I am confused. The article at top promises a "smooth upgrade path from Beta 2 to the final release". However, when I read the "TFS 2010 Beta2 to RC Upgrade Guide (v1.01)" for the Production Upgrade Path, it says I have to uninstall TFS2010 Beta 2. I have a lot of work in the configuration of our Beta 2 installation and don't want to have to redo all of this. Is the uninstall required only for RC and RTM will offer an upgrade path without uninstall? Or, with the uninstall, is all of the configuration left in the registry and in SQL Server so that it works like an upgade when the wizard is run?

Thanks,

Matt

If we setup TFS 2010 Beta 2, will we be able to upgrade to the final release and keep our data, work-items etc.?

Yes you are correct, in the Beta 2 release code generation from the UML Class Diagram was very difficult. The good news is that we are working on a code generation extension to the product that will make this task much easier. The current plan is to have the functionality available through a Power Tool sometime after the final release of Visual Studio 2010.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi,

Out of box, I cannot generate c# code directly from the 2010 Beta 2' s class diagram. I have to write my own T4 template to do so. I think it is fairly standard task (generating code from class diagram). Do you plan to add such functionality for official release of 2010, i.e. make it work out of box? Thanks.

I am currently running a testing environment that I would like to install TFS 2010 Beta 2. I have a 3 GB SQL Server (not much, but its all that I need for testing purposes). Here are the databases that I plan to create:

TFS_Configuration

TFS_Warehouse

TFS_ProjectCollection01

TFS_ProjectCollection02

TFS_ProjectCollection03

ReportServer

ReportServerTempDB

How should I divide up the 3 GB among these databases?
