Subject: [OzTFS] Cached check-out status


Hello,

Since we upgraded to TFS 2008 we’ve been having some trouble with undoing 
pending changes. It was due to a bug in TFS combined with our “different” SQL 
server collation setting:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2470181&SiteID=1

I’ve since reinstalled our data tier SQL server with the correct collation and 
undos are working fine again. However, since the problem began, Solution 
Explorer in Visual Studio 2008 has been showing the little person icon 
overlayed over certain files and when you hover over the icon the tooltip says 
“Checked out by someone else or in another place”. This is normal if the file 
is actually checked out but both Source Control Explorer and a TF.EXE STATUS 
query for all users and files on the server report that these files are not 
checked out at all.

The particular set of files that appear to be checked out is consistent across 
all users, machines, and workspaces so I inferred that the problem is 
server-side. I’m guessing that maybe TFS caches the check-out-count for each 
file but since our undo problem occurred perhaps the count is out of sync with 
the actual data?

I tried to check-out and undo the problem files to force the server to refresh 
their status but that didn’t help. Am I on the right track? Is there something 
I can do fix this annoying issue?

Thanks,
