TFS 2008

Things to do now; things to do later Things to do now Hardware/Software Authentication Team Project Strategy Set up a Build process Things that can be done/changed later Hardware/Software Source Control Structure Iteration and Area Planning Methodology (partly)

Hardware Recommendations It really depends! Every brand-new server hardware will do Always a good idea Increasing the amount of RAM Hard drive performance is crucial (fast hard drives are good, RAID arrays better) Splitting TFS and SQL on two machines (dual-core configuration) is best for scalability Network bandwidth >= 1 mbps / < 350 ms latency Virtualization technologies (Hyper-V, VMware, …)

Hardware Recommendations # Developers Configuration CPUs RAM HDD space Less than 20 Single Server 2 x 2. 2 GHz 2. 5 GB (3 GB) 80 GB 20 – 100 Single Server 4 x 2. 2 GHz 3 GB (4 GB) 250 GB More than 100 Dual Server 2 x 2. 6 GHz / 4 x 2. 2 GHz 4 GB / 8 GB (16 GB) 500 GB This does not include the hardware for a build machine or lab!

Authentication Where to store… … users? Active Directory or local users on TFS computer … group membership? Active Directory or local groups on TFS computer … the permissions those groups will get? in Team Foundation Server Active Directory is recommended!

Team Project Strategy No "perfect" answer Team Projects are ‘big’ containers Microsoft Office (incl. Word, Excel, Outlook, Share. Point Server, etc. ) is one team project Millions of files in source control Thousands of Work Items A few thousand active users Each major version of Office gets an entirely new team project

Team Project Strategy Create new team projects sparingly… Areas and iterations are the preferred way to structure your projects. When to create a new team project? Different Methodology (look and rules behind Work Items are different) You want to hand over a project after it’s done (including Source Code etc. ) use own TPC! You want to hide areas from certain people (they should not be able to see the project name)

Team Project Strategy If you use multiple Team Projects (TPs)… Excel & Project can only show data from one TP (you can use different Excel sheets to achieve this) Work Items can’t be reassigned to a different TP (they can be copied though) Built-in reports show data from one project (they can filter for areas and iterations)

Set up a build process early! Several Reports and metrics require a build process (with or without tests) as input the sooner you set up a build, the better!

Virtualization and TFS Should I run TFS in a virtual environment? Yes! (recommended) Why? Snapshot support* Faster Disaster recovery Good to know SQL Server is supported in virtual configurations http: //support. microsoft. com/kb/956893/en-us (* be aware: no support for VM snapshots)

Virtualization Options Option 1 (1 VM) VM #1: TFS, SQL, SSAS, SSRS, WSS Option 2 (2 VMs) VM #1: SQL, SSAS VM #2: TFS, SSRS, WSS Option 3 (Host + 1 VM) Same as Option 2, but #1 installed on the host This is the configuration we use for hosting (combines advantages of virtualization + performance)

TFS 2008 Scalability Options TFS (Single-Server) too slow? Dual-Server TFS (Dual-Server) too slow? Scale-up! SQL Logs are huge? Turn them off. Perf issues with OLAP queries? Move SSAS http: //msdn. microsoft. com/en-us/library/aa 721760. aspx Perf issues with SQL Reports? Move SSRS Perf issues with Project portals? Move MOSS Perf issues with remote location? TFS Proxy Perf issues with Build server? TFS Proxy, Hotfix, Optimize (e. g. incremental GET) Perf issues with Web Access Move TSWA Source: http: //msmvps. com/blogs/vstsblog/archive/2008/07/09/yourtfs-user-base-is-growing-scale-up-or-out. aspx

