First you need to make sure you have Enterprise Version of SharePoint. Then you need to configure SharePoint BI features. Activate BI features requires set of configurations on SQL/SharePoint, Possibly Kerberos configuration etc. You will get an overview of how to install/configure BI features at:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh231671.aspx. You will also get an step by step instructions at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/querysimon/archive/2012/11/26/installing-the-bi-features-of-sharepoint-2013.aspx.

actually i tried to migrate lists and document libraries from one site to another site in sharepoint 2013 and migrate sites also from 2010 to sharepoint 2013. But,I want to migrate web application from sharepoint 2013 to sharepoint online.
We are limited to creating Site collections only in SharePoint online. You cannot create/migrate the complete web application to SharePoint online in one go. You would have to migrate either a complete site collection or site level.
I have experience migrating with SharePoint migration tool from Microsoft (which is free software) and it worked well.
However, i would suggest to migrate individual site level as it would be easy to manage. I have tried migrating a site collection which failed after 40% and it was difficult to debug where the error was. I later figured it was the nintex form on a document library that was a culprit.
Good luck with your project!
You may use below methods to create apps
Using SharePoint Apps ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/get-started-creating-provider-hosted-sharepoint-add-ins )
Use the latest SPFx framework (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/sharepoint-framework-overview) to create apps.
I'm looking at upgrading my current TFS instance and planning to copy and restore databases as per Microsofts Advanced Upgrade which means I am pretty much installing the new product from scratch and restoring the databases then running a migration tool.
I see in the installation notes that you can integrate SharePoint with it as an optional extra. Why would I do this? Is the idea to store project documentation in a SharePoint Document library per project and be able to link to that content rather than as an attachment to the Backlog Items and Bugs in TFS?
I'm having trouble finding any documentation of team workflows with SharePoint and TFS and I suspect that its because no one really does it.
More importantly would SharePoint integration impede future product upgrades or moving to Visual Studio Online?
In my eyes, SharePoint as a TFS portal has become much less desirable due to the improvements in Team Web Access (eg Charting) but it still has some uses.
With the integration enabled, you will see a Documents tab in Team Explorer which will take you to the dedicated SharePoint Portal (created when you create the TFS Team Project) where all your documentation can be stored. Of course without SharePoint integration you can still happily link Work Items to documents in SharePoint, you just don't have a dedicated portal created for you.
If you are using one of the MSF process templates then some useful documents are created for you on SharePoint when you create the Team Project (xlsx reports etc). However, if you are using the much better VS Scrum template then no documents are created even if you have SharePoint integration enabled.
If you are using the Enterprise edition of SharePoint then you get some good dashboards (bugs, code quality etc.) and you can also publish your custom excel reports easily. This functionality requires Excel Services and so is not available in the standard edition (there are some dashboards created but they aren't that useful).
Share information using the project portal
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms242883.aspx
Your team can use the SharePoint portal to share information in the following ways:
Share data contained in reports or dashboards
Share team progress using predefined or customized dashboards.
Share documents, files, images.
Share team knowledge and processes using the SharePoint wiki.
Reference process guidance for select team project artifacts.
If you want to add a portal to an existing project:

I am new to SharePoint and Exploring the Office 365 Small business feature online using trial subscription.
I'm able to create 'App Parts' using Office 365 Developer Site Subscription(by using 'NAPA' SharePoint Developer tool).
Now I wanted to create SharePoint 'Custom WebPart' in Office 365 online without using Visual Studio 2010,2012,2013.
Please Guide me on this by providing some reference links for creating "Custom WebParts" in Office 365 Online and how can i use created web parts.
Edited:
Are there any online tools or sharepoint apps like 'NAPA' available for develop custom Web Parts online?
You can create sandbox solutions with SharePoint online.
But in SharePoint 2013 You can do many things just with Content Editor Web Part, javascript and REST services. And with search and display templates.
We are using such technics with our on-premise SharePont 2013. And its cover all our needs. Client Object Model and REST services cover almost all SharPoint features. For content processing you can use Content by Search Web Part with display templates. For UI you can use javascript components like JQuery UI.
I am using SharePoint 2013 and Windows 8 application.
Is it possible to connect to a PerformancePoint dashboard via the application and display items like the dashboard, graphs with drill to/drill down options?
I have no real experience with SP 2013 and PerformancePoint, the dashboard will be created by others. I need to connect to it and retrieve items.
Can you point me in the direction of a tutorial?
Thanks,
Andrew
Not knowing your Windows 8 application it hard to answer this. To truly use PerformancePoint for what it is intended, the Windows 8 application would need to expose the data thought an SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) Data Cube.
If it does you can build a PerformancePoint dashboard based on the cube's data. If you do not have an SSAS Cube, PerformancePoint may not be the solution for you.
I recommend reading this article on MSDN to get an overview of PerformancePoint, PerformancePoint Services in SharePoint 2013.
I am new to sharepoint online. At first I need to know the difference between sharepoint online and office 365 preview.
Preview site: https://portal.microsoftonline.com/Admin/Default.aspx which looms like below.
I have also the below site
Now what is the difference between the two. My goal is to create apps and webparts. Which one shall i choose? I have not installed sharepoint 2013 server/ sharepoint foundation. Can i create apps and webparts without installing server2013/foundation2013?
The Office365 Preview is running on the new SharePoint 2013 platform. If you want to build and monetize apps/web parts, you would need to go with this option, as it is the
latest and greatest.
Go to http://dev.office.com to get all of the resources you need including links to the software, tutorials, documentation, etc...
Microsoft provides a free Office365 portal specifically for developers who want to build apps on the online platform. With this, all you would need is Visual Studio 2012 and the SharePoint/Office SDK installed to build apps. You would deploy and debug directly on the online portal without needing SharePoint installed on your environment.
I hope this helps.
