How to Fix Existing Projects in Old TFS After Upgrade to TFS 11 Beta

[Updated on March 13, 2012]

[Very useful links] How to add new tabs like storyboard and other fixes Upgrade project from Buck Hodges

When I completed upgrading my environment to TFS 11 Beta, (Upgrade to TFS 11 Beta), I found the following error in the Web Access:

[TF400508: The current process settings are either missing or not valid. These settings must be defined by a project administrator]

As shown in the following images:

This issue occurs because this page uses new work items that did not exist in the old project on the old TFS. If we create a new project, it’s OK because we will use the new process, but for the existing project, we must update them manually. So we have to do the following:

1
updateProject CollectionURL ProjectName TemplateName

See the following image

And this will import the new work items to my old project, remember that if we do customizing on the process template we will not be able to upgrade, If we have customized the type definitions provided with these process templates, we may need to modify the definition files for process configuration prior to import. In particular, if we have made changes to the workflow for those types that track backlog items, bugs, and tasks, we may need to modify the process configuration files prior to importing them.
