I'm using Project to track my work items in Foundation. I open my Project file and want to do a refresh. I click refresh and it tells me that I will lose unpublished changes and whether I want to proceed or do an update. My first question would be, is there any way for me to see what the unpublished changes are?

I go ahead and do the update and I notice in the status bar where it tells me that it is updating 1 of 5 items and then it shows a status of doing a refresh. When I go to close the project file, I'm prompted to publish my changes to Team Foundation before closing. I haven't changed anything so I don't understand why I'm being prompted to publish changes. That's why I would like to see what it thinks needs to be published.

Thanks,

Fo your first question, we are not tracking the changes and we cannot view the changed part as of now.

I tried the scenario you have mentioned in the second para. I could not repro the issue you have mentioned here. However, it is just asking me if I want to save the project file.

Can you retry this and let me know the version of Project you are using? I tried with Office 11

Thanks

I'm using Office 11.

One thing I failed to mention is that my project is published to Project Server. These are the steps I took to get the "are you sure you want to refresh before publishing your changes to team foundation".

1. Open my project.

2. Republish a task to Project Server.

3. Refresh from Team Foundation.

- Get the message "are you sure you want to refresh before publishing your changes to team foundation".

- I guess the republish a task to Project Server updated my project. Sure would be nice to know what that update is.

4. I go ahead and publish to Team Foundation.

5. Then I refresh from Team Foundation.

6. Then I republish a task to Project Server.

- I then get a message "An update has not been sent to resources who have been removed from task assigments. An update with this information will be sent now." I have to go ahead and Ok that so I can republish the task. My team members have mentioned about receiving e-mails stating that a task they were assigned has been cancelled. I haven't cancelled any tasks or removed them from a task, so I don't understand why they are getting those e-mails.

- How can I see what that information is?

Has anyone else had problems trying to keep a project in synch with Team Foundation and Project Server? Has anyone been doing this successfully?

Thanks,

Allen

Looks like this Project Server Integration related issue. I am not sure if we have completely support on Project Sever. I will work with other team members and will let you know

Thanks

Sagar is right in saying that we don't have support yet for integrating Project Server and TFS. This could be causing the issues you are seeing since there isn't a clear master store for the data.

There is a sample on gotdotnet: http://www.gotdotnet.com/Workspaces/Workspace.aspx?id=b9f69ea5-ace1-4a21-846f-6222a507cc9c that shows how you can integrate Project server 2003 with TFS Beta2.

We are looking at adding this support in our next release of TFS, so you can enjoy the benefits of Project server too.

Hope this helps!
