How to determine used process template in Team Foundation Server after creation of team project

Question

Hi,

I am lookingn for a way to determine what process template was used for a team project after it has been created. I can now only guess by looking at the work item types. I could not find any option in Visual Studio to retrieve this information. I need to know what processs template was used for team projects not created by myself.

Any clues?

Thanks, Neeva

Answer 1

I don't know a fail proof way to find this out.

I would recommend the following: There is a exe called witexport.exe that can export the xml of a work item. You can then look through the xml to see what kind of template was used. (ie if the conchango template is used you will see references to it.)

To run it fire up the VS Command line prompt (in the start menu). Here is an example run:

witexport /f "C:\Type.xml" /t "http:\MyServer:8080" /p MyProject /n "Sprint BackLog Item"

Hi,

I found another workaround: in SharePoint Central Administration you can see in the Site Collection list a comment that described the process template that was used. I was actually looking for a way to programatically retrieve it via the TFS API, but could not find it.
