I'm trying to connect my AX 2009 installation to VSO (recently renamed to VSTS).
After browsing some forum entries I know that I have to install the following:
- Install Visual Studio 2008 (not the Express Edition)
- Install Team Explorer 2008
- Install Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (This will upgrade both VS2008 and Team Explorer 2008 to SP1)
- Install VSTS 2008 Forward Compatibility Update
The installation order is important because the SP1 will update VS and Team Explorer, so I followed that order.
Then I created a project in Visual Studio Online.
Now I want to connect my AX 2009 with the repository in VSO. The VSO is hosting a TFS, so this should work.
As far as I could find out to configure the TFS settings you need to set the Version Control Parameters and the System Settings. I did both as shown in the following screenshots:
When I'm setting the Version Control Paramters the Internet Explorer opened and I needed to authenticate with my User and Password against VSO (so this seems fine to me).
The final step now would be to Create the Repository (Tools -> Developer Tools -> Version Control -> Create Repository. But when I try to do this I get the following error-log: Team Server connection error. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
The settings in 7 could be wrong - I'm not really sure what values are to set there.
Any help is appreciated.
