Jenni,

My two cents...

* Visual SourceSafe (VSS) is very lacking as a Source Control system.

* However, it is easy to get setup and running with the existing ARS
"integration" to MS SC API.

* You likely will find the details of how VSS works to be
disappointing from a technical implementation point of view. ( What do
you mean I have to have a common file server to do Source Control?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@#$%!!!!!!!)

* You also will likely dislike what you have to do to get all of your
existing ARS objects under VSS control. (Hours of watching an admin
tool twitch with popup after popup as each object is committed one by
one to VSS. Days of time if your talking about the ITSM
application(s). All of your ARS objects get "changed", timestamps and
some VSS info stuffed into them, in that process so your ARS server
will be thrashing while that is going on too.) <rant> There really
should be a command line utility that could do this for you from the
Remedy Server side, but to my knowledge no one has bothered to go do
that.  Most likely due to the lack of support for MS SC API from any
platform other than M$ OS's.</rant>


HTH.
