Source Control: EA Fails to map TFS working folder

[youssef]

I have been using TFS and VS.NET without a problem. We purchased EA 6.5 and tried to use its Source Control features with TFS. I have spent several hours and have not been able to connect to TFS. I have checked the Web, Help file, etc but nothing helpful there. The Error that I get is:
"The workspace XYZ does not map to your local working folder C:\Projects\Designs" where XYZ is my workspace name in TFS and C:\Projects\Designs is mapped correctly in TFS. I can see it in Team Explorer and I can add files, checkin/checkout OK, but EA is not working with it. I tried other folders, roots folders, and nothing worked. Anyone able to use TFS with EA? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

We were running into this problem when a user had more than one workspace.  If you have another workspace, try that name.  I was able to get it work when I tried the other workspace names.

That was a good suggestion. But, unfortunately, it did not work for me. I tried the other workspace name and that did not work. I deleted the other workspace and tried with only one workspace, ditto. I deleted all workspaces, then created a new one and named it something different than before (I called it Mylaptop) and that did not work either. If I supply a bogus workspace name, it tells me the workspace does not exist, so it is authenticating fine and finding the workspace, but for some odd reason says that the workspace does not map to the directory supplied. I have even removed all mapped projects/directories in my workspace and left only one mapped folder and that did not work. I have tried changing directory names to a single level directory, short names, long names, you name it.
If you have any other suggestions, it would be greaty approciated. Thanks.

Is there any SPARX admins or support who can shed some light on this issue. Thanks again.

We have the same problems on more than 1 machine. I'm desperataly seeking for the solution. Is there anybody who has EA working with TFS?
