SOS 3.5.3 + Command Line + Password

jhurrell · Post by **jhurrell** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 10:24 am

I'm trying to get SOS running via the Command Line. I have successfully managed to run the command:

soscmd -command GetDatabases -server sossvr:8888

to retrieve a list of the databases on my server, however, I cannot get SOS to do anything else.

I am trying to run the following command:

soscmd -command GetProject -server sossvr:8888 -name JHU -password -database d:\EngVSS\DOC\srcsafe.ini -project $/Eiffel/Userdoc/DB2/MASTER/DSSADM -workdir d:\Eiffel\Userdoc\DB2\MASTER\DSSADM -recursive

All I get is an error. I think this has to do with the fact that when using the SOS GUI Client I don't input a password for my username. However, the command line client requires that a password is inputted. I have tried omitting the -password option, leaving it as it is with a blank password and inputting a random word in place of a password.

Anyone any ideas? Is the best bet to get my SOS admin guy to generate a password for my username and then force me to enter it?

Thanks.

If your VSS password is blank, use -password "". (Those are quotes.)
