TFS 2012 - TFS Cube - at beginning of new month it is missing in field "Work Item.System_CreatedDate__HierarchyByMonth"

We query TFS Cube via Pivot in Excel, and among other, we use the field Work Item.System_CreatedDate__HierarchyByMonth, to filter the result the Cube Pivot Report.
On the first day of each month, we manually change the value of this field in the pivot filter, from previous month to current month. but strangely the current month does not appear in the tree of values for selection, only the previous month is shown. This
is so for roughly half of the first day of the month, and then the current month begins to appear for selection.
The update rate of the TFS Cube in our TFS installation is defined as 2 hours, thus we would expect the current month to appear there for selection already early in the morning... Also to note it is the same after new WIs are defined during the
morning of the first day as above.
Thank u.

Hi Moital,
Thanks for your post.
This issue only happened in your custom Excel pivot report? And all your TFS default reports working fine?
You can try to rebuild warehouse and cube from TFS Admin Console>>Application Tier>>Reporting>>click Start Rebuild option. Or try to manually process your TFS 2012 warehouse and analysis cube, ensure you can process successfully.

TFS Integration Platform Tool - Work Item Tags are lost

Hi Guys,
Scenario 1:
We have used TFS Integration Platform to do a one time one way sync from TFS 2012 to TFS 2013 for workitems. We see that the
workitem tags are lost on the target TFS.
Scenario 2:
Another scenario we tested was a 2 way work items sync
between 2 TFS 2013 servers. Work items get synced but the
workitem tags do not get synced.
Is this a known issue and limitation of the tool?

Hi Nachiket,
For TFS integration tools, there are a few limitations. You can check the limitations section in this
page for more information. Labels cannot be migrated by using TFS integration tools.

One of the user is unable to remove obsolete Tags from new work items and search query

Hi I am new to TFS Administration, User has some obsolete Tags in TFS site which is removed on the Backlogs but user can see those tags when he is creating new work items and while querying the Work Items but he is not able to see any obsolete tags in Backlogs.
TFS version: TFS 2013 SP2
Steps followed:
we queried each tags, we see 0 work items associated with the tags
As per MSDN, we have to remove associated tags which automatically removes the Tags after 3 days
The user is facing the same from past week
Am i missing something? or will the list of Tags be available in new work items and querying WITs? Please help
Thanks in Advance

Hi BE,
I tested this scenario in my TFS 2013 Update 4 Server, and found that Tags will disappear from Tags dropdown list automatically after serverl days, if there’s no any work item associated that Tags.

TFS 2012 work items migration to TFS 2013 along with History,Links/Attachments & Custom fields??

Dear All,
TFS 2012 work items migration to TFS 2013 along with History,Links/Attachments & Custom fields?? is there any way..
Tried couple of tools:
1) Excel based migration : loss of data is custom fields, links, attachments, status
2) few tools in Code plex : Crashing/Not working.
Kindly provide your valuable comments here.
Cheers, Tarun

Hi Tarun,
I'd like to know the tools that you used in CodePlex. Generally, CodePlex project is not supported in MSDN forum, and you can post your questions and concerns in the issue secton of the project.
If you use TFS integration tools, according to this
blog, it is limited to migrating only Version Control items, Work Items, and the links between them. Please check the limiation and have a check with your migration. For the customized fields, you might need to do the same customizatoin on the target
team project.

Link work items across collections, TFS 2012

Hello,
Is it possible to link work items across collections? We have items reported in one collection which are triaged, routed to the correct department where a new bug is opened in the corresponding collection, then closed in the original collection. We
would like to have a direct link between the 2 items. Is there an existing way to do this?
Thanks

Hi Ajn,ny,
Thanks for your post.
As EIKort said, TFS not support link work items in different collections. You need create new bug in the same collection, then create link between work items.

TFS 2010 Team Web Access Work Items not loading dropdowns and not saving

Some of our users have lost their ability to add new work items. When they select New -> Bug the WorkItemEdit page opens, but none of the dropdowns load and required fields are no longer highlighted. When they click save it acts like
it refreshes, but actually nothing is saved and work item numbers are not assigned. No error message is displayed. This also occurs when they try to edit existing work items. We have checked permissions and these have not changed. We have cleared cache
and rebooted the server and local laptops. Is there anywhere else we can check to see what is going on? Anyone else have this issue before? It seems like we are loosing another person's capabilities every day.

Thank you for your help. We have SP1 scheduled for install Monday morning. However, we have been running a lot of tests. We are testing mainly in Chrome and IE 9 browsers.
I was able to get 2 users back up and working. Not sure what fixed them, but I had them log into the server and test there. Accessing the web portal on the server worked for them and when they went back to their laptops their full capabilities
were working there again. I have since removed their rdp access to the server and the capabilities are still working correctly on their laptops.
However, I have a 3rd user that I had log into the server and updating and creating new work items did not work for him. This is the error he receives when opening a work item. This user did try testing in Mozilla one day this week.

