Toad for Oracle version 10.6 directly supports Microsoft’s Team Foundation Server 2010. Previous versions of Toad supported TFS 2005 and 2008 only.
Also with Toad 10.6, we have aligned all the VCS support in Toad so it makes no difference whether or not you want to use Team Coding; file-based version control supports the same VCS providers.
I've created a PDF document that will give you the basics of configuring Toad’s Team Coding collaboration utility (available with all Editions of Toad) to use TFS 2010.
NOTE: There is also an accompanying video which has been built by one of our Technical Consultants, Thomas Klughardt, and takes you through the necessary steps to configure and use Team Coding with TFS 2010.
Cheers.

Re: Configuring Toad® Team Coding to use Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010
Hello,
İread the pdf and also watched the video for configuring team coding, however the TFS login popup window does not appear as it has stated at "Step 3 - Logging into TFS 2010" in the PDF document. As a result, i cannot login to TFS 2010 and cannot select the workspace to cpmlete the configuration. I apprecaite for any help.
Thanks,
Gokhan

Re: Configuring Toad® Team Coding to use Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010
Hi Gokhan,
Did you successfully specify the Team Coding options in Step 1? At the end of that step, you should have gotten a TFS login window.
"Finally, click the “OK” button to accept and save your changes. Once you select “OK”, Toad should prompt you with a login screen for TFS 2010."
Are you able to login OK to TFS natively?

Re: Configuring Toad® Team Coding to use Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010
Hi John,
I can connect to TFS through Visual Studio IDE, but after ia follow the steps you have mentioned at the doc, after clicking OK button, the popup window which asks for the workspace appears, not the TFS login popup window.
Thanks

OK. Did you specify a workspace to use? This is important so that Team Coding in Toad can map to the workspace. What happens when you force an attempt to login to TFS in Toad using Utilities | Team Coding | VCS Logon?

Re: Configuring Toad® Team Coding to use Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010
Hi Gokhan,
Sounds like the mapping has't successfully completed. I think the most direct way to fix this would be to contact our support people. If you open the Help menu in Toad and select "Support Bundle", you can email them directly from there and they will contact you to resolve this problem. I'm not sure at this point whether it's something in TFS or in Toad.
Regards,
John

Re: Configuring Toad® Team Coding to use Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010
Hi Gokhan,
Couple of additional checks for you...
Upon connecting to database, and being prompted for Workspace, is the “Work Dir” path displaying correctly?
After logging into TFS, go to Utilities | Team Coding | Team Coding Status. Does the user have all green check marks?

Re: Configuring Toad® Team Coding to use Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010
I can connect, but can not export or import via Code Control Groups. I get "path not found or not supported." When logging in to TFS the Work Dir: field is empty. I suspect it's related. How do I resolve this.
Thanks.

Re: Configuring Toad® Team Coding to use Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010
Hi Yngve,
This looks like an issue with the Work Space local folder being empty and not authentication. I think the fix is to correct the folder mapping in Visual Studio, or to set up a new folder. Here is what I can tell from the information you've provided.
• The authentication logon window in Step 3, generally does not come up anymore. Toad uses active directory authentication so it is not necessary. The only case where I see it, is when the server that hosts TFS enforces Forms based authentication. There may also be issues where you are trying to log in to TFS using a different credential. Because the workspace window comes up, it appears that you are able to authenticate.
• The empty work dir field looks like the culprit. Toad will give an error if this is blank. Toad does not allow you to modify a workspace to correct this. You can either delete the workspace and set it up again in Toad, or edit in Visual Studio. Current versions of Toad only allow mapping the root directory ($\) for the collection to a single local folder mapping . Each project will then check out to a separate subfolder under the working directory. If you are using a workspace with multiple local folder mappings, as TFS allows, then Toad will complain when checking out files, or try to create an invalid local folder structure. This is corrected in Toad 11.6, where we have allowed multiple local folder mappings for TFS.
For more information, please have a read of this blog from our Toad development team. toadfororacle.com/entry.jspa?externalID=4943&categoryID=391
Thanks,

Re: Configuring Toad® Team Coding to use Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010
Hi SalimAsan,
What do you see in the Team Coding status window (Utilities menu | Team Coding | Team Coding Status)? You should have all green ticks logged on as the Team Coding Admin - usually the TOAD user. Are you able to perform a VCS login?

Re: Configuring Toad® Team Coding to use Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010
Hi SalimAsan,
I have spoken with our development team and they think this may be a work space issue, but we cannot tell easily from the thread, what the configuration is. If the Toad Workspace window comes up, then you are most probably logging in to TFS with correct credentials.
If the workdir field is empty, then Toad is not recognizing the local folder as mapped in TFS.
The easiest way to test if this is the case, is to create a new simple TFS workspace from Toad, that maps the root ‘$\’ directory to a new empty local folder.
• Log in to Toad. When the workspace window comes up, create a new workspace from Toad. If using 11.5 or less, Toad will automatically force the workspace to the TFS Root ‘$/’. If using 11.6, make sure that there is a single folder mapping to ‘$\’. Map the local folder to a new empty windows folder, to eliminate the possibility of any conflicts with an existing workspace.
• Check Code Collections to ensure that the TFS Project is mapped correctly.
• To be safe, Log out of Toad and log back. When the TFS workspaces window comes up, use the Work Space we just created.
• Attempt to check out a controlled object. e.g Right click on Schema Browser to check out.
If there is no error, the problem is with the configuration of the original workspace. Toad may not be able to read the work space information correctly.
We will need details on the original configuration to figure out why this is. We could then try to re-create this configuration to see what is going on.
The project path for that is used by Code Collections. We do not currently support sub projects, so the project must be of the format $\MYPROJECT and not $\MYPROJECT\SUBPROJECT.
• The TFS Workspace information for the Original Workspace. The easiest thing to do is to get a screenshot from the Visual Studio Source Control Explorer and opening the edit Workspace window. Is the project mapped correctly to an existing sub folder?
• It would also be very helpful to confirm the version of Toad being used.
I hope this helps.
John

Hi SalimAsan,
Your VCPDebug.log file is located at C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\11.6 (1)\User Files. This is Windows 7 so it may be in Documents and Settings if earlier OS.
If it doesn't make any sense to you, please email it to john_pocknell@dell.com
