Installation

Install the msi, default location is c:\Program Files\AskeFis\TfsRollUp. The TfsRollUp.Core.* files are installed to the Plugins folder, at the default location c:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Application Tier\Web Services\bin\Plugins
Please note that the install/uninstall will restart Tfs!

Configuration

Not much, TfsRollUp is super flexible, as it uses the fields in workitem definition to determine if there's work to be done. All workitems with fields prefixed with Alm.RollUp. are processed by the plugin.

Troubleshooting

TfsRollUp uses the TeamFoundationTrace api, so adjusting the Trace settings in the Tfs web.config will add output from TfsRollUp to any trace listeners. See this post http://blogs.msdn.com/b/hongyes/archive/2009/12/04/enable-tfs-trace.aspx for info, although for Tfs 2008, it's still valid for Tfs 2010. TfsRollUp uses the API and General switches, so set them to 4 to see the Trace output.

TfsRollUp writes to the eventlog when it cannot save one or more workitems.
