM to prevent concurrent releases? (based on the same release template and build profile)

Thats correct - in this instance its VSO as source control and using the hosted release management to attempt to deploy to azure vms
And yes build takes about 5 minutes but the release template can take up to 15 minutes to run - this means that a second build can cause the same release template to run again (its set to trigger on build)
Error log from RM

I can't work out if my target machine (2008 R2 SP1) has a problem with WMA 3.0 or if the Release Template can't find the powershell script that I'm trying to call. I figured that the relative path to the script could be wrong and have tried numerous
iterations to no effect.  The error clearly points to a problem with WMA right?
The target machine has .Net Framework 4.0, WMA Framework 3.0 and I can run Enter-PSSession to remote to it etc...
Before I trash and rebuild my target machine I hoping someone may have some insight to my problem?
Thanks in Advance
Jason

Daniel,
The PS Script is taken from an MSDN blog and is fairly standard. I'm sure it will run fine when executed, but I've not run it as it requires environment variables ($applicationPath) that will be present in the Release Management session calling it.
Here's the script :-
configuration InstallModules
    param
        # Target nodes to apply the configuration
        [string[]]$NodeName = 'localhost',
        # Source Path for Modules
        [String]$SourcePath = "$applicationPath\Deploy\Modules",
        # Destination path for Modules
        [String]$DestinationPath = "$env:ProgramFiles\WindowsPowershell\Modules"
    Node $NodeName
        # Copy the Modules
        File ModuleContent
            Ensure          = "Present"
            SourcePath      = $SourcePath
            DestinationPath = $DestinationPath
            Recurse         = $true
            Type            = "Directory"
InstallModules
Thanks

Release Management Azure Pack (website cloud)

Is it possible to integrate Release Management 2013 with Azure Pack? (as in deploying to for example an on premise website cloud using the controls that Release Management provides?)

Hi Kameel88,
Thanks for your reply.
According the information in this
document, we can download the publish file from Azure Pack web site to deploy TFS web application to Azure Pack, so I think you create the PowerShell script to run that publish file, and invoke/run this PS Script in your release template to complete the
deploy. http://www.visualstudio.com/get-started/deploy-no-agents-vs.
For more information about deploy to Windows Azure Pack, please post in
Azure Pack forum for the better response.

TVUR + DFS-R Manage Repository - Update View doesn't display downloaded udpates

About 2-3 months ago our tvur started exhibiting some weird behavior and randomly stopped displaying udpates that are downloaded in the repository. thininstaller will continue to install the updates but it makes it really difficult to manage the updates as you can't set them to active etc.
The xml file looks fine from what I can see but for whatever reason it just won't display the existing updates. My previous fix was to set up the repositor from scratch, but that's a pain and I'd like to avoid downloading udpates again so they can replicate to our 20-30 sites.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sir you are brilliant
for those running his checker tool. Make sure you run it as a user with rights to the read and write to the repository. It will check if you only have read, but it won't auto download the descriptors (if necessary).
Worked like a dream and my TVUR is working again.

T60 Laptop Doesn't Display On-Screen Volume After Hotkey Features Integration Update

I have a ThinkPad T60 (2008-HC6) laptop running Windows 8 Pro (32-bit). Today (1-24-2013), I installed the "Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 8" update that was released on January 18, 2013. After reboot, the on-screen indicator that pops up when I change the volume on my laptop by pressing the volume up, volume down, or mute keys doesn't show up. The keys work fine, but the indicator doesn't display.
I've already tried looking for a solution online. One common solution, installing Lenovo Energy Management, didn't solve my problem. No other software was changed on my laptop between when the power indicator last worked and when I installed the Hotkeys update.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I figured out the problem was with the "On Screen Display" portion of the update. This particular update has two parts to it. First, it adds the "Lenovo Patch Utility" program. Second, it updates the "On Screen Display" program, assuming that an older version was already on the computer being updated. Adding the "Lenovo Patch Utility" didn't cause any harm, but updating the "On Screen Display" prevents the on-screen volume indicator from displaying.
Ultimately, what I ended up doing was removing the "On Screen Display" with the same utility that I used to update it. Then I downloaded the next newest version of the utility and installed that utility's version of the "On Screen Display" program.
My on-screen volume indicator is now back and running fine.
