Hi,

It's been a long time since I blogged. While troubleshooting recently came across a very interesting issue, which I would like to share with the TFS users, so that they can benefit from it.

 Deletion of the reports from the browser window while browsing through the reports of tfs project in http:\\localhost\reports

Resolution 

STEPS PROVIDED TO BE PERFORMED

==================================

Download the tfsuploadreports.exe utility as attached below:

Open Team Explorer or Visual Studio 2005 with Team Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Connect to Team Foundation Server.
3. In the Connect to Team Foundation Server dialog box, select the Team Foundation Server.
Note If the drop-down list is empty, click Servers to manually enter the settings for the Team Foundation Server
4. Under Team projects, select one or more team projects from the list. Team projects with a check mark next to them will display in Team Explorer.
5. Click OK.
6. On the Team menu, point to Team Foundation Server Settings, and then click Process Template Manager.
The Process Template Manager lists each process template installed on the Team Foundation Server.
7. Click Download.
8. Download a new version of the process template that contains the reports you want to use in Team Foundation Server RTM and save it to a specified folder. If you want to use more than one process template, make sure that you download the new version of each process template you want to use.
9. Click Close to close the Process Template Manager.
10. At the command prompt, change directories to the directory where you installed the upgrade software.
11. At the command prompt, run the TFSUploadReports tool by typing the following, where projectname is the name of the project you want to upgrade, servername is the
name of your Team Foundation Server, drive is the drive where the templates are stored, templatepath is the path of the template directory, and templatedirectory is the name of the directory where the stock report templates are stored:
TFSUploadReports.exe /s servername /p projectname /t drive:\templatepath\templatedirectory
12. Repeat these steps for each project in which you want to use default reports
