Or you could try the CVS proxy plug-in for SCC.  (SCC is Microsoft's API/protocol for SourceSafe.)  I've played with it on development AR servers, and it works OK.  I've never tried it for extended periods or on production servers.  Still, it's a nice little tool...

On the whole I have an ambivalent attitude toward source control on ARS.  It gives other development groups and managers (the PHBs) the mistaken impression that we actually have "source."  In reality, we have the opposite of source code -- we're storing exported, rendered definition files.  There is no AR preprocessor.  There is no AR compiler.

I will grant you that it's nice to be able to lock out code that's under construction.  However, I've experienced two kinds of events in which SourceSafe really gets in the way of productive work.  First, I've been stuck with AR objects that are checked out (locked) by people who left on vacation.  That's a pain, but not a real killer.  Second, I've been on projects where SourceSafe has crashed.  There's a good reason why Microsoft's internal development teams don't use SourceSafe...  It isn't reliable and it doesn't scale.  At least this was the state of affairs throughout the late 90s and the early 00s.  If SourceSafe has recently gotten more reliable and scalable, that's nice.  (But I kinda doubt it...  I mean, consider the "source.")

Balaji,

 

            Good luck! ;)

 

            In short, you would have to export each object into a def file and Checkout/Commit via command line or IDE (i.e., WinCVS).  This is a place where Remedy/BMC just falls short…
