...

You need to run following command in console:  %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd unlock config -section:system.webServer/modules

TFS4JIRA Synchronizer upgrade

I want to upgrade the synchronizer < 5.2 to latest release

Due to the Entity Framework bug, the pre 5.2 to 6.0.2 (or newer) upgrade requires two steps. First, you have to install Synchronizer version 6.0.0 (Web installerOffline installer), make sure it works and then upgrade to newest version.

Upgrade finished without any complaints but the only working page is Log, and I see "(0x80004005): The foreign key constraint does not exist. [ PK___MigrationHistory ]" error in the log

Direct upgrade from version 5.1.x or older to version 6.0.2 or newer is not possible. You have to upgrade Synchronizer in two steps. First, uninstall your current version and install Synchronizer version 6.0.0 (Web installer, Offline installer), make sure it works and then upgrade to newest version.

Not all of the values from TFS / VSTS are visible on the mappings screen (for example only subset of State fields can be chosen).

Remove folder  <synchronizer_path>\App_Data\TFSClientCache  and check again if all of the TFS / VSTS values are on the list now.

I want to synchronize only JIRA Issues and TFS / VSTS Work Items of some types and ignore other items.
