Visual SourceSafe Setup

To set up your system to work in conjunction with the TIBCO Designer Visual SourceSafe component, follow these steps:

Procedure 

  1. Install a Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 6.0 Client on each machine from which you wish to use TIBCO Designer in conjunction with a Visual SourceSafe database.

    Only the Client Programs component is necessary on the machine where TIBCO Designer runs.

  2. To make the Visual SourceSafe database available, set the ssdir environment variable to the location of the Visual SourceSafe database. The ReadMess.htm file included with your client explains how to do this on the command line:

   set ssdir=\\server\share\vss 

Where \\server\share\vss is the folder where the Srcsafe.ini file in the VSS database is located.

You can also set this variable permanently using the control panel.

Note: If you do not set this variable, your SourceSafe client cannot find the database where the shared project is located.
