Hi,

In our development setup we use a remote VSS server and access it
using the VSS Remoting tool from http://www.sourceremoting.com/ by
providing the IP address and DB name to point to the correct VSS DB.
We would like to use VSoft Technologies FinalBuilder 5 for automating
our build process. We want to get latest code from the remote VSS
location and build it using FinalBuilder tools. FinalBuilder expects
the path to the srcsafe.ini file of the VSS repository. Our
FinalBuilder script works fine when we get the latest code out of a
VSS server on our LAN. We can configure the path to srcsafe.ini file
as \\<svr\vss\srcsafe.ini. In FB "Tools>Options>FinalBuilder>Source
Control Options>Default Source control provider" we are able to choose
"VSS Remoting". However, it does not seem to have an option to provide
details of a remote VSS; the IP address of the remote VSS server and
VSS DB name like in the VSS Remoting tool.

Is it possible to access a remote VSS server through Final Builder?

Thanks,
Yash

Hi Yash,

For this question, I suggest you consult the vendor of VSS Remoting to
confirm whether VSS Remoting integrates with FinalBuilder first.
