Third-Party Integration The following clients have integration solutions provided by other vendors: • Eclipse • Linux client • Apple Macintosh client • HTML Web client If you want to access TFS Version Control from Eclipse IDE, Linux, or Macintosh clients, consider installing Teamprise from http://www.teamprise.com/ If you would like read-only access to TFS Version Control from the Internet, consider using Team System Web Access from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/enus/teamsystem/bb676728.aspx Custom Integration Other clients have no integration solution currently available. You can either access TFS Version Control from the command line or build your own integration solution. To learn more about working with TFS Version Control, see “Walkthrough: Working with Team Foundation Source Control from Command Line” on the MSDN Web site at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zthc5x3f(VS.80).aspx You can use control scripts and command files to automate the use of the command line. To learn more about working with control scripts and command files, see “Team Foundation Source Control Scripts and Command Files” on the MSDN Web site at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1az5ay5c(VS80).aspx Additional Resources • To download the MSSCCI provider from MSDN, go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=87E1FFBD-A484- 4C3A-8776-D560AB1E6198&displaylang=en • If you want to access TFS Version Control from Eclipse IDE, Linux, or Macintosh clients, consider installing Teamprise at http://www.teamprise.com/ • If you would like to access TFS Version Control from the Internet, consider installing Team System Web Access at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/enus/teamsystem/bb676728.aspx • To learn more about working with TFS Version Control, see “Walkthrough: Working with Team Foundation Source Control from Command Line” at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zthc5x3f(VS.80).aspx • To learn more about working with control scripts and command files, see “Team Foundation Source Control Scripts and Command Files” at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1az5ay5c(VS80).aspx • To learn more about TFS Version Control extensibility, see “Walkthru: The Version Control Object Model” at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/enus/library/bb187335(VS.80).aspx
How to Automate Common Version-Control Tasks To automate common version-control tasks, use the Team Foundation command-line tool (tf.exe). With this tool, you can do everything that you can do with Source Control Explorer, including source control operations (add, check-in, checkout, get, lock, label, and more), branching, shelving, workspace manipulation, and general administration tasks. The main reasons for using the command-line tool include automating repetitive operations and scheduling operations to run at specific times or on specific events by using the Microsoft Windows® Task Scheduler. The following commands are also only available from the command line: • Deleting another user’s workspace • Undoing another user’s checkout • Unlocking another user’s lock • Defining label scope • Performing a baseless merge To ensure that the appropriate path and other environment variables are set up, run the command-line tool from the Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt window, or run the Vsvars32 batch file, which is normally located in DriveLetter:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools. Tf.exe is installed as part of the TFS client and is located by default in the following folder: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common 7\IDE. To run the command-line tool, you must specify a server name with the /s switch. The following command shows how to view the files in source control on the server named YourTFSServer: tf.exe dir /s:YourTFSServer Additional Resources • For more information, see “Walkthrough: Working with Team Foundation Source Control from Command Line” on the MSDN Web site at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zthc5x3f(VS.80).aspx • For more information, see “MSDN Team Foundation Source Control Command-Line Reference” at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc31bk2e(VS.80).aspx How to Work Offline Offline working is not supported natively by TFS Version Control.
