How can I change the time interval for the generation of reports in TFS 2010?

Question

I installed TFS 2010 just to test, and I have no experience with previous versions.

Now, the problem is that I have just created some New Bugs items but when I run the Report "Bug Status" they are not shown.

Are these reports created and cached at certain interval of time? Is there a setting that I can change to force the creation of a report?

Thank you in advance, Marco

Answer 1

You'll need to update the refresh frequency of the warehouse: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms244694(VS.80).aspx

1. Log on to the application tier of Team Foundation Server.

2. Start Internet Explorer.

3. In the Internet Explorer Address box, type http://localhost:8080/Warehouse/v1.0/warehousecontroller.asmx.

4. On the ControllerService page, click ChangeSetting.

5. In the settingID box, type RunIntervalSeconds.

6. In the newValue box, type the new number of seconds, and then click Invoke.

7. This opens a confirmation web page which indicates that the RunIntervalSeconds setting was changed.

You may also need to change the IncrementalProcessingIntervalSeconds parameter (this is something we picked up in 2010). The blog post below covers this pretty well, as we now have a few more settings to work with regardingreport refreshing:
