(1) TFS4JIRA version 1.6.2 or older requires .NET 2.0 framework on Windows hosts.
(2) TFS 2008 support requires installing TFS Web Access to enable viewing file history and diffs in JIRA.
(3) In order to TFS-JIRA issues synchronization work, TFS4JIRA Synchronizer webapp must be installed on a machine with following features installed:
- .NET Framework 4.0 or newer
- SQL Server Compact Edition 4.0 (required even when full SQL Server version is installed)
- TFS 2012 Update 4 Object Model (used to connect to the Team Foundation Server; works for all versions of TFS including TFS 2008 and 2010).
- IIS version 7.0 or newer with ASP.NET feature enabled - it should be enabled in Programs in Control Panel. Please remember that IIS Express version won't work with Synchronizer. On Windows 8.x and Windows 2012, ASP.NET 4.5 feature must be enabled
(4) The synchronizer-based check-ins scanner does not support TFS 2008. In this environment you need to use the JIRA plugin-based check-ins scanner
(5) TFS 2008 is not supported in JIRA Cloud environment
Do not configure the synchronizer to use MS SQL Server
While it is technically possible to use the synchronizer's configuration files to connect to a different database than SQL Server Compact (for example to MS SQL Server), such a configuration is not tested and not supported. If you do reconfigure the synchronizer this way, it might work, but in case of problems, you are on your own