Build Server performance Optimize Build Process e. g. Incremental GET instead of full GET Change logging verbosity http: //blogs. msdn. com/aaronhallberg/archive/2007/05/03/tfsbuild-rsp-and-logging-verbosity-in-orcas. aspx Install TFS 2008 SP 1 (on TFS & Build Server) Aaron Hallberg from Microsoft says: […] change in TFS Build SP 1 which reduced build log noise by cutting out the build steps for projectto-project references […] the fix in SP 1 didn't actually fix the problem, at least not completely. Source: http: //msmvps. com/blogs/vstsblog/archive/2009/01/31/hotfix-for-team-build 2008 -sp 1 -reducing-project-to-project-references-in-build-log-kb 958845. aspx

Build Server performance (II) A hot fix is finally available that will address the remaining parts of the problem http: //code. msdn. microsoft. com/KB 958845 http: //support. microsoft. com/kb/958845 VSTS MVP colleague Mathias Olausson reports: “before SP 1 the build time was about 2 h 30 min, with SP 1 build time in average 65 minutes and with the build hotfix we’re now down to less than 40 minutes. The build log has changed from 5500 lines down to 550. ”

Localized Versions of TFS I recommend using the English version of TFS Reasons Vocabulary used in books and the web is English Some translations make me sad (some original English messages as well) TFS Power Tools are available in English only Incompatibility with some templates/tools/fixes You can move from English localized (one-way) You can still have localized VS & Team Explorer! (beware of Service Packs…)

Installation Follow the latest TFS Installation Guide http: //www. microsoft. com/downloads/details. aspx? Family. ID=ff 12844 f-398 c-4 fe 9 -8 b 0 d-9 e 84181 d 9923 Make sure the server name has no underscore http: //msmvps. com/blogs/vstsblog/archive/2009/01/11/beaware-don-t-use-underscores-in-server-names. aspx To save one step you can integrate the TFS SP 1 into the TFS Setup (“slipstream”). http: //msmvps. com/blogs/vstsblog/archive/2008/08/11/visualstudio-2008 -net-2 -5 -and-tfs-2008 -service-pack-1 -released. aspx Required for SQL Server 2008

Slipstream Step 1 - Preparation Copy the contents of the "AT" folder from your TFS installation media to your hard drive. In my case: I: ISOsAT-RTM Download the TFS Service Pack 1 http: //www. microsoft. com/downloads/details. aspx? Family. ID=9 e 40 a 5 b 6 -da 41 -43 a 2 -a 06 d-3 cee 196 bfe 3 d File name: en_visual_studio_team_system_2008_team_foundation_se rver_service_pack_1_x 86_x 64 wow. exe

Slipstream Step 2 – Extract the Service Pack package Command: Servicepack. exe /extract: Target. Folder

Slipstream Step 3 – Create admin installation package Command: Msiexec /a vs_setup. msi /p TFS 90 sp 1 -KB 949786. msp TARGETDIR=Target. Folder

Slipstream Step 3 – Create admin installation package A ready to use setup (TFS 2008 including SP 1) will now created in TARGETDIR.

Slipstream Step 4 – Ready to be installed A ready to use setup was created in TARGETDIR:

Where to install which SP? Machine TFS single server / TFS Application Tier TFS SP 1 VS SP 1 Yes, if Visual Studio is installed. Install this prior to TFS SP 1. TFS Data Tier No Team System Web Access No (on separate machine) No Yes TFS Build Server Yes, if Visual Studio is installed. Install this prior to TFS SP 1. TFS Proxy Visual Studio User Office User Yes No No No Yes Source: http: //msmvps. com/blogs/vstsblog/archive/2008/10/09/vs-amp-tfs-sp 1 what-to-apply-on-which-machine. aspx

Installation Verification How can I verify TFS is setup up correctly? 1. Invoke a TFS web service: https: //localhost/services/v 1. 0/Registration. asmx and look for "vstfs" in the xml result. 2. Try to create a new Team Project 3. Run TFS Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) from TFPT 4. Process the Cube

Congratulations! TFS is now installed successfully. Is it ready to be used? Sadly: No! Let's begin with: Post-Installation Configuration

