Vault Pro 6 VSS Import

[don.kastner]

My company just purchased six seats of Vault Pro, and we have some questions on VSS import.
1. We want to do the full VSS import rather than the VSS Handoff. In demo testing of Vault Pro 5, we used the SourceGear SourceSafe Import Tool, version 5.1.2, to test a full import. Does a tool exist for Vault Pro 6 that does the full VSS import?
2. I noted on another post that the 32 bit version of Vault Pro server is required for the VSS import. Since I did not specify 32 bit, my IT department installed the 64 bit version of Vault Pro server. Do I need to get IT to uninstall the 64 bit Vault Pro server and install the 32 bit version to allow VSS import?
3. I also noted in info on VSS import the recommendation that the Vault Pro users should be the same as the VSS users to make things easier. Should I use the Vault Pro server admin tool to create the same users as in VSS to make the import easier?

1. Does a tool exist for Vault Pro 6 that does the full VSS import?

Yes. You can dowload it here:
http://download.sourcegear.com/VaultPro ... _30598.msi

2. Do I need to get IT to uninstall the 64 bit Vault Pro server and install the 32 bit version to allow VSS import?

Yes. Since VSS and the VSS Import Tool are 32-bit apps, they only work with the 32-bit Vault Server.

3. Should I use the Vault Pro server admin tool to create the same users as in VSS to make the import easier?

You can, or you can create the Vault users during the VSS import process. The VSS Import Tool gives you the option to associate VSS users with existing Vault users. Or, you can create new Vault users during the Import configuration and make the association during the Import process.

I have a similar situation where I need to do the full VSS import. I tried the link to download the 32 bit server and it is invalid. Do you have an alternate link for the 32bit vault pro server?

Thanks,
Tom

Do you mean for the VSS Import tool or the Vault server installer?

Import tool is here: http://download.sourcegear.com/VaultPro ... _30531.msi

Vault 6.1.0 32-bit install is here: http://download-us.sourcegear.com/Vault ... _30531.msi

If neither link works for you, then send an email to support at sourcegear.com (attn: Beth) with a link to this forum thread and I'll send what you need directly.
