You can configure Team Foundation (TFS) version control to use a proxy server, which caches copies of version control files in the location of a distributed team. Using a proxy server can significantly reduce bandwidth requirements for remote developers.
You can access a TFS proxy from a Microsoft Dynamics AX client by updating the registry through Visual Studio or by setting an environment variable.
To update the registry through Visual Studio
-
Follow the procedure at Configure Team Foundation Version Control to use Proxy Server.
-
Connect Microsoft Dynamics AX by using the same parameters you would for a physical server. For more information, see How to: Set Up Local Version Control Parameters (Developer).
To set an environment variable
-
Open the System Properties window. For example, in Windows Server 2008, click Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system settings.
-
Click Environment Variables.
-
Click New… to create a new system variable.
-
In Variable name, type TFSPROXY.
-
In Variable value, type the URL of the proxy.