TFS work item store is not connecting in production server using server side event handler code

Server side plugin code to connect to work item store
tfs = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri(tfsUri));
store = (WorkItemStore)tfs.GetService(typeof(WorkItemStore));
I used the above code and accessed work item store in my TFS DEV server without username and password. But the same plugin code is not working for the TFS Production server.
Exception:
Account name:
domain\TFSService Detailed Message: : TF30063: You are
not authorized to access http://localhost:8080/tfs/xx. Exception Message: TF30063: You are not
authorized to access http://localhost:8080/tfs/xx
Please guide

Hi divya,
From the error message, you might not have the permissions to get the work item store in TFS production server. You can check the permissions on your production server by using
tfssecurity command in VS command line.
Please execute tfssecurity /imx “domain\username” /collection:url, for more information about tfssecurity /imx, please refer to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms400806.aspx
If you have the permission, then you can also clean team foundation cache and try again.

WSE 2012 R2 Backup keeps failing on new hardwware

Greetings,
After completely rebuilding my WSE 2012 R2 with Update box on new hardware (server class this time) I find I am unable to get Windows Backup to run. It confiures just fine, but continuously fails when attempting the backup itself.
Any suggestions as to where to look or what may be wrong? I am using the same external drive dock as before when everything worked fine, but now cannot backup the server.
Please help,
Bob Hessenauer

All,
Actually the issue came down to something so simple we seem to alwayy7s forget it (not that the error messages were helpful in this case). The problem here was a bad USB cable going from the server to the external dock, once that was replaced with
a new cable everything flew and I am happy to report that backups are running without a hitch.
Let this be a lesson to all - check your cables and replace them if they are getting old or you start getting odd errors with the devices associated with them. Had I done this in the beginning I would have saved myself and an MS Engineer several hours
of troubleshooting that was totally unnecessary7.
To Microsoft - Try the simple answers first,. See if a new cable is available and solves the problem when dealing with external devices and you can save a ton of time and effort.
Hope this helps,
Bob Hessenauer

Create One-to-Many Work Item Links Programmatically in TFS 2013

Hello,
I urgently require some help with this problem please.
I have a number of existing work item types - for illustration purposes, let's call them Work Item Parents and Work Item Children. Remaining details are as follows:
I have thousands of Work Items of type Parents
I have hundreds of Work Items of type Children
The Work Item Parents have a One to Many relationship with the Work Item Children
Both Work Item types have already been added to TFS and we now need to associate or link Parent items with their corresponding Child items.
Due to the sheer number of items described above, linking the Parent items with their respective Child items would be a complete "No-No" as it could take forever to complete and would be prone to error.
What I'm therefore seeking is the ability to programmatically associate or link the two work item types where required.
Any advice on how to achieve this would therefore be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
PS: The link type between my work item types do not necessarily have to be of a Parent-Child relationship. "Related" work items will do just fine.

Hi RegManteaw,
Thanks for your reply.
We can get the wanted Bug work items and Task work items using
WorkItemCollection, you should use the logic code to handle which Task work items linked to which Bug work item. For example, I defined 5 Bug work items within “b1” tag, and 10 Task work items within “t1” in my test
team project, then I run the below code snippet to get that Bug/Task work items and link 2 Task work items to one Bug work item.
TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs =
new
TfsTeamProjectCollection(new
Uri("collectionURL"));
tfs.EnsureAuthenticated();
WorkItemStore workitemstore = tfs.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
try
// get “b1” bug work items(5) from test team project
string wiql =
"SELECT [System.Id] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = 'teamprojectname'
AND [System.WorkItemType] = 'Bug' AND
[System.Tags] CONTAINS 'b1'";
WorkItemCollection Bwic = workitemstore.Query(wiql);
// get “t1” task work items(10) from test team project
string wiql2 =
"SELECT [System.Id] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = 'teamprojectname'
AND [System.WorkItemType] = 'Task' AND
[System.Tags] CONTAINS 't1'";
WorkItemCollection Twic = workitemstore.Query(wiql2);
//two task work items linked to one bug work item
for(int
i =0;i<=4;i++)
//define the link type
WorkItemLinkTypeEnd linkTypeEnd = workitemstore.WorkItemLinkTypes.LinkTypeEnds["Related"];
//link first task to bug
Bwic[i].Links.Add(new
RelatedLink(linkTypeEnd, Twic[(i * 2)].Id));
Bwic[i].Save();
//link second task to bug
Bwic[i].Links.Add(new
RelatedLink(linkTypeEnd, Twic[(i * 2 + 1)].Id));
Bwic[i].Save();
catch(Exception
e)
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

Run an event when update or create TFS Work items

Hi
I have tried to check for updates in work items in TFS(new work items or changes in available work items).
Then I need to write title of the changed work item to a text file.To do it I am using system center Orchestrator.
I have integrated tfs 2010 integration pack to it. So I could be able to create a new bug and edit existing bug. Then I could be able to get work item and write some property to a file.
Using that integration pack. But I could not found a way to detect changes in TFS work items and do some thing.
I tried monitor work items query to detect the changes.
I have used query to query bug
select * from WorkItems where [Work Item Type]='Bug'
Query interval(seconds)-10
Query in day precision - false
get changedwork items-true
When I run the runbook it do not go to next step and stop running. Runbook shows the status as warning!

