SoS Client and VSS

scienty77 · Post by **scienty77** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 1:01 am

Hello,
I am trying to use SoS, now.
We have two different offices set in recent times.
We were facing some issues using VSS from two different locations for the same project working at the same point of time.
One of my friend suggested me to use SOS to solve the problem.
I have donwloaded both Client and Sever from the website and Server is configured and working fine.
But I am facing problems using SOS client. The client gets all the data and datatree from SOS server. But here I would wish to continue using VSS.

In short :
1. I want to use SOS server for data exchange between 2 servers
2. VSS in the normal way.

How do I configure this. Can you please help me?

The SOS Client connects to the SOS Server, which communicates with the VSS database through the SourceSafe automation component.

The VSS client communicates directly with the database and does not communicate with SOS at all.

To get the benefits of SOS, you should use the SOS Client and SOS Server.
