<\/a><\/a>\n<\/a><\/a>Upgrading\nfrom Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh to the Release to Manufacturing\nVersion (RTM) of Team Foundation Server<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>\n<\/a>Introduction<\/a><\/h2>\n

Upgrading from Team Foundation\nServer Beta 3 Refresh to Team Foundation Server RTM involves many steps that\ninclude backing up data, running utilities to update your installation, and\nperforming some manual steps to complete the process. When you upgrade, we\nrecommend that you use the same user accounts that you used to install Team\nFoundation Server Beta 3 Refresh.<\/p>\n

This guide provides steps and\nguidance for completing each of these procedures on single-server and\ndual-server deployments in addition to guidance for verifying the success of\nthe upgrade process. <\/p>\n

Important   Read\nthis guide carefully before you try to upgrade your installation of Team\nFoundation Server. Make sure that you follow the steps as they are listed in\nthis guide. Performing upgrade tasks out of order or skipping steps can cause the\nupgrade to fail. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>\n<\/a>Changes to Team Foundation\nServer Between Beta 3 Refresh and RTM<\/a><\/h2>\n

There have been several changes to\nTeam Foundation Server between Beta 3 Refresh and the RTM version. Most of\nthese changes will be handled gracefully during the upgrade process, but some\nof the changes will affect customizations that you have made to Team Foundation\nServer in Beta 3 Refresh. If you want to keep these customizations, you must\nimport them manually. These steps are documented in the Incorporating\nCustomizations from Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh into Team Foundation\nServer RTM section.<\/p>\n

Additionally, your custom reports\nwill probably not work with the new warehouse cube structure. You must modify\nthem to account for these changes. The most significant of these changes occurs\nin the work item measure group. In Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh, most\nwork item attributes were separate dimensions. In Team Foundation Server RTM,\nthey are combined into a single work item dimension.<\/p>\n

There will be two versions of the\nMSF for Agile Software Development and MSF for CMMI Process Improvement templates\navailable on your Team Foundation Server after the upgrade, with very similar\nnames. The new process template versions that have been updated with changes\nfor Team Foundation Server RTM, have the version number (4.0) after their names\nso that you can tell what version of the process template you are about to use.\nFor example, after you upgrade, you will have both the MSF for Agile Software\nDevelopment and the MSF for Agile Software Development – 4.0 templates\navailable on your Team Foundation Server.<\/p>\n

Work items have also changed to use\ndisplay names in various fields instead of user account names or aliases. Because\nof this change, you must update any work item queries that used aliases to\nsearch for work items.<\/p>\n

Any work\nitem changed e-mail alerts created by users will be nonfunctional after\nthe migration from Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh to Team Foundation\nServer RTM. Users must manually re-create their alerts after the upgrade. For\nmore information about how to re-create project alerts, see Incorporating\nCustomizations from Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh into Team Foundation\nServer RTM later in this document.<\/p>\n

Before You Start the Upgrade<\/a><\/h2>\n

Before you start to upgrade the Team Foundation Server Beta\n3 Refresh deployment to Team Foundation Server RTM, you should perform some\nmaintenance and verification tasks to make sure that your current deployment is\nfully functional and ready for migration. Although these steps are not\nmandatory, taking the time to follow these steps will help reduce the potential\nfor problems during migration.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Verify That You Have Team Foundation Server\nBeta 3 Refresh Installed<\/a><\/h3>\n

There are two different upgrade paths supported for Team\nFoundation Server RTM: <\/p>\n

·        \nUpgrading from Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh to Team\nFoundation Server RTM.<\/p>\n

·        \nUpgrading from Team Foundation Server Release Candidate (RC) to\nTeam Foundation Server RTM.<\/p>\n

These two upgrades have different guides and different\nsteps. For this guide, you should make sure that you have Team Foundation\nServer Beta 3 Refresh installed on the server.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To\nverify that you have Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh installed<\/span><\/p>\n

1.      On\nthe Team Foundation application-tier server, open the drive:%PROGRAMFILES%Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation\nServerWeb ServicesServicesBin folder.<\/p>\n

2.      Right-click\nthe Microsoft.TeamFoundation.dll file and\nthen click Properties.<\/p>\n

3.      Click\nthe Version tab and review the version number.<\/p>\n

·        \nIf the version number is 8.0.50727.43, you have Team Foundation\nServer Beta 3 Refresh installed. Continue with the steps in this guide.<\/p>\n

