Is there a reason why status checks applied to a commit don't pull through to the PR status checks?
Hello there, Is there a reason why status checks applied to a particular commit (from an external scanning tool for example) as part of a PR don't correctly carry up into the live PR for that branch? I can run ADO Pipeline Builds and they appear as expected, and even POST a PR status check back so it appears in the checks section, but it seems very odd that i may have X commit failing with external status checks and it not be visible/shown on the PR itself. In GitHub/Bitbucket it showcases everything in the PR view for related commits. Any advice greatly appreciated!Azure DevOps REST API - retrieve DevOps Server/TFS version
Hi all, I need to support multiple Azure DevOps Server/TFS instances. Is there a REST API to retrieve the version + other "system" info of a given instance? The ideal would be something like /status/health API (only available for DevOps Services), not even requiring authentication. Is there something similar? Thanks in advance!
Integrate Azure Git Repo to Jenkins multibranch pipelines
Hello Friends, I'm setting up CICD pipelines for our project which has code repos in Azure Devops On Prem and I'm trying to integrate it with Jenkins which is running on different Azure cloud subscription. We have sorted out firewall and whitelisting. There seems to be some issue when i try to connect to repos from Jenkin's multi branch job and throws Authentication failed error. But same is working fine when I use FreeStyle or Pipeline type jobs. Anybody did this kind of integration in the past? Not sure if I'm missing something. Please throw some light if someone have experience in this kind of setup Thanks in AdvanceAzure DevOps REST API - tag DeploymentGroups' target
Hello everyone, I am trying to setup a function in PowerShell to be able to set tags on specific targets of a deploymentgroup, and for that I am using this documentation page: https://pm6jzr2ps1.proxynodejs.usequeue.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/distributedtask/targets/update?view=azure-devops-rest-7.0&tabs=HTTP#request-body I created the request body as described in the page like bellow: { "id": 541, "tags": [ "tag1-backendWithDb", "tag1-backendWithDb-active-node", "tag2-backendWithDb-database", "tag2-backendWithDb", "tag2-backendWithDb-active-node", "tag3-blazor", "tag3-blazor-active-node", "tag4-yarp", "tag4-yarp-active-node" ] } Than I do the following command : Invoke-RestMethod -Method Patch -Uri "$baseurl/distributedtask/deploymentgroups/$($DGid)/targets?api-version=6.0-preview.1" -Credential $cred -Body ($body | ConvertTo-Json) -ContentType 'Application/json' But then I get an error like this : Invoke-RestMethod: { "$id": "1", "innerException": null, "message": "Value cannot be null.\r\nParameter name: machinesToUpdate", "typeName": "System.ArgumentNullException, mscorlib", "typeKey": "ArgumentNullException", "errorCode": 0, "eventId": 0 } The problem is that the document is not specifying any parameter named 'machinesToUpdate'. What is it that I am missing here?

How do we see the last used date for any activities within a Project in ADO
Hi, I am trying to maintain the unused projects within ADO as it appears that a lot of projects needs to be removed due to inactivity. I can see the last used date within the projects but it appears to be incorrect as I have been using certain projects on a daily basis but the last updated date seems to show last used was 3-4 months ago. I am not too sure if only title changes/description changes will modify the last updated date, but I need to see the last updated date of the project from users using the work items / boards. Is there a way i can do this?

Hello everyone, We want to run at our pipeline only one at the time. We are using exclusive lock and pipeline that is build from 4 different stages where only one has exclusive lock. After deployment we want to run next stage which is the last one including tests after deployment. After the tests will finish we want to run next pipeline. The issue is where we have in queue few jobs and I tried to add on deployment and tests exclusive lock the previous job will end deployment and next in queue which is waiting in lock for deployment should be done after tests that are also with exclusive lock but somehow azure is picking next job deployment and then is doing previous tests so it is getting duoplicated. So, Is there a way to only run one pipeline at the time and every other in queue will wait till previous one will finish all the stages?
