TFS 2010: Administrative reports

After blogging about 2 administrative reports some time ago, I have a new list with useful reports for the TFS administrator.

Microsoft released some reports that visualize the information that TFS stores about the health of the data warehouse.

These reports are useful to TFS administrators, operations/support teams, project administrators & end-users. The reports in this pack display the following kinds of information:

  • Recent processing times
  • Current status (whether the cube is processing now and, if not, when it is scheduled to process next)
  • Schema conflicts
  • Most recent time that each adapter successfully ran
Interpreting the reports

In the download, there is a FAQ document which includes screenshots of what different reports mean and common questions. The contents of the FAQ are also available at Monitoring the TFS Data Warehouse – FAQ.

Requirements
  • SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 or 2008 R2
  • A shared datasource to which you connect the report, as the installation instructions describe how to configure.
Download: AdminReportPack.zip

Download and install this report pack to the Team Foundation Server Reporting Services Instance to monitor warehouse and cube processing status.

For information about how to install this report pack, see Installing Admin Report Pack for TFS.docx that is included in the download.

The pack includes:

  • Admin Report Pack for TFS FAQ.docx
  • Installing Admin Report Pack for TFS.docx
  • Reports\Cube Status.rdl
  • Reports\Blocked Fields.rdl
  • Reports\Reportable Fields.rdl

Here’s an overview of how the reports look and what questions you can answer with them.

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
