I have searched for its resolution but could not find any working solution. Can you guys please help me in troubleshooting and fixing this issue.

Thanks for help.

These problems may occur when a solution is removed from the farm before the corresponding features were deactivated from site collections and sites. The Health Analyzer will place this issue in the Configuration category with the title Missing server side dependencies.

Follow the below tried and tested solution it will work for sure.

Thanks for your reply. The link which You have provided helped me a lot.

I do not know if the process which I have followed is right or wrong. I looked for the "Missing Server Side Dependency" in sharepoint central administration site.

I found that some of the folders which were present in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES"were missing from the folder  "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\FEATURES".

I just copied the missing folders from "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES"  and pasted it to  "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\FEATURES".

After doing that clicked on "Reanalyze Now " button. And after few seconds "Missing Server Side Dependecies" went away. This resolved the above issue for me.

Can you please let me know if this process can have adverse impact or it will  damage my existing sharepoint & TFS 2013 environment.

Please clear my doubt.

Thanks.

By copying the required files to FEATURES folder I don't see any impact on SharePoint environment by this. 

However this is not recommended way to fix the solution.I will suggest not to mess up with 15 hive in any case because anything here and there will create a big mess.So lets just avoid that.

Thanks.

Please let me know if I have answered your question.

Thanks for reply. But If this method is not recommended then I must Upgrade the feature or solution. But I do not know how to do this.

As from the error itself it says that I need to upgrade the feature/solution which contains the missing file.

Can you please help me how to upgrade the feature to latest version.

Thanks looking forward for help.

This is NOT the answer. Perhaps read the original post properly.

It's saying you have 2010 solutions that need upgraded. Many of them look to be TFS bits.
