Work Item Link History tables

TFS 2017 | TFS 2015 | TFS 2013

You can query for links between bugs, tasks, and other types of work items by using FactWorkItemLinkHistory and the associated dimension tables. To include details about the linked work items, you join SourceWorkItemID and TargetWorkItemID to Dim.System_ID.

For information about the measures and dimensions that are associated with these tables in the SQL Server Analysis Services cube, see Test cases and work items.

Fact Table for Links between Work Items

FactWorkItemLinkHistory is associated with the following dimension tables:

  • DimTeamProject

  • DimPerson

  • DimWorkItem

Note

This table contains links that have been removed. Links that have not been removed have the RemovedDate set to January 1, 9999. When a link is removed, the removed date is set to the date and time when it was removed. You can use RemovedDate > GetDate() to filter out links that have been removed.

You can use the following sample query to find the following types of information:

  • total number of hours for completed work

  • original estimated work

  • remaining work

  • total story points for each user story in a team project under a specified area path

    For information about the Coalesce function that is used in the sample query, see the following page on the Microsoft Web site: COALESCE (Transact-SQL).

Note

This query assumes that a user story is linked to other work items through Child links.

select @TeamProjectNodeSK = ProjectNodeSK from GetProjectNodeInfoFromReportFolder(N'/TfsReports/VSTSDF/ProcessDev10')

select @TeamProjectCollectionGuid = pc.ProjectNodeGUID from DimTeamProject p inner join DimTeamProject pc on p.ParentNodeSK = pc.ProjectNodeSK where p.ProjectNodeSK = @TeamProjectNodeSK  
-- This query finds the team project collection GUID by joining TeamProject.ParentNodeSK to TeamProject.ProjectNodeSK
