Hi all,
After a month of hiking in China without any thoughts about ASP.NET, Team System etc., I am back.
Just this morning I finished TFS Beta3 refresh installation. Surprisingly it took only two hours, including MS-SQL Developer Edition setup and Team Explorer setup. So, again, here are first impressions. Project cleanup problem remains unfixed.
Just to remind you, after Team Project creation failure, project names remains taken and you can not use it any more. I wrote about it in my previous post. After some further investigation, this my check list to release dirty project name:
- Database. You should rename entry with your project name in 4 tables (if such an entry exists):
DB: TfsIntegration, Table: tbl_projects, Field: project_name
DB: TfsVersionControl, Table: tbl_Version, Field: FullPath
DB: TfsVersionControl, Table: tbl_Namespace, Field: FullPath
DB: TfsWorkItemTracking, Table: TreeNodes, Field: Name
- SharePoint Services. In some cases after project creation project site is not rolled back. Open Start>Settings>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>SharePoint Central Administration. Use option "Delete site collection" under "Virtual Server Configuration". Site URL should be http://sites//sites/.
- Reporting Services. Cleanup remains of reports under Reporting Services Site (folder named the same as project and all its content). Browse to http:///Reports to do it.
Note: In my opinion it is extremely ugly method, but it works. I really hope this cleanup mess would be fixed soon.
