The following is a list of our suggestions for a smoother VSS import:

• Install VSS Import Tool on the same machine where the SQL Server that you are going to store SourceAnywhere database resides.
• Run VSS 6.0d (Build 31222) or VSS 8.0 on the machine with the VSS database.
• Use a new Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Standalone repository into which VSS data will be imported.
• Do not continue to use the VSS database and the SourceAnywhere Standalone repository during the import.
• Give up the project labels you do not actually need.
• Branch any shared files you do not wish to be shared after the import.
• Unpin any pinned items you do not wish to be pinned after the import.
• Purge any deleted items that are no longer needed (or recover them).
• Undo check out or check in checked-out items.
• Import only the VSS data you need. You may filter the history data during importing: http://www.dynamsoft.com/help/SAW%20Sta ... Filter.htm
• Backup the old VSS data by archiving. You may take a look at this article for more information: http://www.kevingao.net/sourcesafe/how- ... abase.html
