Question

RH 2019 Classic and TFS 2017

We are moving to RH 2019 from RH 2017 and plan to initially use RH 2019 Classic until our users have the time to learn the new RH interface.   We are also moving to TFS 2017 from TFS 2013.  The RoboHelp 2019 documentation for configuring TFS Collaborate using Team Foundation Server appears to apply to the newer RH because it refers to the newer .rhpj project file, not the Classic .xpj project file.  Assuming RH 2019 Classic works with TFS 2017, how does one configure it?  Appreciate any assistance you can provide.

I have been going through this for a while now with Adobe. I've been told that for RH Classic 2019, I have to use TFS 2013 so I had to revert to that from TFS 2017, even though that had worked fine with RH 2015. Then to go forward, from what they're telling me, you have to go to TFS 2015 update 2 or later. With RH Classic 2019, the options for putting your project under Source Control are the same as in RH 2017, just select Add to Version Control under the Collaborate tab.

Adding the project under the new RH 2019 (not Classic) is what is shown in the documentation you refer to above because it's just the old way under RH Classic 2019.

My biggest caveat is make very, very sure you have checked in your good version of the project to TFS as well as taking multiple backups of your project locally so that should you have issues, you can revert.

Thank you for your feedback.  I take your "you have to go to TFS 2015 update 2 or later" to mean RH 2017 is compatible with RH 2019 Classic.  Is the MSSCCI Provider that is required for TFS 2013 to RH 2017 connectivity also required for TFS 2017 to RH 2019 Classic connectivity?

Don't understand why someone with Adobe hasn't created a RH/TFS version compatibility chart just like Microsoft has for the TFS/Visual Studio/SQL Server products.

I'm a bit confused by "RH 2017 is compatible with RH 2019 Classic."

Here's what I've gleaned from Adobe or my own experience:

RH 2015 was compatible with TFS 2017 and the appropriate MSSCCI.

RH Classic 2019:TFS 2013 update 5. The MSSCCI Provider is the one for TFS 2013 and is 32-bit.

RH 2019 only compatible with TFS 2015 update 2 and above.

That's my version of the table.
