TFS2015 modified Scrum Template Tfs_Warehouse DimWorkItem System_WorkItemType always null

99 views Asked by At

We use a modified Template based on the Scrum template. Basically there are some new fields introduced we are need for our deployment process.

After some time we looked into reporting and take a look in the Tfs_Warehouse database and notices that the Field System_WorkItemType is null all the time. We can also see this effect on the original Scrum Template which we left in it's original state. Does someone ever had a similar effect.

On our test environment for TFS 2017 we can not reproduce the problem but we are unable to switch to TFS 2017 anytime soon.

Pleas try following below steps to fix that:

  1. Make sure the field System.WorkItemType is in use. For example:

    cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE witadmin listfields /collection:http://server:8080/tfs/CollectionLC /n:System.WorkItemType

  2. Manually process the TFS data warehouse and analysis services cube to force sync the data.

Check the issue again after the sync.

If that not work, just try to Rebuild the data warehouse and cube, then check it again.

If that still not work, just try to create a new team project with the default Scrum template, check if the issue occurs there.
