Team Foundation Server 2013 integration tools?

Question

I need to run storage tasks from a proprietary system on TFS 2013.

I came across an extension called "Team Foundation Server Integration Tools" and "Team Foundation Server SDK", but they support until TFS 2012.

Is there any product that I could use to create backup tasks in TFS via REST or in other ways?

Answer 1

2012 integration tools work fine with TFS 2013, you only need to install the TFS 2012 Client Object Model . The 2012 / v11 adapter works against TFS 2012-2015 and Visual Studio Online.

There are several features that are not supported:

• Test Results Migration
• Work item migration
• Kanban colum condition

In addition to the elements already indicated on the Toolkit page .

Alternative products for work item migration are:

• Tasktop sync
• OpsHub Integration Manager

If you want to manually copy the migration, then the TFS 2013 Client Object Model will have all the necessary functions. You are looking for the WorkitemStore class as the main starting point for creating and modifying work items.

An alternative approach that you can explore is to import Excel .
