Note: You can switch off the option to load workspaces from the Perforce Server. By only loading workspace details for the currently active workspace, the workspace load also has been significantly optimized,. There is a configuration option to enable/disable "Automatically Load P4 Workspaces from P4 Server." If Automatic load option is not checked, logging on to Perforce will only load workspaces that have been saved to the client ini file during a previous session. There is al manual 'Reload from Perforce' option, to load all workspaces from the Perforce server. You can enter all workspace information manually, or load the information from the Perforce server. |
More about Team Foundation Server and SQL Navigator
In order to use SQL Navigator’s Team Foundation Server support, you need to have Team Foundation Server (TFS) installed on your network. Please review Microsoft's documentation for instructions on installing and configuring TFS.
Additional requirements are needed to work with TFS work items.
Team Coding includes two methods for interfacing directly with TFS: an internal client and an external client. Although they have identical TFS functionality in SQL Navigator, each client has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. See your TFS administrator before configuring it in SQL Navigator.
|
Internal TFS Client Uses Microsoft’s Web Services API to directly communicate with Team Foundation Server. |
Advantages: Improved speed (over the external client) No need to install additional software on the client machine Disadvantages: Does not include support for Check-in Policy items Certain administrative tasks, like deleting workspaces are not supported |
|
External TFS Client Uses Microsoft’s command-line Team Foundation client to communicate with Team Foundation Server. This command-line client is included with Microsoft Team Explorer, and should remain consistent throughout versions. |
Advantages: Expected compatibility with future versions of Team Foundation Server Supports all features of Team Foundation Server, including Check-in Policies Disadvantages: Much slower than the internal client since an instance of the external client is launched for each TFS command issued to the server Requires the installation of Microsoft Team Explorer |
TFS Work Items
Team Coding check-in includes the ability to link one or more TFS work items to the check-in change set.
The following system requirements must be met:
- You have the necessary Microsoft Client Access License (CAL) to update work items in Team Foundation Server.
- .Net framework 4.0 installed.
- Team Explorer or Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 or 11.0 (VS 2010 or VS1012)
- SQL Navigator installs a required DLL (TFSWorkItemLink32.dll or TFSWorkItemLink64.dll depending on the version) in the SQL Navigator program directory
- SQL Navigator registers the DLL with the required .Net assembly (.Net Regasm.exe).
To set up Work Items
- Go to View | Options | Source Control.
- With TFS selected as your provider, click Settings.
- On the Check in / out tab, select Associate Work items with Change Set.
- Click OK in the confirmation.
To Use Work Items
- Check out a Team Coding controlled object.
- Make a change and check it back in.
- Open the Work Items tab in the check-in dialog and enter or select one or more work items.
- Click OK to check in the item.
This change set will now be linked to the selected work items.
