How to change the order of servers in Jaspersoft Studio? - jaspersoft-studio

In the Repository Explorer of Jaspersoft Studio, I'd like to change the order of the servers I am connected to. Under "Servers", I have 3 servers, DEV, PROD and TEST, and I'd like them to be DEV, TEST and PROD. I have tried to click and drag, with no results. How can I achieve that?

Is is not currently possible (current version 6.3.0).

Currently it is not possible, it is ordered by name. Try to name them in alphabetical order. Create a request for enhancement on Jaspersoft Studio Site.

How to open Bugs/PBIs in Visual Studio instead of a web browser when connecting to Azure DevOps Service?

I want to implement Team Foundation Server (now known as Azure DevOps Server) for source control and issue tracking. I have only used the on-premises solution previously. For this particular use case, it would be beneficial to have it hosted in the cloud.
I have deployed a VSTS/Azure DevOps Services cloud solution (as opposed to an on-premises TFS/Azure DevOps Server solution), and it seems to have all of the functionality I am used to with the web portal, except there seems to be no direct integration/plugin for Visual Studio.
I can connect Team Explorer to it and query the work items for a basic listing (as shown in the screenshot below) - but if I double click a work item, or if I click New Work Item, it opens in the web browser, not within Visual Studio.
Is this expected behaviour for VSTS/DevOps Services? Do I need an on-premises installation just to get Visual Studio integration or am I missing something? I would like to use their cloud solution as it has a lot of benefits for this particular use-case.
Which opens this:
Instead of this (below screenshot taken from the web):
Any help is much appreciated! I am hoping to get something up and running ASAP, and would rather not have to install & configure a full on-premises solution in the cloud myself. Letting Microsoft handle it is perfect.
It seems odd that there's no Visual Studio support/integration. I have tried on 2 different machines. I have connected one machine which is running Visual Studio 2017 Professional and the other has VS 2019 Professional. Both open and create work items in the web browser instead of within VS. But VSTS/DevOps Services does seem to have all of the other features of TFS/DevOps Server, as far as I can see.
The web portal is great for other stakeholders, but as a developer I like working directly within Visual Studio. In an on-premises installation you get both. Is there any way to do this on a cloud installation?
We need set the Work Items experience in Visual Studio, then we can create new work item in the visual studio.
Steps:
Tools->work items->General->change the option Landing page.
Result:

Visual Studio Team Services (was VS Online) not showing GitHub repository type

I'm trying to setup an integration between my GitHub and VSTS account.
I'm creating a build definition to build and deploy my code to my azure web app. From all the things I've read online (I've been trying to make this work for at least some 3h now) this should be so simple I'm reconsidering calling myself a developer... =/
I've added the Service Endpoint:
But it doesn't show up at the build definition:
The other service endpoints for azure work fine, I'm able to set them at the build definition, but the GitHub just won't work! I've tried signing out, using chrome's private window, removing and re-adding the endpoint, using IE, nothing makes that damn thing show up as an option in the dropdown.
Does anyone have any ideas?

After 3 days and no answer from MS I kept trying to figure it out and it seems this account is running on an old version.(?)
I have another account that's working fine and I started to compare both, here's why I think that:
Different versions
no online column and different header (Account profile vs Account/acc_name)
Perhaps you are right that your account is running in an old server.
I created one in India South and experienced the same behavior.
Then I deleted it and created one in South US and I can see my GitHub repository.

Creating a copy of an Assign to feild in Visual Studio Team Services (was TFS Online)

I am customizing a bug template in Visual Studio Team Services (was TFS Online), and I would like to add a new field called Required Information. but I would like it to be a drop down of the users that I can assign a TFS task to.
So I want a copy of the assign to dropdown.
Can this be done?
It can be done easily in on-premise TFS by modifying the process template. In VS Team Services, although you can customize work items, you cannot modify the process template directly.
Using identity (e.g. a user list) or custom pick-lists are not yet supported. The work to support those features is on-going and is targeted for the first half of 2016, per this blog.

How can I achieve this website project deployment strategy?

I have a small team working on web site project using Visual Studio 2010 and with Team Foundation server 2012.
In order to have proper control on deployment, I would like to implement my dream deployment strategy as shown in the figure ( https://www.dropbox.com/sc/foy5fh7pntreiha/AAB4L4hhbpjcm1zHi6VBLSa6a )
There is no problem for my team to perform the check in/out between their development pc with the TFS server. But I have problem to deploy code from TFS server to targeted web server.
I read many articles talking about build deploy, but for me I don't think I need to do build because mine is not a web application and we basically have all the codes in the targeted web server. We don't need to build the project into dll and then only upload to web server.
I tried using "copy website" feature in Visual Studio 2010, but on the copy website panel, it is always local programmer pc code at the left hand side and the targeted web server on the right hand side.
I wanted this deployment flow because I think this is the safest flow so that no one will accidentally upload the wrong version of code into the web server. Everyone would have no choice but to check in their code(s) into the TFS server before he/she can upload into the web server.
Please kindly help me.
Thanks
Dont do that.
Instead use Stage / Production server, Stage and Master git branches,
Tell them to exclusively work out of stage, you control the merge to master,
use deployhq or similar service to hook into git(github) and trigger automatic deployments.
Much better than VS, much safer. Should a deploy not work due to file error, DHQ will prevent the entire deployment and revert to old state.

KISS setup for Visual Studio Online

I'm trying to set up a basic setup for Visual Studio online. I'm interested in two features: Version control (which I have working) and simple ticketing with assignment (think Bugzilla). I'm a company of 1. I don't need to overcomplicate the process with an unnecessary approval processes, team boards, etc. at this stage. I just need a way of tracking features and bugs in a KISS manner. How would I set this up?
Visual Studio Online is now Visual Studio Team Services, and some links have changed too. Here's the latest docs:
Step 1: Sign up for Team Services
Step 2: Connect to Team Services to share code in Git or TFVC from Visual Studio, Eclipse, or Xcode
Step 3: Create your backlog
I would suggest all the close votes are because you haven't told us what you've tried so far or why the defaults don't work for you.
I'll make it really easy:
Step 1. Create an account at https://www.visualstudio.com/en-au/products/what-is-visual-studio-online-vs
Step 2. Read and follow the instructions at https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/get-started/setup/connect-to-visual-studio-online-vs
Step 3. Read https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/get-started/work/create-your-backlog-vs and manage your work (features and bugs) as instructed. Ignore the Portfolio backlog stuff since you don't need it.
