If Team Foundation Server (TFS) is installed on a Spanish language OS, it's not possible to associate Work Item when checking in TFS due to an exception error with the TFSWorkItemLink64.dll (4242279)

If Team Foundation Server (TFS) is installed on a Spanish language OS, it's not possible to associate Work Item when checking in TFS due to an exception error with the TFSWorkItemLink64.dll

With TOAD 13.3.0.181 and TFS 2015, when checking an object it does not show any Work Item to select. If you manually enter an existing Work Item ID and press enter, an exception is produced:

'Toad encountered an exception accessing work item dll:
TFSWorkItemLink64.dll. Error: An exception occurred in the invocation target'

The issue seems to be that Toad is coded to look for the default English names of the table and columns in TFS, and doesn't support the other localised installations of TFS.


The query Toad is running is:
 
Select ID, Title, System.TeamProject, System.AssignedTo, System.WorkItemType from WorkItem where not (State = 'Closed')
 
As a result, Toad for Oracle needs the following columns to exist with these names within the TFS database:
    
ID
    Title
    TeamProject
    AssignedTo
    WorkItemType
    State

WORKAROUND:
None

STATUS:
Fixed in the current v14.1 beta available here, and in the future commercial builds of Toad.