·        \nIf the version number is 8.0.50727.127, you have Team Foundation\nServer RC installed. Do not continue with the steps in this guide. You must\nfollow the steps in Upgrading from Team Foundation\nServer Release Candidate (RC) to the Release to Manufacturing Version (RTM) of\nTeam Foundation Server (also included with the upgrade software) to\nupgrade from Team Foundation Server RC to Team Foundation Server RTM.<\/p>\n

·        \nIf the version number does not match either of the two numbers that\nwere discussed earlier, you have another version of Team Foundation Server\ninstalled. Upgrade from this version to Team Foundation Server RTM is not\nsupported. For more information, go to the Microsoft Web site (http:\/\/forums.microsoft.com\/MSDN\/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=68&SiteID=1<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Step 2: Connect Team Explorer to Your Team\nFoundation Server Beta 3 Refresh Deployment<\/a><\/h3>\n

To make sure that your Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh\ndeployment is available to Team Foundation clients, such as Team Explorer,\nconnect Team Explorer to your current Team Foundation Server. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To\nconnect to a Team Foundation Server<\/span><\/p>\n

1.      Start\nMicrosoft Visual Studio 2005.<\/p>\n

2.      On\nthe Tools menu, click Connect to Team\nFoundation Server. <\/p>\n

The Connect to Team Foundation Server\ndialog box appears.<\/p>\n

3.      In\nthe Connect to a Team Foundation Server list, select the Team\nFoundation Server you want to use.<\/p>\n

4.      If\nany team projects exist on this Team Foundation Server, select the ones that\nyou want to use.<\/p>\n

5.      Click\nOK.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Create New Projects on Team Foundation\nServer<\/a> <\/h3>\n

After verifying that you can\nconnect to your Team Foundation Server, create two new team projects, one using\nthe MSF for Agile Software Development process template, and the other using\nthe MSF for CMMI Process Improvement process template. After upgrade, there\nwill be two new versions of these process templates available on your Team\nFoundation Server in addition to these older versions. Verifying that the old\nprocess templates work in the Project Creation Wizard before upgrading will\nhelp in troubleshooting any potential problems after migration. <\/p>\n

Your custom process templates, if\nany, will also appear in the Project Creation Wizard process template list as\nusual. If you have custom process templates, you should also create a new\nproject on your Team Foundation Server for each customized process template.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To\ncreate a team project<\/span><\/p>\n

1.      Open\nTeam Explorer.<\/p>\n

2.      On\nthe File menu, click New Team Project.<\/p>\n

The New Team Project wizard appears.<\/p>\n

Note   If\nyou are not using the Project Management environment settings, on the File menu, point to New, and then click Team Project.<\/p>\n

Note   If\nyou have not connected to a Team Foundation Server, you will be prompted to\nconnect to one now. <\/p>\n

3.      Under\nWhat is the name of the team project? on the Specify the Team Project Settings page, type a name for the\nteam project that team members can easily associate with the software product.\nThis name is what all team members will use to connect to the team project.<\/p>\n

4.      Under\nWhich process template should be used to create the team\nproject? on the Select a Process Template page,\nselect a process template.<\/p>\n

Team Explorer includes process templates based on the\nMicrosoft Solutions Framework (MSF). By default, two process templates are\navailable: MSF for Agile Software Development, and MSF for CMMI Process\nImprovement. Your team or organization might provide additional process\ntemplates. You can see a description for each process template by selecting the\ntemplate and reading the text in The following describes the\nprocess template in more detail.<\/p>\n

Note   If\nyou want to use a process template that does not appear on the list, you must\nfirst upload the template to the Team Foundation Server. <\/p>\n

5.      Complete\nthe Specify the Setting for the Project Portal page:<\/p>\n

·        \nWhat is the title of the team project portal?   If\nyou want a project portal name different from the team project name, type a\nname that is easily identified by all team members. The site title is part of\nthe home page of the project portal.<\/p>\n

·        \nWhat is the description of the team project\nportal?   Enter a description for the project portal. The\ndescription is displayed on the home page of the project portal.<\/p>\n

The project portal is a team Web\nsite (using Windows SharePoint Services) that stores and versions team\nproject-related documents.<\/p>\n

6.      Complete\nthe Specify Source Control Settings page by selecting one\nof three options, and then click Next:<\/p>\n

