tfs2010

I have a pretty large complicated application that has a smart client front end in one solution and a web services layer in another solution. We use 2 team build definitions in TFS 2010 to build the solutions. We are still using MS Build scripts not the new workflow based templates. How can we use a single build definition to build both solutions. We are open to either tricks inside MS Build scripts or moving to the new workflow templates. You can simply set two Solutions to build by creating them in an item group if I am understanding what you are trying to do <SolutionToBuild Include="$

I've got a fairly large MVC2 project in TFS which gets built automatically on checkin (Continuous Integration) At present, the fully built version is dumped on a network share on our dev IIS server. \\Server\wwwrootLatest TFS of course creates lots of sub-folders since it's just doing a build, it isn't even aware that it's drop directory is a wwwroot. This means that to actually USE the build, we need to go and manually create an IIS App which points at the appropriate directory - which defeats the whole object of the exercise. When we do a manual publish to that server, we use "File System"

We need to move our current TFS2010 installation to a new TFS2013 box but would like to have a testing period in which both instances are live before eventually sunsetting the TFS2010 instance. The TFS2013 instance would be used for testing only for the first few weeks. Just prior to sunsetting we would again migrate the TFS 2010 data again to the TFS2013 instance to get the most recent changes. The TFS2010 cannot be upgraded in place to TFS 2013 as its on 32 bit OS and my preference would be to remain conservative and keep the current production TFS2010 instance untouched during the testing

On TFS 2010 we set up a build script to automatically run and deploy to our test environment no more than every 4 hours. So the trigger of the build definition is "Rolling builds - accumulate check-ins until the prior build finishes" with the check box checked for "Build no more often than every [240] minutes". The way I'm interpreting this is that if a build happens at 16:25, and there's 3 check-ins in the next 30 minutes (the last happening at 16:52), then the next build will happen at 20:25. The issue we're seeing is that if this sequence of events happens on a Friday, then the next

I am looking for the physical location of the TFS workflow log. Not the MSBuild Log but the log you see when you click "View Log". I have read in other forums that the log is stored in an SQL database. But which database is it and specifically what table? Thanks. Hope someone knows the answer to this. paulselles The entire build log can be found in the Tfs_YourTeamProjectCollection database in the Tbl_BuildInformation . The Tbl_BuildInformation table contains self referencing entries to preserve the build log hierarchy, and all the build information is saved in XML. The information is saved as

I'm trying to find up to date info on commuicating with TFS 2010 (now also refered to Microsoft ALM 2010, I believe). This previous post 192579 from a Microsoft TFS team member states : The web services are not documented by Microsoft as it is not an officially supported route to talk to TFS. The officially supported route is to use their .NET API. But this was anwser was back from 2008, so I was wondering if this is still the case with 2010. There is a post 2010 post that talks about using powershell and the tfs web services . To give some context, I basically need to sync some workitems
