08-25-2006, 8:04 PM yvetteop Joined on 08-25-2006 Posts 9 Work Remaining for Product Backlog Items not being updated Hello We are using version 1.1 and in my project I have sprint backlog items linked to product backlog items.  The SBIs have work remaining values that are being updated by the team members.  However on the linked product backlog items the work remaining field is empty for all items.  Following the guidance in an earlier thread we have confirmed that we have installed team explorer directly on the TFS server.  We have turned on tracing for the Scrum eventing service but my admin says that she sees no event messages in the server's application log that look like they apply to sprint backlog item changes. Any suggestions on where we might look to figure this out? thanks -yvette    Report

It was mentioned that you have to change on of your SBIs work remaining value to something different and save it. This triggers the work remaining calculation on the PBI it's linked to. I just went in on one of mine, set it to 1 hour less, then 1 hour more and it worked.    Report

08-28-2006, 9:14 PM yvetteop Joined on 08-25-2006 Posts 9 Re: Work Remaining for Product Backlog Items not being updated Thanks However my team members are actively working and changing the work remaining on their sprint backlog items.  I also specifically changed the work remaining on one of the SBIs myself and saved it. My server admin says she sees no related event log messages even though we have the scrum event tracing turned on. None of the PBI have any work remaining numbers at all.  It appears that the service that does the aggregation is not running at all.  What should I be looking for on the server? thanks -yvette    Report

So the absence of event log messages may mean the Service is not running or it is running and sees no problems. The Eventing Service is a web service. So you could log onto your TFS Server and see if it is available. Open up IE and navigate to http://localhost/Scrum.Eventing.Service/SprintBacklogItemChanged.asmx If it is there, you should see a method called Notify. Assuming it is, we need to determine if the Service thinks it is aggregating ok. I could do a temporary build with extra traces in (i.e. a trace every time the Service receives an event), if you would like to try this. If so, please email me at mark.lines-davies@conchango.com and I'll create a zip and email it back. regards Mark Lines-Davies Conchango, Egham, UK      Report

Can the web service be installed manually?  Can we reinstall the methodology template without messing up the exiting projects? -Yvette    Report

After doing this, you could open IIS Manager on your TFS Server. Under the node for the local computer, you should see "Web Sites" with "Default Web Site" beneath it. Under that, you should see Scrum.Eventing.Service. Inside that, there should be two config files and the SprintBacklogItemChanged.asmx file. regards Mark    Report

Thanks very much for your help. -Yvette    Report
