-----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carey Matthew Black Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 10:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Looking for feedback on SourceSafe 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. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
