TFS 2013 Default Report Deploy

Question

My installation of TFS started with a basic install in TFS 2010. Since then it has been upgraded to 2012 and 2013 most recently. We have never modified the process templates. We use the MSF Agile templates. Again, they are the default templates. Recently, I added a report server to our deployment and wanted to deploy the default reports. I followed the instructions at the following page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn130125.aspx

I received the following error:

TF400587: This element defines the states for work items that appear on your backlog. Each state must exist in at least one of the work item types belong to category defined in: 'RequirementBacklog/States'. The following state does not exist in any of the work item types: New. The following element contains an error: TaskBacklog/States. TF400587: This element defines the states for work items that appear on your backlog. Each state must exist in at least one of the work item types belong to category defined in: 'TaskBacklog/States'. The following state does not exist in any of the work item types: New.

However, when I look in my ProcessConfiguration.xml and task.xml, New is there

<RequirementBacklog category="Microsoft.RequirementCategory" pluralName="Stories" singularName="User Story">
    <States>
     <State value="New" type="Proposed" />
     <State value="Active" type="InProgress" />
     <State value="Resolved" type="InProgress" />
     <State value="Closed" type="Complete" />
    </States>
...
</RequirementBacklog>

and in the Task.xml

<WORKFLOW>
            <STATES>
                <STATE value="New">
                    <FIELDS>

                <STATE value="Removed" />
            </STATES>
...
</WORKFLOW>

and in User Story.xml

<WORKFLOW>
      <STATES>
        <STATE value="New">
            <FIELDS>
            <FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ResolvedDate">

            <FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ClosedBy">
                <EMPTY />
            </FIELD>
            <FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ActivatedDate">
                <EMPTY />
            </FIELD>
            <FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ActivatedBy">
                <EMPTY />
            </FIELD>
            </FIELDS>
        </STATE>
        <STATE value="Active">
          <FIELDS>
            <FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ResolvedDate">
              <EMPTY />
            </FIELD>
            <FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ResolvedBy">
              <EMPTY />
            </FIELD>
            <FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ClosedDate">
              <EMPTY />
            </FIELD>
            <FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ClosedBy">
              <EMPTY />
            </FIELD>
          </FIELDS>
        </STATE>
        <STATE value="Resolved">
          <FIELDS>
            <FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ClosedDate">
              <EMPTY />
            </FIELD>
            <FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ClosedBy">
              <EMPTY />
            </FIELD>
          </FIELDS>
        </STATE>
    <STATE value="Closed" />
    <STATE value="Removed" />
  </STATES>

This happens when I run the following command to deploy the reports

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2013 Power Tools>tfpt addprojectreports /collection:"http://tfs_location:8080/tfs/group" /teamproject:"project /processtemplate:"MSF for Agile Software Development 2013"

As far as I know, there are no updates to TFS or SQL that I am missing. I see no errors in the server log.

My question is, how do I fix this? I haven't done any modifications and I need teh default reports.

I get "Parameter name: valueValue cannot be null."

Update:

Here's a snippet from Categories.xml

  <CATEGORY name="Requirement Category" refname="Microsoft.RequirementCategory">
    <DEFAULTWORKITEMTYPE name="User Story" />
  </CATEGORY>  
<CATEGORY name="Task Category" refname="Microsoft.TaskCategory">
    <DEFAULTWORKITEMTYPE name="Task" />
  </CATEGORY>

Answer 1

You probably need to setup your Categories appropriately. You need to ensure that your User Story Work Item Type is included in the Requirements Category.

You can download (or upload) the Categories.xml file using witadmin.exe.
