Author Topic: How to change Source safe database (Read 5707 times)

nestevao · « **on:** March 24, 2011, 01:50:20 am »

Hello,

We are controlling versions trough MS Visual Source Safe. We had to change the SS database and we made a copy of the old one and created a new database. All files were checked-in and synchronized.

How can I change in EA Version Control (EA 8.0.864), the SS database to use.

Thanks in advanced,

Nuno

What have you tried?
Isn't it just a matter of setting the correct working folder?

Hello,

I can't edit an existing control version configuration, so I can't change anything about it (except the local directory).

Last time we needed to change source-safe database, I had to create a new configuration and change all packages to the new configuration. We have a lot of packages :-/

I would like to be able to edit the existing configuration and change the source database.

I think the version control configuration is stored in the registry somewhere.
Also on each controlled package there are some version control settings saved (t_package).
Changing either of those directly might be enough, and it might save you some time.

Many thanks.

I've searched the registry before and found nothing about the version control settings but I've searched again and found a reference in a long, long, very long

string value of a VCConfig key which includes the source-safe database reference.

Problem solved, thanks again.
