Sync w/TFS fails using TeamPulse template

[David]

I have a new TFS team project, configured to use the v1.0 TeamPulse template. When i attempt to sync with it from TeamPulse, I receive errors below (see attached). Shouldn't the teamPulse template work 'as is'?

Or am I missing something basic?

"The allowed values for the Status/State field for the TeamPulse 'Story' entity and the TFS 'User Story' work item type do not match."
"The allowed values for the Status/State field for the TeamPulse 'Task' entity and the TFS 'Task' work item type do not match."
"The allowed values for the Status/State field for the TeamPulse 'Bug' entity and the TFS 'Bug' work item type do not match."
"The allowed values for the Status/State f..."

Thanks,
Dave

Hello David,

I am sorry for the problems you are facing.
TeamPulse template should work "as it is" for sure. May I ask you to provide us with few more files from your TFS and TP instances in order to find the exact problem?
Please provide us with work item types from TFS as follow:
1. Go in TFS -> Tools -> Process Editor -> Work Item Types -> Export WIT and export the follwoing item types without Global List Definitions:

• User Story
• Task
• Bug

2. Go in TeamPulse -> Settings -> Project Settings -> Edit Advanced Settings and create backup of this xml file.

After we receive all these files, we'll have more visibility of what exactly is the problem you are facing.
Once again - sorry for the inconvenience. TramPulse team is waiting for your reply.

Regards,
Lora Borisova

Thanks - where should I email these files?
