  • TF400893: Team Foundation Server services are not available.

    Hi Gang
    Am getting
    TF400893: Team Foundation Server services are not available. This is most likely caused by a network error. Please check your connection and try again.
    consistently when trying to access TFS2012 Web Access.  I'm on the same domain as the server and able to login however as soon as I try and access a query it asks me to log in again and then presents me with the above message.
    Any thoughts am trying to get as many ports open as possible however security's pretty tight here.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Thanks for your feedback!
    I recommend you install TFS Power Tools and run a Team Foundation Server Complete Health Check and see if it helps.

  • Team Foundation Error (TF246021) - SQL Server Error: 2601

    Hello, we are using VS 2010 Premium and we are having difficulty queueing builds.  We are right-clicking on the "Builds" node under our project and selecting "Queue New Build...".  The Queue Build window appears, a valid build
    controller is selected, and when we click the Queue button we receive the following error:
    Microsoft Visual Studio
    Team Foundation Error
    TF246021: An error occurred while processing your request.  Technical information (for administrator):  SQL Server Error: 2601
    If anyone can help us out with this it would be GREATLY appreciated :)

    Hi Bruce, 
    Thanks for your post.
    You’re using TFS 2010 SP1?
    Except this queue build definition issue, all other TFS features(source control, work item tracking…) work fine in your TFS Server?
    If another user try to queue build definition from his client using VS, will receive the same error? 
    On your TFS Server machine, open SQL Server Management Studio and try connect to your TFS 2010’s SQL Server, ensure SQL Server can be connected successfully from TFS Server machine.
    Additionally, you can execute TFS Power Tools BPA to scan the installation of your TFS 2010 Server.

  • (BUG??) Team Foundation Server 2013 Update 4 Support for SQL 2014

    Scenario: On Windows 2012 R2 x64 I have installed SQL, Reporting Services & AS 2014 (applied all updates through Windows Update), SharePoint 2013 Foundation, and installed Team Foundation Server 2013 RTM (did not configure).
    Before configuring TFS, I applied Update 4 to the server (not update 1,2 or 3 directly). When trying to configure I get the following error:
    ==========================
    TF255146: Team Foundation Server requires SQL Server 2012 SP1 (11.00.3000) or greater. The SQL Server instance you supplied is version 12.0.2254.0.
    TF400403: The Report Server instance specified is version 12.0.2254.0, the minimum supported version is 11.0.3000.
    TF400070: A required version of a component is not installed on the application tier. You must exit the Team Foundation Administration Console and install a supported version of either SQL Server Analysis Services of the SQL Server Client Tools on the application
    tier to ensure that the Analysis Services object model is present for warehouse processing.
    ====================================
    My understanding is that as of Update 2 (or was it 3) that SQL 2014 was supported. However it appears if that particular update is not installed directly it bypasses the check. Can someone verify I am seeing the intended result or is this a bug?

  • Team Foundation Server 2013 Express licensing issues - error TF400409

    We've installed Team Foundation Server Express 2013 update 3.  When I go to a project/team and attempt to use the Backlog or Task Board functions under Work, or use the Team Rooms I get the following error message:
    TF400409  You do not have licensing rights to access this feature: Backlog and sprint planning tools
    TF400409  You do not have licensing rights to access this feature: Agile boards
    TF400409  You do not have licensing rights to access this feature: Team Rooms
    Are these features truly not included with the Express version of TFS or is something wrong with our install?

    Hi Dave,  
    Thanks for your reply.
    I checked and confirmed in TFS Express, as you said, there’s no the Access level feature in TFS 2013 Express Web Access, and TFS 2013 Express not support the backlog/sprint planning, Agile task board and Team room, it’s by design.
    You can download VS 2013 document from
    here, and check the Client Licensing Requirement for Team Foundation Server section in this document for more information.

  • TFS Power Tool 2013 Process Editor won't launch

    I installed VSTF 2013 (Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013) and also TFS Power Tool (12.0).  I rebooted after installing and then launched VSTF successfully and connected to my Team Project successfully.  I then go to ""Tools>Process
    Editor>Work Item Types>Open WIT from Server" and nothing happens.  Tried uninstalling/reinstalling both VSTF and Power Tool and still same behavior.  TFS Process Template Editor is also installed.  Running on Windows 8.1.  Can
    anyone help me?

