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.

Renaming TFS Server name upon migration from TFS 2010 to TFS 2012

We are migrating from TFS 2010 on existing server to TFS 2012 on new server. All components (TFS 2012, SQL 2012, SPS 2010) are directly on the new server similar to existing server (TFS 2010, SQL 2008 R2, WSS 3.0).
The new server has a new name, however the service provider that does the actual migration,
wants to rename
the new server to be same name as the name of the original existing server when it is shutdown. The rename is intended to be done using
netdom utility.
I noticed there are articles by microsoft and others that describe various issues that may arrise as
result of TFS server rename. However service provider still plans to rename based on his field experience and best practices.
What do u recommend to do in this aspect ? Why would it be necessary to rename and not use the new name (DNS can map old name as well to the new IP) ? What are the actual risks in such rename and is it worth it ?
Thank u

Hi Cathy,
Thank u for your reply.
We know that renaming the new server to the same name as the original one, is
not a must for the migration to work. The issue in question is as follows :
1. A Microsoft partner that has hands on experience in TFS migration, and planned to migrate for us, recommends to rename the new server name, to the original server name, utilizing net_dom command, and to do it during / after same procedure u
provided link to.
2. We found Microsoft documentation that cautions about renaming the server, e.g. renaming SQL server which is in our case on same machine where TFS 2012 is to be installed. However, the partner urges us to rename, explaining that net_dom should perform
the rename safely without caution risk.
Kindly let u sknow if Micorsoft considers such rename with net_dom to be a good
practice in low risk for such migration,
or better keep the new server name as it is and just map the old server name in DNS to the IP of the new server.
Thank u.

Is Outlook 2013 incompatible with BB Link

I just upgraded my Laptop to a Lenovo X1 Carbon with windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013 .
I'm trying to do a 1 way sync from my Q10 to Outlook contacts which i used to do with my previous W7 laptop with no issues .
When i connect my Q10 to BB Link i only get the option of syncing with Windows Contacts , no matter what i do i can't change this option to Outlook contacts .
Did anyone face a similar issue ?

I use Outlook 365 (probably same as 2013) on Win 8.1 and I had no problems once I had set up Outlook, syncing to my Z30 via Link.
It worked fine for about 5 months, but then the last 6 months I can only sync Calendar info. Contacts will not sync.
There are reasons that some point to that require some heavy lifting in the Registry and deleting certain contacts data, but I have choosen to limp along until either Link is fixed or maybe some other alternative is available (Blend?)
We're all out here together...

How do I migrate a book from one ibookstore account to another (along with history)?

I have a book that was started on the free account. But then I created a paid account and want to have all my books viewable under one account. Is there a way to request Apple to migrate the book as well as the history from free to paid?

I would ask Apple. There is no officially documented way of doing this.
I don't like your chances though because a paid book account requires a different setup process and signing of a different contract.

My macbook pro keyboard has stopped working overnight. The DEL button, along with O and P are acting strange. The DEL button is adjusting screen brightness and the O isnt working at all. Is this hardware related? or a software issue?

The left side of the keyboard seems to be working fine but the DEL button and other buttons are doing strange commands. The DEL button is adjusting the brightness and other F commands.
The O is not working at all. Some other letters are coming up with other characters.

Try a different keyboard with your computer if possible. If it woks well, it's a hardware problem.

Migrate the complete solution along with data from BW 2.x to BW 7.x

Dear Experts,
There is a scenario in which SAP BW 2.0 have been upgraded to 7.0 version, while the BW flow and the custom models that exists are still in 2.X version
We acquired separate SAP BW 7.4 powered by Hana , We would like to migrate the older version of BW i.e 7.0 with mentioned content and models into this new system with data and going forward our organization would like to have only one system and dismantle the old system . Please let us know the process in the form of steps as to how it can be achieved . Need your expert input on this .
Thx,

The below is my Proposed Solution
•Identify the list of Models & Objects which is required Migration eg: out of 100 Cubes only in Use 70 Cubes & Reports 150
•Migrate the models in System 1 (Old BW System)
•Create RFC from System 1 to System 2(New BW System)
•Transport Objects to System2
• Load the data from System 1 to system 2 using Open Hub/datamart
–If you have any Full load from ECC , Non SAP or Excel, no need to load the data from System 1 to System 2, you can load directly from source to system 2.

Project Server 2013 not saving custom field data

Hello all,
I have a Project Server 2013 deployment with several Project-level custom fields.
One of them, never saves the info typed in. All others work just fine but this one does not like to save anything. There's no error in queues or the ULS.
I'm so lost with it. Any thoughts?
Rene Alvarez

An update on this issue.
I could isolate it to the project plan template. If I use my custom fields with an EPT without a plan template, I have no problem.
So the problem is the template right? Well, I did the following:
Create a blank template and attach it to the EPT. Result: all Ok.
Create a template with 10 tasks (task name only) and attach it to the EPT. Result: all Ok.
Create a template with my full 135 tasks (task name only) and attach it to the EPT. Result: all Ok.
Create a template with the 135 tasks (task name and WBS) and attach it to the EPT. Result: all Ok.
Create a template with the 135 tasks (task name, WBS and milestones) and attach it to the EPT. Result: FAIL. Cannot save custom fields again.
A user noticed something. If he opens a problematic project in Project Pro, and publish it again (no changes) then the project accepts data in the custom fields.

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);

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:

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.
Best regards,

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.

Query filter for linked work items by link type

We are running TFS 2012. I am opening up my work item query in VS 2013 team explorer. I need to know how to write a query that allows me to filter OUT links of type "related" so that they don't show in the tree under the product backlog item in
the sprint. Link Type is not one of the fields present in the query editor.
Thanks.
