Re: WDSC plug-in for MS Visual SourceSafe?

Just curious, why would you want to use VSS with WDSC?


Sarah,

Fair question. We are new to iSeries. For right now, the iSeries is 
functioning as our database server. We hope to start migrating some 
applications from VSE to iSeries and I am trying to get our working 
environment set up in anticipation of that. WDSC is going to be a great tool 
to use.

Since about 1999, we have been storing our mainframe source programs in VSS. 
It is fantastic for version control. If there was a way to interface with 
VSS from WDSC, it would be incredibly convenient. Our workflow starts with 
checking out a source from VSS and then editing it, compiling, etc. If we 
could do the check-out and check-in from WDSC, it would just be simpler. 
It's a not a big deal if we can't because each of the development staff 
already has the VSS client on their desktops.
