SourceSafe Action

 Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Visual Build Pro provides the SourceSafe action and SSHELPER tool to automate access to Microsoft Visual SourceSafe.  The SourceSafe action creates a step for configuring database operations. See SourceSafe.bld and Analyze.bld for sample usage.

 

When the step is built, the SourceSafe action invokes the VSS ss.exe command-line executable to perform the requested operation.  Some options do not apply to all operations and will be excluded from the generated command-line.

This action has been tested with SourceSafe 6.0 and 2005 and may work with other versions as well.

 

Notes:

•See the VStudio.bld, SourceSafe.bld, and Analyze.bld sample for a project utilizing this action.
•See the ContinuousIntegration.bld sample for a sample of incorporating SourceSafe into continuous integration builds.