    Hi joelkr,
    I'd like to know whether you have installed Visual Studio on your server. If you use TFS 2013 power tools, please make sure to fit for the prerequisites. TFS 2013 power tools require VS pro and up, see this
    page for more information. And you can install Visual Studio 2013 Pro and up to check if the issue can be resolved.

  • Team Foundation Server 2013 trace doesn't work

    I'm trying to turn on tracing on my TFS 2013 instance. To do this I'm modifying C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation
    Server 12.0\Application Tier\Web Services\web.config file like this:
    <appSettings>
    <add key="traceWriter" value="true" />
    <add key="traceDirectoryName" value="%TEMP%\\TFLogFiles" />
    </appSettings>
    <system.diagnostics>
    <assert assertuienabled="false" />
    <trace autoflush="false" indentsize="4" />
    <switches>
    <add name="API" value="4" />
    <add name="Authentication" value="4" />
    <add name="Authorization" value="4" />
    <add name="Database" value="4" />
    <add name="General" value="4" />
    <!-- WorkItem trace switches -->
    <add name="traceLevel" value="4" />
    </switches>
    </system.diagnostics>
    After these manipulations log files appear but they are not verbose at all. I tried the same step with 2 different TFS
    2013 deployments and got no results. I also tried this technique with TFS 2010 and it works.
    Has anybody tried this feature with TFS 2013 or has precise  instructions how to turn off detailed tracing on TFS 2013 (I found the only good article for
    outdated TFS 2010: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bryang/archive/2011/11/14/tracing-in-team-foundation-server-2010.aspx)

    Hi Shkleinik & Kevin,
    TFS 2013 includes low-level tracing for diagnosing complex server problems. You can refer to the page below for tracing configuration for TFS 2013, chekc if it works.
    http://larzjoakimnilzzon.blogspot.in/2012/04/tracelogging-configuration-in-team.html
    If it doesn't work and you want to report to MS, then you can submit it to Microsoft Connect Feedback portal at:
    https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio. Microsoft engineers will evaluate it seriously.

  • Monitoring Team Foundation Server

    Hello,
    We have a two server deployment for Team Foundation Server 2013 with Database Tier on one server and Application tier on another.
    To effectively manage and maintain both the servers/applications/Database, my organization is looking at options.
    I suggested use of SCOM to monitor resources, services, etc. We are looking at options like activebatch - an application that is a Job Scheduler. activebatch is a consideration because we already have a license of the product.
    Using activebatch, we are supposed to schedule jobs (written in PowerShell, SQL Server and whatever may be required) that will monitor certain parameters/resources of the Servers/Application/Database. Please suggest what parameters can be considered for
    monitoring. What all is required to be monitor.
    I understand that SCOM Provides, out-of-box management packs to do such activity, I just need an answer as to why SCOM is better than scheduling hand-crafted jobs for monitoring.
    I am in favour of SCOM but organization requires explanations to why not activebatch.
    Thanks in advance!!
    Best Regards,
    Yogesh

    Hi Yogesh,
    Based on your description, seems it's not a real TFS question. For the options to monitor TFS servers, it depends on your own decision.
    You can let your organization know more information about the features and benefits of SCOM. Please refer to the links below for more info:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Center_Operations_Manager
    http://www.systemcentercentral.com/the-top-5-benefits-of-combining-operations-manager-and-sharepoint-scom-sysctr-sharepoint/
    And you can also consider to integrate SCOM with activebatch, check this
    page for more information.

  • Team Foundation Server 2013 update 4 New Install - Error 503 Service Unavailable for Sharepoint Central Admin

    Hello,
    I ran a new install of Team Foundation Server and let it install the built in SharePoint pieces on a single server setup. After the install i'm able to access the
    http://teamfoundation:8080/tfs/ address without issue but am unable to create a project. When I attempt to create a project I get the following error:
    TF30172: You do not have permission to create a new team project (when checking security i'm a member of the project collection administrators and Team Foundation Administrators)
    This led me to look at the sharepoint central administration site where I receive the following error:
    Error 503 Service Unavailable
    I've gone through and validated the identity is set correctly in IIS for the following services:
    SharePoint Central Admin v4
    SharePoint15AppPool
    The SharePoint Web Services Root is set as LocalService instead of the domain user.
    The identity domain user is setup as local administrator on the Team Foundation Server. They are all set to use .net v4.0.30319 with integrated Pipeline mode.
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks!

