TFS 2012 - Priority being changed through web browser

A couple of strange things have been happening to our 2012 TFS instance running the Scrum template.
Our Microsoft.VSTS.Common.BacklogPriority field, which I've renamed "User Ranking" seems to have a life of it's own. Two separate users have apparently changed hundreds of our PBI Priorities accidentally through the web browser interface. They
have not gone into each PBI or have knowingly done this, they were just browsing the backlog - it's just happened.
Has anyone come across anything like this before? Could it be a bug in TFS? An issue with me renaming the Backlog Priority field?
Thanks,
Andrew
Sad old developer

Hi,
I do not believe it is possible to turn off auto updating of backlog priority in Scrum template or Stack Rank in Agile template as of now. If this is allowed to be disabled then I think it is required to disable the capability of prioritizing backlog using
 drag and drop altogether. I am a fan of this drag and drop capability so I admit I am biased in this.
Look at the explanation of the fields here 
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2014/05/14/behind-the-scenes-the-backlog-priority-or-stack-rank-field.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd983994.aspx
I think you may have to suggest this in https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/category/30925-team-foundation-server
Cheers!
Chaminda
PS
This is what
Ewald Hofman (TFS Program Manager) says
" The Backlog Priority field was always intended to be a system field, and our recommendation is to not update
field manually." in http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2014/05/14/behind-the-scenes-the-backlog-priority-or-stack-rank-field.aspx
May be the ideal suggestion for this is... this field should not be editable -- Readonly .. or completely invisible as jdlaw64 says

    Hello,
    check if when you configured your new transaction type ZLFN you have included a corresponding entry in view CRMC_SERVICE_H.
    If the transaction type is missing in this view, you have this error.

  • Do mac os get virus through web browsing ?

    Hi, i wonder if mac can be infected by virus through web browsing ?
    If yes, how can i protect myself. I have also installed some third party app how can i check if my computer is clean or not.

    You can be caught by some malware through uncareful browsing. To protect yourself simply avoid websites you know nothing about, don't click on a link unless you know what will happen, ignore any pop-ups or alerts telling you that you must immediately download something in order to protect or clean up your computer. These are all scams or are aimed at Windows machines.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • Passing through XML in HTML forms without it being displayed in Web Browser

    Dear all
    I have some MapViewer XML stored in a variable, which I wish to pass through a HTML form. However whenever I insert the variable into the form and run the procedure, my web browser starts reading the actual XML and treating it as HTML, since it is only part of a complete XML script. Even if it was a complete XML script, it would still try and display it. Is there away of making sure the value is passed through without being read by the browser?
    For example:
    PROCEDURE DISPLAY
    AS
    var_xml VARCHAR2(32767) :='<theme name="theme_county"/>';
    htp.print('<INPUT TYPE = "hidden"
                      NAME ="var_xml"
                      VALUE = "' || var_xml || '" />Then causes the output to the browser to become:
    htp.print('<INPUT TYPE = "hidden"
                      NAME ="var_xml"
                      VALUE = "<theme name="theme_county"/>" />The browser is of course reading the XML as HTML.
    Kind regards
    Tim

    Dear all
    I have now resolved the problem by submitting values which can then be used to recreate the xml in another function, rather than actually submitting the xml itself through the forms. This makes more sense and avoids people having to see any of the xml.
    Kind regards
    Tim

  • Opening a specific page of a PDF through web browser not working with IE5.5

    Hi,
    I need an urgent help to reslove the problem below.
    Using Netscape 4.7, When I am trying to open a specific page of
    a PDF file through the web browser using the command below.
    web.show_document('http://oraweb/abc.pdf#page=3','_self');
    This opens the page 3 and then when I give subsequent calls to
    this command with different page nunbers, it opens the related
    pages correctly.
    But when using IE 5.5, the page gets displayed correctly for
    only the firt time. Any calls to the command does not change the
    page at all.
    Could anybody help me to resolve this problem ASAP?
    Thanks
    Preji

    Hello,
    I think this is a problem of IE5.5 with PDF-Files.
    You can find more information at acrobat web site
    (perhaps there is a patch)
    There is a setting in the reader where you can say that
    the reader should start in the web-browser. Turn it off -
    when IE starts downloading a pdf-file you can choose
    acrobat reader for the first time.