Windows Server 2008 and higher You are likely to hit this issue Assumption You have all admin rights of the world But… Can't create a new team project (you are missing permissions the message says!) Documents and Reports in TE show a red X You can access http: //<server>/Reports just fine Solution http: //support. microsoft. com/kb/896861/en-us

Enable Work Item Meta Data Filtering This is a new feature in TFS 2008 SP 1 Disabled by default (for compatibility reasons) Benefits Security: you can hide team project names Performance: only the meta-data for the team projects where a user permissions to will be transferred to the clients (not all metadata). Source: http: //msmvps. com/blogs/vstsblog/archive/2008/10/06/tfstip-enabling-work-item-meta-data-filtering. aspx

Enable Work Item Meta Data Filtering How to configure it Add to web. config (in folder: %Program. Files%Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation ServerWeb ServicesWork. Item.

Area Sorting Problem You might experience that if you sort Work Items by Area, sorting is not correct SQL script to check for the problem SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [dbo]. [Tree. Nodes] c JOIN [dbo]. [Tree. Nodes] p ON c. [Parent. ID] = p. [ID] JOIN [dbo]. [Fields] f ON p. [Type. ID] = f. [Parent. Fld. ID] AND c. [Type. ID] <> f. [Fld. ID] WHERE c. [ID] <> 0 Result: 0 = No problem != 0 run fix script

Area Sorting Fix begin tran This script will correct sorting You can also schedule it (e. g. once a day) SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON set xact_abort on set nocount on exec dbo. Box. Car. Admin. Data. Changes null, null WHILE(1=1) BEGIN UPDATE c SET c. [Type. ID] = f. [Fld. ID] FROM [dbo]. [Tree. Nodes] c JOIN [dbo]. [Tree. Nodes] p ON c. [Parent. ID] = p. [ID] JOIN [dbo]. [Fields] f ON p. [Type. ID] = f. [Parent. Fld. ID] AND c. [Type. ID] <> f. [Fld. ID] WHERE c. [ID] <> 0 IF(@@ROWCOUNT = 0) BREAK

Setting Admin Permissions Set a up group for TFS Administrators You just have to do that once (for each TFS)… 1. 2. 3. 4. Create a security group in Active Directory TFS: Add it to Team Foundation Administrators SSRS: Add to Content Manager role on root folder WSS: Add to Farm Administrators Group

Setting Team Project Permissions Set a up groups for a new Team Project You have to do that once for each team project: 1. Create security groups in Active Directory Team Leads Developers 2. TFS: Create two new groups on the TFS and your Active Directory groups as members Set permissions for the two new groups 3. SSRS: Add to Browser role on team project folder 4. WSS: Add Design / Contribute permissions

demo TFS 2010 Admin Console

Team Foundation Server 2008: Enterprise Pains Application tier (AT) requires 32 -bit Team projects can’t be isolated Individual team projects not portable across TFS instances Individual team projects not available for backup/restore Team projects limited to 250 -500* per TFS instance * Actual # depends on process templates being used

Enterprise TFS Management (ETM) Team Project Collection Contains team projects Portable across TFS instances Can backup/restore in isolation Scale out application tier Load balancing Redundancy

Team Project Collections (TPC) New concept 1 TPC = 1 SQL database After upgrading from TFS 2005/2008 all team projects will be in the "Default collection" TPCs are isolated No WI queries, no branching & merging Unique WI and CS IDs, separate Build Controllers 1 cube, data warehouse, SSRS server for all TPCs In Team Explorer you connect to a TPC (not TFS)

Team Project Collections (TPC) Benefits What you can do now Backup/Restore single TPCs, rather than whole TFS Move a TPC to other server for scalability reasons Hand-over a TPCs to a customer

Team Project Collections (TPC) How to migrate to the new collections After upgrade All team projects get upgraded into a single team project collection You can split your team projects into TPCs By using the clone command (detach/attach) you can move team projects to a new TPC Note: only to a new, not an existing TPC
