Introduction
When trying to connect to Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) from IAR Embedded Workbench using an "MSSCCI PROVIDER
":
- A few seconds passes by.
- A '
server busy
' error is shown.
Discussion
Current solution -- Use Subversion (SVN) as API
TFS can communicate via a Subversion bridge, for example SvnBridge.
Deprecated Solution -- try to get SCC to work
Important note - The IAR Embedded Workbench shared components version 8 and later (introduced 2017) do not provide SCC integration.
Try to get a working connection by adding a new key to the Windows Registry.
- For Windows 64-bit the key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider\Settings\IAR Embedded Workbench IDE\IarIdePm.exe
- For Windows 32-bit the key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider\Settings\IAR Embedded Workbench IDE\IarIdePm.exe
- For this key, add a 32-bit value “issues” (without quotation marks):
issues=dword:00000001
Conclusion
Use Subversion (SVN) to connect to Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS)
