Requirements to have it running
Scenarios to have a TFS OData Service
If you want to access CodePlex TFS, your life is easier because Microsoft already hosted a CodePlex TFS ODATA Service
under https://codeplexodata.cloudapp.net/. Besides your TFS username/password you need to know the project collection that you are planning to connect to. Click
here to understand better how to connect to CodePlex TFS.
If you want to access your Own TFS you will need to install the TFS Odata Service
to your environment and make it available over the web (IIS would be the easier way). To have more information on setting up your environment, click
here. Basically when you install the bits there's a whole documentation with the installation procedure. It would not take much time to have it running.
Once the TFS OData Service is available you can start using the App! Good Job!
The Application
Once the App is installed you will find it on your Program List. Optionally you could add it as a tile to the Start Page.
When you run it, just after the Splash screen, you will be prompted for the Access information of your TFS. One important thing is also the Profile name, which will be the name that you will identify this settings later, mainly
on scenarios when you want to have multiple servers configured by the Application(Yes, it supports it!
