Created Issue: AdminTool: The Integration Role doens't work with '[Project]\Project Administrators'

This predefined group doesn't work.
You have to create a custom group and assign it in the AdminTool to get the features up and running.

The configuration of the RecycleBin returns its Title instead of its ID.

I'm afraid that with TFS 2005 you'll have to stick with the 1.4 beta (there's the release files including the setup on the beta).
The reason of this is because the 2.0 application uses a feature of Team System that were bugged in the 2005 version, so you wouldn't want to try it.

If the features you're looking for are handling hierarchy with Work Items and using global workflow between them, the 1.4beta will do fine. But unfortunately you can't use the merge by Work Item feature with TFS 2005.

If upgrading to 2008 is a possibility, I strongly encourage you to do so (not even if you're not using WICreator ;) ).

Hi Loic, I have the following queries regarding this tool:

1. Can we use WICreator 2.0 with TFS 2005, as I am using TFS 2005 and I was able to successfully install the WICreator 2.0 on my server but when I am trying to run the WI administration, as mentioned in the document its giving the error "Object reference not set to an instance of the object."
2. Setup for WI Creator 1.4 is not available on this site, so I am not able to try it and also If I install the version 1.0, the administration option is not available and I have to run the creator from the "$...\TFS 2005\web services\WINetwork\CegWICreator_1_0_0_17.application" which too is giving some error.

I am using TFS 2005 on the windows server 2003 SP2 machine and my client machine configuration is windows xp professional 2002 SP3. I am not able to use any version of this tool neither on the server nor on the client machine. please suggest.

CLOSED ISSUE: Custom WorkItemType not recognised in Create Sub Work Item

Allow the creation of sub Work Item of any type from the Tree Control.

CLOSED TASK: m_SC.GetAllTeamProjects(true)

LoicBaumann — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 13:59:47 GMT

When enumerating the Team Project, use the Work Item Store instead of the Source Control. i.e. : VersionControlServer: m_SC.GetAllTeamProjects(true) will retrieve a list of projects that have its Source Control initialised. What if the source control for a project has not been initialised? We cannot see them in WICreator. Do you think it would be better to use the WorkItemStore instead: m_WIS.Projects

CLOSED ISSUE: Relink existing WI doesn't remove it from its previous hierarchy

LoicBaumann — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 13:59:47 GMT

If you link a Work Item that is already linked to a hierarchy, the surrounded Work Items (father if the WI is the first, or the previous for the others) won't be updated. This will end with your Work Item being present in two hierarchies levels.

CLOSED ISSUE: Unable to add child work items

I have this XML for the a Change Request work item Yet although I see each of the possible child work items in the Create Sub Work Item right click option, not all of them will create a sub work item. I can't create Development Task, Design Task, Requirement, General Task or Test. The others are OK and are the ones from the original template. Are the child work items hard coded? Why can't I add my child work items. Interestingly it will allow the addition of them if I create the WI's first and then use the Link existing work item option. Also the Actions button I would have expected to reflect what could be added, but it doesn't. Other than that this is great and is going to be of a lot of use when it is working properly.

Maybe it is hard-coded, I don't really remember the code. But I planned to rewrite this part to make sure everything is fully extensible to any type of Work Item.
For instance, the Action menu can't create other types than Change Request or Bug, and I know it's a limitation I've to remove.

Be sure that I'll look into that the coming week, and I'll made a release ASAP.

Initially the WebService requires to be installed on the same computer than the TFS Server, in order to use the same AppPool than TFS to inherit the required access rights to TFS.
So you have to install the whole thing on a Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6.0.
For production purpose, I strongly recommend you to do that way.

Now for development/debugging purpose you can install the Web Service on a Windows XP/IIS 4.0 (that's what I did to develop it), but I'm afraid the installer won't let you to do so. From now, you'll have to run the setup on a Win2K3, then copy the files back in your Windows XP.
