Fixed bugs

This release fixes many bugs.

Known issues

TFSJobAgent

• This update has an issue in which the TFSJobAgent may have high CPU utilization.

  Resolution:

  To fix this issue, run the following command before you configure your TFS server:

  Copy

  del "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 14.0\Application Tier\TFSJobAgent\Plugins\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.SshService.JobAgentPlugins.dll"  
  
  

  Note This is the default path, adjust this path if you install to a custom location.

  If you have configured your TFS server, you have to stop the TFSJobAgent before you delete the file. To do this, run the following commands in the given order:

  Copy

  
  • Net stop tfsjobagent  
  • del "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 14.0\Application Tier\TFSJobAgent\Plugins\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.SshService.JobAgentPlugins.dll"  
  • net start tfsjobagent  
  
  
  

Windows Machine File Copy

• Assume that you have created some build definitions that use a Windows File Copy step. The step fails to run if the step parameters rely on the target system’s environment variables, such as $env:Systemdrive.

  Workaround:

  To work around this issue, update the build definition to reflect the absolute path on the target. Windows Machine File Copy will not resolve the target system’s environment parameters. These changes may require you to open your release definitions, update them, and save them again.

  For more information about Windows Machine File Copy tasks, see Windows Machine File Copy.

Azure File Copy

• Assume that you have created some build definitions that use an Azure File Copy step. The step fails to run if it doesn't find the matching resource group or cloud service name that includes the input machine group name. The step continues to work if the machine group name matches the target Azure resource.

  Workaround:

  To work around this issue, update the build definitions that have an Azure File Copy step. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. In the Azure File Copy step, the Machine Group field has been renamed to Resource Group/Cloud Service. Update this field to reflect the correct resource group or cloud service to copy the files.

  2. Provide admin login credentials.

  3. Review and then save the task.
