ssrepair

Purpose

To prevent SourceSafe database corruption it is essential that no-one is logged onto SourceSafe when the 'Analyze' utility is running in one of it's repair modes.

This script forcibly terminates any open user sessions before running 'Analyze' and restores user access to the database after 'Analyze' has completed.

The script can be set up to run batch file genstats.bat to obtain database control counts before and after the 'Analyze' run.

It also reports database files open before the start of the repair.

SS

Tested with SourceSafe V5.0, V6.0.

OS

Windows NT/2K/XP Command line utility.

Usage

First check ssrights.txt to ensure that the user running this file has destroy rights. If the user does not have destroy rights analyze -d will not complain but will not delete anything either.
