TFS WorkItem Proxy - workitem

Any one try to develop proxy for TFS work items?
Current TFS Proxy supports only for Source control not for TFS WorkItems.
If I want to Implement TFS WorkItem what I have to do? All Ideas are welcome :)

Team Companion supports offline editing of existing work items which might help you to some degree.
You sync with the server, go offline, do your stuff and at the end of the day go online and sync with the server again.

OWASP ZAP share Context between environments and change base URI's addresses

I'm new to ZAP tool so sorry in advance if question is stupid, but I cannot find answer on it so far...
I have to fix all the vulnerabilities in some application, so I installed ZAP proxy tool locally, then explored application manually, collected all the requests and ran 'Active scanner' against it. So far everything is good, but the problem is that application quite big and it's very difficult and time consuming to cover everything manually. Fortunately we have dedicated automation environment where I can setup ZAP proxy and let test's go and populate context (set of url's for test) for me
So now my task is somehow share context's between different environments with ability to change base addresses
e.g. I populated context on somedomain/myapp and want run ZAP tool against same application deployed locally, or in different server (e.g. localhost/myapp)
It would be very helpful if someone could share any info how to achieve that.
Thank you in advance,
Eugene
It seems that you can create new context and then add existing links to that context.

TFS Admin Console

I wonder that about this problem: tfs_configuration & my tfs_testcollection in TFS Admin Console and SQL MS.
What is recommended solution for backups and restore tfs_configuration in TFS Admin Console ? I ask because sometimes it happens that collection and configuration are out of sync ? Could you recomend best solution for preventing these problems? Any msdn site or books or blog with solutions ?
Thank you in advance.
Lucas.
It's because this out of sync, is recommended you do the backup by Admin console, using the tools Backup! This feature will syncronize all database of TFS, including Reports, Sharepoint, etc..
The only supported and documented method of creating a backup in TFS is to use marked transaction logs. In versions before 2010 this was a manual process documented on MSDN. In 2010 the TFS team added a tool to the Power Tool to make it easyer. That tool was a big set up but was still a little flakie around the edges. In 2012 update 2 this was finally consistent enough to make it into the tool and be available in the Admin Console.
I have a blog post and video on how to configure the manual and power tool option: http://nakedalm.com/creating-a-backup-in-team-foundation-server-2010-using-the-power-tools/
You can find full documentation on MSDN.

Can tfs feedback be recieved via TFS Web Access w/o installing feedbackclient.exe?

ON TFS2012 is it possible to request feedback from customers that are utilizing the web client without them having to install feedbackclient.exe on their machines
Usersnap allows customers to add feedback without installing anything locally. It integrates into Microsoft Team Foundation Service (this means, every feedback from your customers is automatically created as ticket inside your TFS workflow).
Your customers even don't need an account in TFS to provide feedback.
It's easy to integrate Usersnap with TFS, you can have a look at the docs here: https://usersnap.com/support/docs/apicfg#tfs
To work with the feedback request like it is explained here it is not possible to give feedback without installing the client tool.
I thought it would work also by logging in in the TFS web interface then open the feedback request and answer to it but apparently after testing it myself I did not found a solution directly. Though the feedback would be filled in completely manually while all the needed tools are available with the client tool.

How to update a sharepoint 2010 workflow?

I have a complex workflow, written in VS2010 (not sharepoint designer) for Sharepoint 2010.
Is there a document somewhere (MS?), with the recommended steps, to deploy an updated workflow, without cancelling the existing running instances of the workflow?
I can easily deploy the new workflow, however, the problem is that, I do not want to kill the existing instances of the running workflow (which is what happens by default when you deploy the workflow).
Through trial and error, I have a long list of what I think I need to do, but I really would like some confirmation.
I also need to use the new Package capability to deploy the workflow, since VS.NET will NOT be installed upon the sharepoint production server.
Thanks!
Dave
I had struggled myself with this in the past (2007 times) but couldn't find an elegant way out except completing the workflows.

Team Foundation Server reporting stops refreshing after adding a CMMi repository

I have this problem and did not find in the site a case like mine.
Here is the thing.
I created a TFS 2008 with the scrum template (Conchango). It was a clean install (a fresh OS, a fresh SQL Server, a fresh machine, etc…). So everything worked like a charm.
I created 3 Scrum repositories, assigned permissions, uploaded files and so on… 3 teams started working on them, and everything was super!
Up to this point the server only had 3 scrum repositories and nothing else.
Then, I had to create a new repository, but with the CMMi template (the one provided with TFS).
Again everything works (the Sharepoint site, the source control, documents..) … BUT…. Reports stopped refreshing!!!
Does anybody know how to fix it?
Any help will be really appreciated
Should you need more info please let me know
Found someone with the same problem, reports do stop working after adding CMMI project :)
The following link has an explaination of how to fix it:
http://blog.salvoz.com/2008/01/26/TFSWarehouseIssues.aspx
First of all, you didn't create a new repository. You created a new team project.
Secondly, the trick is to go find out why the reports stopped refreshing! There's no well-known bug, "reports stop refreshing when adding a CMMI Team Project: here's what to do". You'll need to go look on the database tier server and see if there are any problems listed in the event logs or the SQL Server logs. Then track it down.
I had one situation where Analysis Services crashed, restarted and crashed again - because I hadn't set up operator notification. It's necessary to look, in order to see.