    Hi Eric,      
    Thanks for your post.
    Please share your detailed team project creation log here.
    In your TFS Admin Console>>Extensions for SharePoint Products tab, ensure SharePoint Web Application shows correctly in the right panel. And go to TFS Admin Console>>Application Tier>>SharePoint Web Applications tab, ensure your SharePoint
    web application displays in the right panel, then select your SharePoint web application and click Repair Connection, ensure can repair successfully.
    In your IIS Manager, select your SharePoint Central Administration V4 site and click Browser:17012(http) in the right panel, check if your SharePoint Central site can be opened successfully or not. If your SharePoint Central site cannot be accessed, I think
    this issue relate to your SharePoint site, you should contact SharePoint experts to resolve this issue first. After you resolved this issue and your SharePoint Central Admin site can be accessed correctly, then try to create your team project(within SharePoint
    site) again, if there still has issue when creating team project, please share the detailed error message here, we will try to resolve it.

  • How to populate data for SharePoint Team Foundation Server web part burndown, bug progress chart

    Hi,
    We are configuring the Team Foundation Server web part to show dashboards associated with burndown, user stories, etc. I added some active but when I click on the Bug Progress link, the chart does not display any data. I click on the Burndown link to
    add some issues data. When I click on the Task burndown or the  user story progress, I get the following message
    "The error occured during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source. The following connections failed to refresh:
    TfsOlaReport"
    I would like the see the data correctly populated in the chart. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Comicrage86, 
    Thanks for your post.
    What’s the version of your TFS and SharePoint?
    Do you mean the burndown report and bug progress chart in team project site? If yes, your current team project created using which process template?
    As far as I know team project Release Burndown report shows in team project site by default. How did you add the active to show Bug Progress chart and did you custom your Burndown in team project site? Please share the detailed steps here. And you can share
    your screenshots here, it will help us provide the better response.
    If reports cannot show correctly in your team project site, please check the default reports in your team project>>Reports, ensure that default team project reports working fine in your Reporting Service site first. Then follow the
    steps in this
    article to troubleshooting the SharePoint Dashboards data source issue.
    Or refer to the solution in this post:

  • Setup Team Foundation Server - Team Site Collection - SharePoint Web Application Settings failed with error TF205014, TF250025

    Hi
    I have TFS server installed and working with other SharePoint farm.  (TFS installed,  SharePoint extension installed and Granted Access for TFS.
    When Setup TFS - SharePoint Web Application Settings,  It ask for the three values:
    Web Application URL:  
    Central Administration URL:
    Default Location of team project collection sites:
    What notice about the TFS sites that are working is that they are Path Based Site Collection.  Created with SharePoint Web Application managed path (like
    http://spserver/sites/tfs_site1) and so it easy to see it will work.
    Web Application URL:  http://spserver
    CA URL :   http://spserver:portnumber
    Default Location :  Sites or any managed path
    We start using Host Name Site Collection (HNSC) to get the benefit of multiple unique site name without having multiple web application for each.  Work great but when we tried to setup and extend TFS service on the HNSC, we could
    not get them to work and got errors when trying different variation of path URL.
    After doing lot of searching on this, I came up pretty empty and I don't know if that is possible so my question is Have anyone able to setup TFS to work with SharePoint 2013 Host Name Site Collection?  
    If you have, a simple yes will be great but please share or even if anyone think it is possible or not possible, please share too.
    Thanks in advance for any comment / suggestion.
    Swanl

    Hi  Swanl,
    I’m afraid that we cannot setup TFS to work  with SharePoint 2013 Host Name Site Collection.
    Also you can  initial a new thread in Visual Studio Team Foundation Server forums：

    More experts for Team Foundation Server will assist you, then you will get more information relation to your issue.
