TFS Web interface is not rendering the date field with respect to “daylight saving”

by XDK 29. January 2015 18:28

Explanation:

TFS Web interface is not rendering the date field with respect to “daylight saving” which is causing the confusion between the date field displayed in web access and visual studio IDE. The TFS date fields populated with the date during “daylight saving” on and time as 23:00 are displayed as next day in Visual Studio IDE which is logical and expected.

Solution: 

Install latest "Daylight Saving Time (DST)" update for windows on your app tier(s).

Using the Job Id, you can get the job execution details from the Tfs_Configuration database tbl_JobHistory table

SELECT * FROM [Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_JobHistory] where [JobId] = 'XXX'

Following query gets the "Team Foundation Server Send Mail Job"  details

SELECT * FROM [Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_JobHistory] where [JobId] = 'B1516502-4633-432B-BDB3-74C802C5F2B7' 

tbl_JobHistory table field details

1) Job ID – Every job in the system has a unique id.

2) Job Agent ID – Every AT/Job Agent has a unique id.  This field is useful if you have multiple application tiers and you want to know which one the job executed on so that you can investigate the event log or performance counters.

3) Result – This is an integer that represents the result of the job. 

   0 = Succeeded

   1 = PartiallySucceeded

   2 = Failed

   0 = No reason to execute the job

   1 = Job has a schedule

   2 = Queued manually

   4 = Queued manually while already in progress

   8 = Queued due to previous result (Blocked, Inactive)

5) Start Time – The local time that the job started executing on a job agent

6) End Time – The local time that the job finished executing on a job agent
