Tips for a smoother import

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

• Install VSS Import Tool on the same machine where SQL Server database resides.
   
• Run VSS 6.0d or VSS 8.0 on the machine with the VSS database.
   
• Use a new Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere repository into which VSS data will be imported.
   
• Do not continue using your VSS database and Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere repository during the import.
   
• Branch any shared files you do not wish to be shared after the import.
   
• Purge any deleted items that are no longer needed (or recover them).
   
• Undo check out or check in checked-out items.

Note: You do not need to follow all the tips above exactly. However, we recommend you follow these suggestions to ensure a smoother VSS import.