·        \nYou can select Create an empty source control\nfolder. Specify a name for the folder.<\/p>\n

·        \nYou can select Create a new source control branch.\nSpecify from which folder to branch.<\/p>\n

·        \nOr you can select Do not create a source control\nbranch at this point.<\/p>\n

7.      On\nthe Confirm Team Project Settings page, review the\nchoices and values that you specified. If the information is correct, click Finish. Otherwise, click Previous to make\nchanges.<\/p>\n

The New Team Project wizard creates\nyour new team project.<\/p>\n

Note   It\nmay take several minutes for the wizard to finish.<\/p>\n

8.      On\nthe Team Project Creation Status page, view the status\nmessages and status bar that describes what the wizard is doing.<\/p>\n

9.      On\nthe Team Project Created page, select Launch\nthe process guidance for more information about how to run the team project\nif you want to read more details about the work items, roles, activities, and\nother aspects of the team process.<\/p>\n

10.  Click Close.<\/p>\n

11.  The new team project\ndisplays in Team Explorer. If the wizard encounters a problem when it is\ncreating the new team project, you will see an error message describing the\nproblem and suggesting corrective action.<\/p>\n

12.  Repeat these steps to create\na test project using each process template you intend to use in production\nprojects.<\/p>\n

Step 4: View and Add Work Items in the New Project<\/a><\/h3>\n

By using the same administrative account you used to create\nthe new projects, verify that you can view and create work items in the\nproject.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To\nview work items for a project<\/span><\/p>\n

1.      Open\nTeam Explorer and connect to the Team Foundation Server, if you must.<\/p>\n

2.      In\nthe Explorer pane, expand each test project you created.<\/p>\n

3.      In\nthe Explorer pane, expand the Work Items folder, and verify that the Team Queries and My Queries folders\nexist.<\/p>\n

4.      In\nthe Explorer pane, expand the Team Queries folder, and\ndouble-click the All – All Work Items query.<\/p>\n

5.      Verify\nthat work items appear in the query results pane. Work items are automatically\ncreated with each new project.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To add\nwork items for a project<\/span><\/p>\n

1.      Open\nTeam Explorer.<\/p>\n

2.      On\nthe Team menu, click Add Work Item,\nand then pick the work item type from the list.<\/p>\n

Note   As\nyou use Team Foundation, it automatically adds your most recently used work items\nto the top of the Team menu for easy access.<\/p>\n

3.      Complete\nthe work item form by filling in all required fields. <\/p>\n

Required fields are indicated by yellow shading.<\/p>\n

4.      On\nthe File menu, click Save All to\nsave the work item.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Delete the Test Projects from Team\nFoundation Server<\/a><\/h3>\n

After you create and verify the new projects, delete the\ntest projects from Team Foundation Server.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To\ndelete a project from Team Foundation Server<\/span><\/p>\n

1.      Open\na Command Prompt window. To open a command prompt, click Start,\nclick Run, type cmd, and\nthen click OK.<\/p>\n

2.      Change\ndirectories to the Team Foundation Server tools directory. By default, these\ntools are installed in drive:Program FilesMicrosoft\nVisual Studio 8Common7IDEPrivateAssemblies.<\/p>\n

3.      At\nthe command prompt, type the following, where projectname\nis the name of the Team Foundation Server project you want to delete and servername is the name of the Team Foundation Server:<\/p>\n

TFSDeleteProject \/Server:servername projectname<\/p>\n

4.      Monitor\nthe command prompt for any error messages when the command is running.<\/p>\n

5.      Repeat\nthese steps for every test project you want to remove.<\/p>\n

Note   For\nmore information about the TFSDeleteProject command, see the help for Team\nFoundation Server command-line utilities in Administering Team Foundation\nServer.<\/p>\n

Step 6: Check In Any Customized Reports Into Source\nControl<\/a><\/h3>\n

Check in any customized reports that you might want to keep\ninto source control. These reports will be backed up and available to you for\nmodification after the upgrade is finished. <\/p>\n

Note   Customized\nreports from Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh will not work in Team\nFoundation Server RTM without manual customization. For more information, see\nthe Incorporating Customizations from Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh\ninto Team Foundation Server RTM section, later in this document.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To\ncheck in customized report files into source control<\/span><\/p>\n