My suggestion would be to do this using a run .net script activity with a powershell script inside. If you want examples of working with TFS from powershell check out
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/-SMA-Integration-20cb04cf -- there are a bunch of scripts in there that monitor and take action based on tfs changes.

'Get All New Data Request by Request' option not working Between DSO n Cube

Hi BI's..
Could anyone please tell me why the option ' Get one Request only' and 'Get All New Data Request by Request' is not working in DTP between Standard DSO and InfoCube.
Scenario:
I have done the data load by Yearwise say FY 2000 to FY 2009 in Infopackage and load it to Write-optimised DSO (10 requests) and again load Request by request to Standard DSO and activate each request. I have selected the option in DTP's to 'Get All New Data Request by Request' and its working fine between WDSO and SDSO. But not working between Cube and SDSO. While Execute DTP its taking as a single request from SDSO to Cube.( 10 request to single request).
Regards,
Sari.

Hi,
How does your DTP setting looks like from below options ? It should be change log, assuming you are not deleting change log data.
Delta Init. Extraction from...
- Active Table (with archive)
- Active Table (without archive)
- Archive ( full extraction only)
- Change Log
Also if you want to enable deltas, please do not delete change log. That could create issue while further update from DSO.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Mr Kapadia

Issues with Writing back data to Planning Cube After adding a new characterstic

Hello,
We have two cubes and a MP on top of it. ( Reporting Cube and Planning Cube ). An aggregation layer has also been built and so does a planning BEx query on top of it.
Before Scenario: things were working fine as we were able to write back data to planning cube using the BEx.
After Scenario: We created a new Dimension in the planning cube and added a new characteristic ( lets call it ZX_KEY ) . This Characteristic holds the concatenated values of some of the other characteristics in its master data tables . ( For ex: Account_Customer ID_Country-code_Industry-code ).
This new characteristic is also present in the reporting cube and has been added and transferred to MP.
This new characterstic was added to the planning BEx query as one of the rows and we executed it the analyzer. After entering the required values for all characterstics ( including the newly added ZX_KEY ) and the key figure values, we tried saving it. Now this is where the Analyzer is throwing up this error..
~~Characterstic combination cannot be assigned to part provider ~~
~~Characterstic 'ZX_KEY'; Characterstic value 'R123000000_12_US_TX'~~
~~ Entered values are incorrect:Correct before navigation ~~
The value that we are entering ( R123000000_12_US_TX ) is picked up from the master data table of ZX_KEY by double clicking and selecting it from the fetched values. So i am not sure as to why its throwing up the above error. Request your help on this please.
regards,
Karthik

Hi,
Try to check that all characteristics are correctly assigned at multiprovider level.
hope it helps

How do i turn off TFS adding bulds to Global List? and or to the "Found In" drop down in work items?

We do not use the standard TFS build definitions in our drop downs, and have scripted updating the global list with our standard build numbers. However, we get both the TFS builds and our build numbers in the "Found In" field of work items. How
do I disable TFS automatically adding the "Builds - " list into the "Found In" field Rules? and or updating the Global List?

Hi CRHill,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the version of your TFS Server?
What’s the “not use the standard TFS Build definitions in our drop downs” mean?
You’re using the TFS Build Definition to build your solution but not use the default TFS build process template in it?
If you don’t use TFS build definitions to build your solution, how the TFS builds’ numbers be generated and added in team project Global list?
As far as I know all the completed TFS build numbers will be added in to team project Global list by default, and there’s no a default way to turn off that in TFS Server. Please refer to the workaround in this article:
http://readcommit.blogspot.com/2008/04/found-in-build-team-build-list-make-it.html.

Is it possible to create a Visual Studio plugin that can copy TFS work item ID by adding a context menu in the work item UI?

Our team is using VS2013 and TFS 2013, and in our daily work we often open a TFS query, then we need to open a work item, and we often need to copy the ID, for example, to the email.
But currently the field is read only, and we often manually copy it.
So is there any convenient way to solve this? Any built in ways?
If no, is it possible to create such a plugin?
Regards,
Lei Yang
from Motorolasolutions

Hi Lei Yang
You can try the following work around to copy work item ID
for VS 2013:
Right click on work item tab header in VS 2013 and click 'Copy Full Path' from context menu
When you paste it on notepad/email you will get work item ID at the end of the path:
http://sumiran-dev:8080/tfs/web/wi.aspx?pcguid=d855bc22-69a8-45a5-b6fc-25f096ade8f5&id=46
For Web Portal:
Right click on work item link at top and click 'Copy shortcut' from the context menu
When you paste it on notepad/email you will get work item ID at the end of the shortcut:
http://sumiran-dev:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/TFS%20Scrum%20Demo/_workitems/edit/46
Thanks

I upgraded pages. Now when I begin a new document I automatically have a text box. How do I get rid of the text box so that it does not automatically appear. What settings do I need to change?

I upgraded pages. Now when I begin a new document I automatically have a text box. How do I get rid of the text box so that it does not automatically appear. What settings do I need to change?

Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences
