Fields Used to Configure an SCM TFS Instance

The following settings are used to configure an SCM TFS instance for the Code Insight project.

SCM TFS Instance SettingDescription
TFS URLProvide the URL of the TFS with which to synchronize. Note the following example URL formats. For the latest version of TFS: <protocol>:<tfs\_host>:<port>/<collection>/<project> For earlier versions of TFS: <protocol>:<tfs\_host>:<port>/<collection>/<tfsroot>/<project>
UsernameProvide the user name that has access to the TFS collection to which this instance is synchronizing. If you are synchronizing with a VSTS project in TFS, enter the user name from the alternate authentication credentials enabled in VSTS. For details about enabling alternate credentials, refer to “Special Requirement for a VSTS Project in TFS” in the “Integrating with Source Code Management” chapter in the Code Insight Installation and Configuration Guide.
PasswordProvide the password associated with the user name provided. If you are synchronizing with a VSTS project in TFS, enter the password from the alternate authentication credentials enabled in VSTS.
Changeset(Optional) Provide the changeset number to which the SCM TFS instance is synchronizing. If no value is provided, this value defaults to the latest revision. If a changeset and label are both specified (see the Label description next), the label is ignored, and the instance synchronizes to the changeset.
Label(Optional) Provide a specific label to which the SCM TFS instance is synchronizing. If a label and changeset (see the previous Changeset description) are both specified, the label is ignored, and the instance synchronizes to the changeset.
