re: TFS 2010 : How to apply check-in policies to only certain branches or folders

As a wise man (Dean Varillas @ cartwheels) once said, 56 branches is up to no good, just like Engelwood if you know what I mean.

Or simply use the inmeta build explorer from visual studio extension gallery visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/35daa606-4917-43c4-98ab-38632d9dbd45

re: TFS 2010 Build - Controlling QtAgent32.exe (the test agent process) startup and termination from within Build workflow

Hi Nobbir,

InvokeProcess is a workflow activity that should be available within the workflow editing experience in Visual Studio. So if you load up your build workflow and then select the ToolBox in the IDE to see the various activities you can see or should be able to see the "InvokeProces" as one of the activities you can drag and drop into your build workflow.

Ofcourse you should call it with the appropriate set of parameters for the Process (in this case the termination process ie the call to Service Control Manager - SC STOP <MACHINE> <PROCESNAME> ) to do the Agent termination.

Thanks,
Girish.

re: TFS 2010 : How to apply check-in policies to only certain branches or folders

Allen Feinberg — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 01:03:03 GMT

How do you know which Custom Path Policy applies which Checkin policies?

We have 56 branches and I can't figure out which check-in policies apply to which branch. Ideas?
