Problems when using Visual SourceSafe

Visual SourceSafe does not support triggers

Most Version Control systems support some ability to execute programs or scripts when certain events are ‘triggered’ in the Version Control System.

Visual SourceSafe does not support this concept, and so the UD6/CMtool Driver cannot use the INUSE file to determine the location of ‘checked out’ files.

March Hare supply an alternative technique for when Visual SourceSafe to locate the ‘checked out’ files, using additional parameters in the assignment file, SHADOW-FOLDER and SANDPIT. E.g.:

USYS$UD6_PARAMS=shadow-folder v:\, sandpit c:\sandpit
