VSSGET task

[Dan MacKay <da...@KINGSTON.HUMMINGBIRD.COM>]

Hi all,

I posed this question before but never really got a satisfactory response. I
have to pull code from several VSS repositories. The problem is that my
SSDIR directory needs to be reset each time due to the fact that the
repositories reside in different locations on the network. Other than
exec'ing a getSource.bat that resets the SSDIR environment variable for each
repository. If someone has a little more experience with vssget task, is
this possible? I have looked and at first blush it does not seem so.

Thanks,
Dan

If I understand Dan correctly (and interpred repositories correctly) he need
to use several VSS databases, each with it's own srcsafe.ini. The only
documented way I (and he also as it seems) know of is to set SSDIR to the
database-directory (or the parent of the database). Since Java can not
normally set environment variables and I don't know of any other way than
using com.ms-classes and Jview I think there is no real solution possible?
You may experiment with specifying different ssdir=", optionally without any
entry in your registry pointing to the default database (if you don't need
them) but I can't tell you if that works.
