Thanks for the hotfix!

One question though. I have installed the hotfix and applied the above mentioned how-to, but for some reason the workitem link in the changeset email still points to the static tfs page and not the TSWA page.

Is this supposed to be like this?

Thanks,

Marais

Marais, yes, unfortunately that is still the case. You would need to modify the version control checkin notification XSL file, similar to the instruction for the WIT XSL, to get it to point to TSWA.

If you follow these instructions you will have links to TFS in checkin notification emails. Also, if you want to have links to TSWA in these em you need to run this command in the end:

TFSAdminUtil ConfigureConnections /PublicATUri:http://server:port (where default port is 8090)

hi,

i installed the hot fix, modified the XSL file, ran tfsadminutil configureconnections to change PublicATUri, the WorkItem ID URL has the correct server name and port number but still points to workitem.aspx and not wi.aspx (which i have already changed in the WorkItemChangedEvent.XSL).

did i miss anything? need help :-)

Thanks,

Odessa

Odessa, unfortunately this is difficult to diagnose here. I'd like to know what's going on and recommend that you open a case with customer support to get to the bottom of it.

I have a test TFS server and a production TFS server running on the same network. I have emails linked to TSWA on both, and I have email notifications coming from both. The problem is, if my TSWA is currently logged onto the production TFS, and I get a check-in email alert that was sent from the test TFS, when I click the Changeset number in the email I get an error, "TF14019: The changeset 282 does not exist." I believe this is because it's looking for the changeset on the production server, (we have a higher number of changesets on test TFS, and the number doesn't exist on TFS production), since my TSWA is logged onto TFS production, and even though the link in the email looks as though it should be hitting test TFS.

Is there some way to make this work with two active TFS servers, rather than forcing a TSWA login to the server that sent the email?
