Upload or download the Microsoft Project Mapping file

  • 發行項

TFS 2017 | TFS 2015 | TFS 2013

Use TFSFieldMapping to upload and download the Microsoft Project mapping file. This file controls how Microsoft Project publishes tasks to a project that connects to an on-premises Team Foundation Server (TFS). For example, you can modify the file to support fields you added to work item types or modify the way in which existing fields are published and refreshed.

Important

Support for Office Project integration with Azure DevOps is deprecated starting with Azure DevOps Server 2019. The TFSFieldMapping command is not supported for Azure DevOps Server 2019 nor for Azure DevOps Services. Starting with Visual Studio 2019, the Team Foundation plug-in for Office no longer supports Office Project.

You can specify which work tracking fields map to Project fields. You can also control publishing behavior through the PublishOnly attribute, and designate special fields such as the context field. For the complete XML syntax of the mapping file, see Customize the Microsoft Project field mapping file. This file is the same file that was defined in the process template that was used to create the project. See Map Microsoft Project fields

The TFSFieldMapping command-line tool works for only on-premises deployments. To run the tool, open a Command Prompt window where Team Foundation Server is installed.

Version Change directory
TFS 2018 cd %programfiles(x86)%\Common Files\microsoft shared\Team Foundation Server\16.0
TFS 2017 cd %programfiles(x86)%\Common Files\microsoft shared\Team Foundation Server\15.0
TFS 2015 cd %programfiles(x86)%\Common Files\microsoft shared\Team Foundation Server\14.0
TFS 2013 cd %programfiles(x86)%\Common Files\microsoft shared\Team Foundation Server\12.0

On a 32-bit edition of Windows, replace %programfiles(x86)% with %programfiles%.

Note

Even if you are logged on with administrative permissions, you must open an elevated Command Prompt to perform this function on a server that is running Windows Server 2008. To open an elevated Command Prompt, choose Start, open the context menu for Command Prompt, and then choose Run as Administrator. For more information, see the User Account Control.

Requirements

To use the TFSFieldMapping command, you must be a member of the Team Foundation Administrators or the Project Collection Administrators security group. For more information, see Add administrators, set permissions at the project-level or project collection-level.

Syntax

TFSFieldMapping upload | download /collection:CollectionURL /teamproject:ProjectName /mappingfile:MappingFile

Parameters

Argument Description
upload | download Specifies whether to download or upload the field mapping file.
/collection:CollectionURL Specifies the URI of the project collection in the following format: http://ServerName:Port/VirtualDirectoryName/CollectionName

If you do not specify a virtual directory is used, you must use the following format:

http://ServerName:Port/CollectionName

If you have previously connected to the server, you can specify the friendly name for the server instead of the URI.
/teamproject:ProjectName Specifies the name of the project whose mapping parameters you want to modify. If the name contains spaces, enclose it in quotation marks.
/mappingfile:MappingFile Specifies the name and file path of the mapping file.

To change how work item fields are mapped to Project

  1. Open a Command Prompt window where you have installed TFS and change the directory to point to the tools. For example:

    cd %programfiles(x86)%\Common Files\microsoft shared\Team Foundation Server\16.0

    Tip

    Project isn't required to download the mapping file, however, it is required to upload it.

  2. Download the mapping file by entering the following command:

    TFSFieldMapping download /collection:CollectionURL /teamproject:ProjectName /mappingfile:MappingFile

    Tip

    If a name contains spaces, enclose the name in quotes.

  3. Open the mapping file in a text editor or XML editor.

  4. Add new mappings or edit existing mappings in the following format:

    <Mapping WorkItemTrackingFieldReferenceName="System.Id"   
   ProjectField=""  
   ProjectName=""  
   ProjectUnits=""  
   PublishOnly=""  
   IfSummaryRefreshOnly=""/>

    For example, to add additional scheduling fields to a project created using the Scrum process template, add the following mappings:

    <Mapping WorkItemTrackingFieldReferenceName="Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.StartDate" ProjectField="pjTaskStart" PublishOnly="true" />  
<Mapping WorkItemTrackingFieldReferenceName="Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.FinishDate" ProjectField="pjTaskFinish" PublishOnly="true" />  
<Mapping WorkItemTrackingFieldReferenceName="Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.OriginalEstimate" ProjectField="pjTaskBaselineWork" ProjectUnits="pjHour" IfSummaryRefreshOnly="true" />  
<Mapping WorkItemTrackingFieldReferenceName="Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.CompletedWork" ProjectField="pjTaskActualWork" ProjectUnits="pjHour" IfSummaryRefreshOnly="true" />

    The default Scrum template only maps the Remaining Work field to Project.

    Note

    For a full list of all Project field values for the ProjectField attribute, see Field mappings in Microsoft Project.

  5. (Optional) Indicate if the field is to be published but not refreshed. Add the PublishOnly attribute to the mapping section for that field and set the attribute to true. This attribute can be used to allow for team members to see a field value but not be able to change it in Team Foundation.

  6. (Optional) Indicate how summary tasks are to be refreshed in Project. Add fSummaryRefreshOnly="true" attribute to indicate that the field is never published to the work item database but is refreshed from the work item database when the row for the field is a summary task in Project, the summary task has Publish and Refresh=Yes, and the summary task contains at least one child task that is published to work tracking.

  7. Save and upload the file:

    TFSFieldMapping upload /collection:CollectionURL /teamproject:ProjectName /mappingfile:MappingFile
