TFS Integration Tools v1.0 released

The TFS Integration Tools got it first fully supported release. It’s a project developed by the Team Foundation Server (TFS) product group and the Visual Studio ALM Rangers to integrate with third party systems for migration and synchronization of data. 

What’s in the package?
  • TFSMigrationShell … This is the primary tool in the Integration Tools, and provides the ability to create, edit and run migrations from a GUI
  • MigrationConsole … Provides a command line tool for running migrations
  • ServerDiff … Compares version control files or work items on two servers that are participating in a migration or synchronization session
  • CQMigrationConfigGenerator … Extracts the CQ record type schema information, and generates a default matching TFS WITD, a field mapping, and a list of CQ users
  • TFSIntegrationAdmin … Command line utility for various management and administrative tasks such as import/export of configurations, deleting sessions and configuring service accounts
  • SyncMonitorConsole … The SyncMonitorConsole determines the number of backlogged items and time of any backlog in the processing of a continuous sync session and stores the data in the LATENCY_POLL table of the TFSIntegrationPlatform database. You can use the "TFS Integration - Latency.rdl" located at "Microsoft Team Foundation Server Integration Tools\Reports\"to report on this data.

It also contains a big list of adapters out of the box and it’s very easy to create your own:

  • ClearCase Detailed History … Provides the ability to migrate source control items between an IBM ClearCase and TFS system using the native ClearCase API. This adapter migrates all history.
  • ClearCase Selected History … Provides the ability to migrate source control items between an IBM ClearCase and TFS system using the native ClearCase API. This adapter migrates a subset of the history based on a specified label or view.
  • ClearQuest … Provides the ability to migrate work items between an IBM ClearQuest and a TFS system using the native ClearQuest API.
  • File System for TFS 2008 … Provides the ability to migrate files from a file system hierarchy into TFS 2008 version control.  This adapter can be used when there is not a direct adapter available, by exporting revisions from the source system into the file system.
  • File System for TFS 2010 … Provides the ability to migrate files from a file system hierarchy into TFS 2010 version control.  This adapter can be used when there is not a direct adapter available, by exporting revisions from the source system into the file system.
  • Proof of Concept … Provides a sample project for creating an adapter for the Integration tools.
  • SharePoint VC … This is a sample adapter that is used to migrate documents between SharePoint and TFS version control.
  • SharePoint WIT … This is a sample adapter that is used to migrate tasks between SharePoint and TFS work item tracking.
  • TFS 2008 VC … Provides a native integration point with TFS 2008 version control, using the public TFS 2008 API.
  • TFS 2008 WIT … Provides a native integration point with TFS 2008 work item tracking, using the public TFS 2008 API.
  • TFS 2010 VC … Provides a native integration point with TFS 2008 version control, using the public TFS 2010 API.
  • TFS 2010 WIT … Provides a native integration point with TFS 2008 work item tracking, using the public TFS 2008 API

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
