Database

A single Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere for VSS Server can serve multiple databases. You can double-click the entry in the database list to manage the corresponding database.

From Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere for VSS 5.0, users and Blowfish User Keys in all databases are managed in common sections.

The following items are managed separately for each database:

Window Items

Database Alias

Show the Alias of the database.

Srcsafe.ini Location

Show the location of each database.

Add

To add a database, press the Add button and then use the Browse button in the Add Database dialog box to select the srcsafe.ini file corresponding to the SourceSafe database. The file name should be the full path of the srcsafe.ini file corresponding to the chosen database. To hide the physical location of the database, a database alias may be created for each database. If a database alias is created, only the alias name will be visible to Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere for VSS Clients. Click the OK button in the Add Database dialog box to save the database path and alias.

Edit

To edit a database path or alias, select the database and then press the Edit button. Make any changes to the database path or alias in the Edit Database dialog box then press the OK button.

Delete

To cause Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere for VSS to no longer serve an existing database, select the database and then press the Delete button.
