Finding

We are calling web services and as with all things web, things go awry occasionally. In this case we may not have gotten an timely response from the server. This does not mean that things have gone wrong, but instead that we may need to retry an action. Rather then choke the TFS Integration Platform does a “Code Review” and needs to write to its own local folder in order to save the log file required.
