ssdelist

Purpose

List files in the SourceSafe database that have been deleted but not yet purged i.e. are taking up space in the database.

The list can be used to get final confirmation from the users before the irrevocable step of running purge.bat to physically compress the database.

To assure valid results, ssrights should be run first, and any necessary rights added to ensure that you have rights to every project.

SS

Tested with SourceSafe V5.0 V6.0.

OS

Windows NT/2K/XP Command line utility.

Usage

ssdelist

If you want to change the default SourceSafe database processed by the tool, then before running ssdelist, you need to tell VSS where to find the SRCSAFE.INI file for the alternate database by typing the following at the MS-DOS prompt:

set ssdir=\\server\share\vss

Where \\server\share\vss is the folder where the srcsafe.ini file is located.

Warning! Don't put a space between the equal sign and the location of the VSS server installation!
The following will not work:

set ssdir= \\server\share\vss.

This will work e.g :

set ssdir=J:\test\60ZDSSite

After running the utility remember to :

'set ssdir=' and press the enter key

Outputs
