for azure Devops server 2019 pipelines and history migrate to azure Devops services? is there any tools to do that?
You could try to use the Azure devops extension Migration Tools for Azure DevOps, which allow you to migrate Teams, Work Items, and Plans & Suits from one Project to another in Azure DevOps/TFS both within the same Organization, and between Organizations. But this without history and This tool is complicated and its not always easy to discover what you need to do.
If you insist on keeping the history, you could also try to use the 3rd tool OpsHub Visual Studio Online Migration Utility. It migrates historical information for work items, version control change sets, test cases, test results, and all the relationships between two tools in an incremental manner.
Note: No matter which tool is used, or manual migration, we may not be able to get results were not a perfect copy, but overall the results were actable.

We're trying to set-up Azure Devops Build and Release Pipelines for our Power BI Paginated Reports. We need the release pipeline to support deployment to our Test and two Prod environments.
We able to retrieve RDLs from our Git Repo and publish to the target workspaces. Then we need to modify the connection strings for each target environment. Using Azure PowerShell, we're able to authenticate as a Power BI Service Principle and change the connection string Server and Database names.
In order for this to work, we need to take over each report:
"groups/$workspaceId/reports/$reportId/Default.TakeOver"
and then
"groups/$workspaceId/reports/$reportId/Default.UpdateDatasources".
The updated connection can be verified through
"groups/$workspaceId/reports/$reportId/Datasources".
However when we try to run the report it fails with a "Could not connect to datasource" error. After going to the report management page and choosing "Take over" the report works fine.
Has anyone run into this before?
TIA
It might sound backwards, but we have a need to move a Azure Devops project of epic's, User stores tasks etc, as well as all existing comments, links, and dependencies to a TFS environment, can this tool do that?
Yes you can using the Azure DevOps Migration Tools.

I am looking for a way to store a global variable (password) that can be used with all Team Projects in our TFS collection. This will be used in our build/release process. Currently we are on TFS 2017.3 but plan on upgrading to Azure DevOps 2019 soon.
I've tried using the Library and variable groups in TFS, but these must be entered for each team project which we have over 200 of.
Currently there is not out-of-the-box option like this.
There is a feature request here with a lot of up-votes, so I hope Microsoft will add this useful feature soon.
After you upgrade to Azure DevOps server, you can use the Azure Key Vault task to pull data from Azure Key Vault. You can have as many Vaults as you like and use in one or all Projects.
I have hard time with Azure Functions on Azure Government. I need to create a C# trigger bases process on Azure Storage. The goal is to automate the process of the loading the files into Azure SQL DB when a file is dropped into Azure Storage.
Since Azure Functions in Azure Government are not fully comparable to Azure Function in regular Azure and not all UIs are the same, I can't deploy the function to trigger on a storage file.
I was able to build the process in regular Azure Cloud following instructions from https://github.com/yorek/AzureFunctionUploadToSQL but since Azure Government is missing the UI for Azure Functions I'm having hard time to replicating the process in Azure Government.
Portal UI support is not yet available in Azure Government, but it is coming soon. Additionally, Azure Government currently supports "App Service plan" ("Consumption plan" coming soon).
In the meantime, you can do everything you need. First, provision your Azure Function in Azure Gov via the Azure CLI by following this Quickstart example for Functions on Azure Gov. That same link also shows you how you can use Visual Studio to set up your triggers (in your case, a Blob trigger).
Once complete, deploy your Function to Azure Gov with Visual Studio.
In our organization we are using Hyper-V VMs. We are using Progress Database and apps in the workstations.
For us to migrate into the Microsoft Azure cloud, do we have to migrate our existing Progress database to SQL and rewrite our apps ?
No. You haven't given us much detail about your applications or architecture, but if I make the assumption that you are using the embedded database product by Progress software, then I see no reason that can't run on an Azure VM.
