Configuring the WmVCS Package to Work with Visual SourceSafe

Field

Entry

Command Timeout (msec)

Period of time, in milliseconds, that a command has in which to execute. If the command does not execute within that period, it times out.

If you want to use the default of 60000 (one minute), leave this field blank. To change the default, specify a positive integer. If you want to have no timeout, enter -1.

Note:

The timeout is applied to each command. When Visual SourceSafe operations join several commands, the timeout is the sum of the timeouts for all the commands.

Working Folder

Fully qualified path to the Visual SourceSafe working folder in the Integration Server file system in which to store your working files. Software AG recommends that you specify the Integration Server_directory /instances/instance_name/packages directory, or an individual package in that directory.

VSS Project Name

Name of the project in Visual SourceSafe that contains all of the files and directories you work on. Typically, this path begins with a dollar sign ($), to indicate the Visual SourceSafe root project (for example: $/Project/Team/Module).

Allow Multiple Checkouts

If Visual SourceSafe is configured for exclusive check out, clear this check box. If Visual SourceSafe is configured for non-exclusive check out, select this check box.

Important:

Software AG recommends that you configure your VCS for exclusive locking to prevent users from checking out files from the VCS client after they have been checked out from Designer. The VCS Integration feature does not support "diff" or merge operations. If you use non-exclusive checkout and multiple users check out the same element, only the first user to check in will be successful. The other users will receive error messages.
