Error connecting to Team Foundation Server using MSSCCI Provider

Hi,

we are currently testing Team Foundation System to see if it is suitable to replace our current source control system VSS 6.0d and are having problems connecting to TFS via MSSCCI provider. We are using the following:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Explorer Version 8.0.50727.147

TFS MSSCCI provider V1

PowerBuilder 10.2.1

I selected 'Microsoft Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider' as the Source Control System in the IDE and then try to select a project and a dialog box for 'Connect to a Team Foundation Server' is displayed in which I select our server and the following error is displayed:

Method not found: 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.TeamFoundationServer Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer(System.String, System.Net.ICredentials)'

Now I did not receive this message before when using the Beta 2 of the MSSCCI but then again I was getting another error and still could not connect to Source Control.

Any Ideas? Is anyone else having this problem connecting to any other IDE's?

Regards,

Greg

Through my searching of the blogs I found a link to the latest TFS MSSCCI Provider v1.0 and downloaded this just to check it was not a later version and this file was twice the size of the original msi which we downloaded so I uninstalled the odl one and installed the latest one (I assume it was the latest) and this gets around the above issue.

However I now have another issue where the 'Choose Folder in Team Foundation Server' dialog is displayed where I can select the project however the Ok/Make New Folder and Add buttons are diasbled on this window and I cannot continue any further.

Any suggestions? Should I raise this in another thread and close of the current one?

Regards,

Greg

Hello,

I'm sorry for the long response time. The Powerbuilder was not been tested before releasing the latest version of the TFS Provider and we are currently working on fixing issues reported recently. I'm afraid the current version can be hard to work with v1.

Could you describe in which scenario you are stucked on the "Choose folder" dialog? Is it during Adding project to source control?

Thanks

Greg, you should create new folder in project before (from Team Explorer on the Feam Foundation Server machine).

I'm tested MSSCCI provider with PowerBuilder 8.0 and it's works fine. But with PowerBuilder 9.0 and greater it crahes. Here is PowerBuilder log:

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

Sorry for my English.

Thanks for the reply Anton, that has helped us narrow the problem down to something the Sybase has probably changed with the way the implement the SCC API in PB 9/10.

I have opened a case with Sybase, Case 11258166, Microsoft is also looking into this issue however the MSSCCI provider works with most other IDE's again pointing to a potential problem with PowerBuilder.

If I hear any more details from either Microsoft or Sybase I will post the information in this thread.

We definitely want to fix this bug in the next release of TFS Msscci Provider. Unfortunately there is no ETA for it right now. Please check this forum and Brian's blog to learn any news in this topic.
