This topic deals with how to set up Team Foundation Server (TFS) as a version control system for Microsoft Dynamics AX.
To set up the server you will need to:
Connect Team Explorer to TFS.
Create a team project.
Add all of the developers to the team project as members.
Restrict developer access to the system settings.
Note
We recommend that you restrict access to the VCSdev.xml file to prevent developers from modifying global version control settings.
To connect Team Explorer to TFS
In Team Explorer, click Tools > Connect to Team Foundation Server.
Type the name of the Team Foundation Server if it does not appear, and then click OK.
To create a team project
Click File > New Team Project.
Follow the instructions in the New Team Project Wizard to create a project.
To add all of the developers to the team project as members
Click View > Team Explorer to display Team Explorer.
Right-click the team project, point to Team Project Settings, and then click Group Membership.
Add the developers.
To restrict developer access to the system settings
Click View > Source Control Explorer.
Expand the team project, and then double-click Definition.
Right-click VCSdef.xml, and then click Properties.
Click the Security tab.
Set the permissions of the group that contains the developers so that developers cannot modify the VCSdef.xml file.
