WorkItems with TFS Version Control

[GaryF]

Is there any way to associate a TFS Work Item when doing a Check-in of a package into TFS from EA.

We are not using the Visual Studio MDG. We have just setup Version Control with TFS in our EA project. However we would like to be able to associate changes to EA packages/Diagrams etc with TFS Work Items.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

From memory you can do it if you're using the SCC wrapper for TFS, but not if EA is set up to directly call TFS.  But anyone with actual experience on the topic is more than welcome to comment further.

That got it working. It seems strange that the TFS specific setting does not support the selection of a Work Item on Checkin, but the Generic SCC option does. Does this mean the generic MSSCCI provider for TFS has better integration than EA's native integration?

Anyway, once I set the Version Control settings to use SCC instead of TFS then the TFS Check-in dialog box appeared and allowed me to select a Work Item to associate with the check-in.

I think I was lucky that I already had the MSSCCI provide installed (I think I installed it while testing something else). I will have to test this on a clean PC to see if I need to install the MSSCCI driver, or if it is there by default.

Thanks. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