1.      Open\nTeam Explorer.<\/p>\n

2.      In\nthe View menu, click Other Windows,\nand then select Source Control Explorer.<\/p>\n

Note   Depending\non your preference settings when you installed Team Explorer, Source Control\nExplorer might be on the same menu as Other Windows.<\/p>\n

3.      In\nSource Control Explorer, click the solution where you want to add the report\nfile.<\/p>\n

4.      On\nthe File menu, click Source control,\nand then select Add To Source Control.<\/p>\n

The Add to Source Control dialog box\nis displayed.<\/p>\n

5.      In\nthe Exclude box, type the file name extensions that you\ndo not want to have added. You can enter multiple file type extensions by using\ncommas and wildcard characters; for example, *.pdb, *.obj, *.res.<\/p>\n

6.      Click\nAdd Files.<\/p>\n

7.      In\nthe Add to Source Control dialog box, locate and select\nthe report file that you want to add to source control, and then click OK.<\/p>\n

8.      In\nthe Add to Source Control dialog box, click OK.<\/p>\n

Step 7: Close Visual Studio and Team Foundation\nComponents<\/a><\/h3>\n

Before you start the upgrade, make sure that you are not\nrunning Visual Studio or any Team Foundation components, such as Team Explorer,\non the Team Foundation Server.<\/p>\n


<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/a>Single Server\nDeployment<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/a>Step 1:<\/a> Download the Upgrade Software and Run the TFSUpgradeRTM Tool<\/a><\/h3>\n

The first step to upgrading your Team Foundation Server Beta\n3 deployment to Team Foundation Server RTM is to download the upgrade software\nand resolve any potential upgrade conflicts. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To\ndownload the upgrade software and run the TFSUpgradeRTM tool to scan for any\nupgrade issues:<\/span><\/p>\n

1.      Download\nthe upgrade software from the Microsoft Web site (http:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/fwlink\/?LinkID=60341<\/a>)\nor install it from the upgrade media.<\/p>\n

2.      At\nthe command prompt, change directories to the directory where you installed the\nupgrade software. To make sure that you have the correct directory, type dir at\nthe command-line and make sure that the TFSUpgradeRTM.exe tool is listed.<\/p>\n

Note<\/b>   If you see the command\nTFSUpgrade.exe instead, you have a Release Candidate (RC) version of the Team\nFoundation Server software instead of the RTM version. Obtain a RTM version of\nthe Team Foundation Server software, or if you want to upgrade to the RC\nversion, know that the steps in this guide are not designed for the RC version\nand will differ slightly in some areas.<\/p>\n

3.      Type\nthe following at the command line, where servername<\/i> is the name of your\nTeam Foundation Server:<\/p>\n

TFSUpgradeRTM.exe servername \/verify<\/p>\n

4.      When\nyou are prompted to confirm if you want to run this command, click Yes.<\/p>\n

5.      Follow\nthe instructions that appear on the screen to resolve any reported issues.<\/p>\n

Note<\/b>   Depending\non your configuration, you might see an error message that prompts you to run\nthe witfields<\/b> command-line utility. The witfields<\/b> command-line\nutility is located by default in drive<\/b>Program\nFilesVisual Studio8Common7IDE<\/b> on any computer where you have installed\nTeam Explorer. For more information, see witfields<\/b> in Administering Team\nFoundation Server.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Step 2: Uninstall Team\nFoundation Server Beta 3 Refresh<\/a> and Team Explorer<\/h3>\n

Use Add or Remove Programs to uninstall Team Foundation\nServer and Team Explorer on the Team Foundation Server.<\/p>\n

Note<\/b>   Depending on your\nconfiguration, you might not have Team Explorer installed on your Team\nFoundation Server. If it is installed, you must uninstall it.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Step 3: Back Up Team\nFoundation Server Databases<\/a><\/h3>\n

The procedure for backing up Team Foundation Server\ndatabases in Beta 3 Refresh differs from the procedure for backing up Team\nFoundation Server databases in Team Foundation Server RTM. The procedure for\nbacking up Beta 3 Refresh databases is located online at \nhttp:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/vstsue\/articles\/500334.aspx<\/a>.\nYou should examine this document for any late-breaking changes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you have already created a backup maintenance plan, you\ncan use the latest incremental and full backups for restoration. If not, follow\nthe steps in this section to create a full backup of the following databases:<\/p>\n

·        \nReportServer <\/p>\n

·        \nReportServerTempDB <\/p>\n