  • OMS is up and running but unable to get the console page through web browser

    Hi All,
    I have a wierd issue here.  I have my OMS running successfully, but I am not able access it through HTTPS connection in web browser.  My version of OEM is 11.1.0.1
    It was working till yesterday, I am not sure what happened suddenly that its not accessible anynore.
    I can successfully start and stop my OMS and it gives the status update also .
    Also, my agents can not connect to the OMS , I see that last succesfull OMS heartbeat is not current .
    Any advice for the places to look in will help.  I tried to find the logs under sysman but nothing was there. Also , since I am able to start and stop the OMS successfully I dont have error logs.
    I believe in 11g , when we start OMS , HTTP services also start ? , still I am unable to access it.
    Let me know if any of you can you guide me through it.
    Thanks,
    Krishna.

    Looking over you configuration, it looks like you perhaps have a typo in your weblogic-ejb-jar.xml resource reference. In your weblogic-ra.xml you have defined the JNDI name to be MctEIS11/connFctryCCA but in your resource reference in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml, you have defined the JNDI name as MctEIS11/connFctryCCA1. In applications where we have an RA and EJB clients, these JNDI names are usually defined as the same and we take advantage of the fact that the resource ref definition in the EJB descriptor makes the resource application scoped (vs. global scoped) so we will usually do application scoped JNDI lookups from within the EJB (i.e. ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/MctEIS11/connFctryCCA")). We do this because we support the WL production redeployment feature which defines as a best practice that all application references be defined at the application scope so they are self contained and not shared between multiple versions of the app that are deployed simultaneously. Your situation may not require use of application scoped lookups so I do not want to give you the impression that it is required. Just sharing our configuration in hopes that it may help you resolve your issue.

  • Accessing files through web-browser

    Does anyone know of a global way to disable the ability to browse a directory structure of a BEA domain through a web browser.
    For example, if a user knows of a directory within a domain, and that directory does not contain an index.jsp file, the user will see the files. How can we prevent this without putting an index.jsp file in every directory?

    Yes - The NMH is a local network device, and you can store/retrieve files on it using the computers on your home network using either Windows Explorer, or connecting to it in Linux/MacOS as a Samba share.
    However: The NMH requires an Internet connection to dowload firmware updates, and - If my experiences today are anything to go on - You'll need to have up to date Flash support in your web browser to be able to configure and administrate the thing.

  • Unable to save changes in web browser.

    We have a PDF form that has been created to allow users to fill it out and save the changes made. The PDF was created with Adobe Acrobat 9 and our users are using Adobe Reader X. When they open the document inside a web browser (both FireFox and IE), the form can be edited, but says only a blank copy can be saved locally. However, if they first save the PDF locally without opening it in a browser, then make changes, they can save the whole thing. Is there a setting in the web browsers that needs to be changed?

    OK, that particular file is not Reader-enabled, which means that Adobe Reader will not be able to save any changes after it has been filled in. You said that they can if they open the form outside of a web browser and impied they were using Adobe Reader 10. So, here are some possibilites:
    1. They are indeed using Adobe Reader when opening the form outside of the web browser, but the version of the form they have has been Reader-enabled. This would mean that the version they're seeing in their browser is different than the version on their local system. This is probably not the case, but it's possible.
    2. They are in fact not using Adobe Reader when viewing the form outside of a browser, but are using a PDF viewer that allows them to save a non-Reader-enabled document. Such viewers include Adobe Acrobat, the Preview application on a Mac, Foxit Reader, Nitro PDF Reader, and a few others.
    In any case, Adobe Reader is not capable of saving a filled-in form that has not been Reader-enabled. So you just need to get more details to find out exactly what's going on.

  • Changing Default Web Browser After Reboot

    Hello,
    I am using Webkit as my default browser and every time I reboot the machine, it keeps changing my default web browser back to Safari.
    I have used the settings in the preferences pane in Safari and applied the changes and after reboot it still occurs. I have read somewhere (I do not remember what website) that FileVault has something to do with resetting my saved settings. I do have FileVault enabled on my system.

  • Not able to access meeting place 6.0 through Web browser

    Meeting Place version : 6.0
    Issue : Not able to access meeting place through a web browser
    Getting errors regarding database in eventviewer.

    Also, if you reset the "sa" password in Microsoft SQL Server, you will want to reset it in MeetingPlace. Do this by going to the desktop of the Web Server(s), then double click on the orange door on the bottom right, click on the Web Conferencing tab, and re-entering the "sa" password for both the Database Connection and the Slave Database Connection if both are showing.
    Then you may need to restart the "Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing" service.
    If this still does not work, you can open a SQL Server tool such as Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer and try to connect to the SQL server using the "sa" credentials.
