We are migrating from TFS 2013 to TFS 2018. We heavily used the SharePoint
integration in TFS 2013 to categorize and maintain version history of
related project documentation within permission-restricted areas. We would
like to migrate the documents and metadata from the SharePoint contents over
to SharePoint 2016 in some way that can still be relatable to TFS 2018.
Since TFS 2013 SharePoint contents are stored in the TFS database, is there
a way to migrate this data to a SharePoint 2016 database?
If not, is there another migration path available that would enable us to
continue having the version history, categorization, and permissions
features we need in TFS 2018?
TFS 2018 does not support Sharepoint integration.
Your statement "Since TFS 2013 SharePoint contents are stored in the TFS database" is not correct -- Sharepoint content is stored in Sharepoint. You can migrate that Sharepoint instance however you'd like. However, in TFS 2018, there will be no integration, so the TFS-specific web parts in your Sharepoint site(s) will not be functional.
You simply need to disable Sharepoint integration after the upgrade to TFS 2018. There is also an upgrade guide to get you to Sharepoint 2016.

How do we access/view SSRS reports in SP 2013 (On-premise) from Office 365 SP site. Both SP sites in different domains.
You need to create and publish to a Reporting Library.
Here's Microsoft's documentation on the subject.
This is just the beginning stages and if you're unaware of this there's likely a lot more configuration needed on your farm to get this operating. I would strongly suggest bringing a SharePoint Administrator on board.
I'm trying to access a PowerView spreadsheet in Sharepoint 2013 and I get the error below:
An error occurred while loading the model for the item or data source 'EntityDataSource'. Verify that the connection information is correct and that you have permissions to access the data source.
Here is what I have:
Server 1 - Sharepoint 2013 Server, with RS for Sharepoint Add-in installed, Analysis services feature installed
Server 2 - Contains the SQL Server installation which is used for holding the CRM 2013 databases as well as Sharepoint 2013 Config and Content databases.
I have created a Power View report in Excel 2013, using the OData
feed from my CRM 2013 organization. I saved this as .xlsx file and
uploaded to my Sharepoint site as a normal document.
I have
created an SSRS Application in Sharepoint Central Administration and
configured it to run under a service account
I have added the
following 'Servers' under my Excel Application -> Data Model settings
in Sharepoint
SQLServerName
SQLServerName\SQLInstanceName
SharepointServerName
SharepointServerName\SQLInstanceName
I have enabled the PowerView Integration Feature,
Report Server Integration Feature in my sharepoint site collection
features.
I am trying to browse to my sharepoint site and click to open the .xlsx file and I get this error.
Below is the detailed error message:
Cannot create a connection to data source 'EntityDataSource'.Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SPClient
We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.
We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.WebServicesWe cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.
This question has been asked a couple times on the SharePoint SE site.
There is an MS support article from Microsoft that addresses this error. It suggests you do the following:
In the Application Management section of the Central Administration home page, click Manage service applications.
On the Manage Service Applications page, click the Excel Services service application that you want to configure.
On the Manage Excel Services page, click Data Model.
Click Add Server.
In the Server Name box, type the name of the Analysis Services instance that you want to add.
Click OK.
If that doesn't work, someone solved this problem by installing SQL Server 2012 SP1.
Someone else solved this issue by ensuring that the account used for Excel Services is an SSAS admin and then rebooting
Thank you #mmarie for the answers/comments.
I was able to partially resolve the issue by 're-installing' the Analysis services on my Sharepoint server. So it turns out I installed it the wrong way first. Followed this article to fix it.
Analysis services for SP 2013
I'm currently experiencing problem with the 'Data Refresh' within the Power Pivot/Power View reports. I have added my service account to the '"Act as part of the operating system" role on the Sharepoint server based on this article Data Refresh, however it did not resolve the issue.
Please let me know if anyone has any inputs.
One of our clients had purchased Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Online recently for implementation. As CRM 2015 Online is available now, is there any option for auto upgrade to CRM 2015, as no customization as been done so far. I couldn't find the information anywhere including http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/crm-purchase-online.aspx. What are the upgrade cost/discounts involved if he's going for an upgrade?
Online organizations are upgraded at no-cost.
You will find the scheduled timeframe for the upgrade inside the Office365 portal.
Here the relevant Technet page:

I use SharePoint 2013 and Performance Point Service for create Business Intelligence report.
I need more functionality in report generate.
I found that Power View in this scenario can help me but I do not know How I can install and configure Power View in SharePoint 2013?
You can enable Power View for SharePoint by installing and configuring the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint 2013. There is a good guide for installing and configuring the BI features of SharePoint 2013 here. If you already have BI features on your SharePoint farm, here's how to configure Power View.
Basically, you need to:
Install SQL Server 2012 SP1 CTP3
Uninstall Report Services - Native if you have installed it
Install Reporting Services – SharePoint & Reporting Services Add-In for SharePoint Product
Install Analysis Services In Tabular Mode and Data Tools Install SharePoint Reporting Service
Install and Configure Power Pivot for SharePoint
Configure Performance Point Services
Configure Reporting Services
Check SharePoint Power Pivot Integration
Be aware that the data source for Power View must be a Power Pivot model, SSAS Tabular Model, or SSAS Multidimensional model (Power View for SharePoint only, must have SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU4).
I'm want to create some SharePoint 2010 Web Part which could retrieve data from Dynamics CRM 2011 web service. I can not add references to the CRM dlls because the web part will be using assemblies of .Net 3.5 version, and I get a troubles when I try to deploy my Web Part with assemblies of .Net 4.0 added.
Can I use these Web services without adding CRM assemblies?
You could use a service reference which targets the WSDL-endpoint. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg509052.aspx for more information.
