Work Item Query Administration

Work Item Query Administration

I’ve published on codeplex a small command-line tool to administer work item queries: wiqadmin.

This tools, compatible with TFS 2008 and TFS 2010, supports the following commands:

  • List queries.
  • Export a query.
  • Import a query.
  • Rename (and/or move under TFS 2010) a query.
  • Delete a query (or a folder under TFS 2010).

The TFS 2010 version supports folders :)

Carpe Diem.

TFS 2010, no folder for build definitions

TFS 2010, no folder for build definitions

In TFS 2010 Microsoft has added the ability to organize the WorkItem queries by using folders. Unfortunately this feature is not available for build definitions and will not be available in the RTM as specified in a response to my suggestion on connect :

This feature is in their backlog but not for Dev10. If like me this feature is useful please vote for it, maybe will have it in a service pack and won’t have to wait for Dev11 :)

Carpe Diem.
