The Team Foundation Server work item database can not be opened.

today when tried import new workitem type our tfs-server strange error-message:
===
u:\workitems>"e:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\common7\ide\witimport.exe" /f newbug.xml /t tfs /p test
team foundation server work item database cannot opened. may offline system administration. try again later or contact team foundation server administrator.
===

strange thing can export workitems definitions , when try import project not exists informed of that.

same error-message when use process template editor , have tried several different workitem definitions (all validated fine).

suggestions?

please check database administrator find out if work item database taken offline or set readonly reason.

you can try edit work item in database see if can make edit verify if server side issue.

thanks
