Hi. I am currently working on a plan to upgrade my company's TFS server from TFS 2008 to 2012. This will be a migration-based upgrade, so I'll be moving to a new server. The old server URL is something like http://tfs1:8080/ and the new server URL will look like http://tfs2:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/.
I've done a test upgrade, and verified that AX 2012 can attach to a new TFS 2012 server, but, to switch over, it seems like, if I change the URL, then I have to set up a new repository folder, and that kicks off a whole new sync, from scratch. I'm not sure if that will cause the status of checked-out files to get lost or confused. Does anyone know if that's the case?
Is there a way for me to change the URL in a config file somewhere instead of doing it through the menus (Version Control > Version Control Parameters), and would that help me avoid having to switch the repo folder?
I'd like to be able to do the upgrade in such a way that we don't have a requirement to check in all files first, but I've found conflicting info on the web about whether or not that's possible. Thanks in advance for any advice.
