Define SourceSafe repository

SourceSafe repository can be defined by choosing the Visual SourceSafe menu item from the repository menu as follows:

Specify sourcesafe command location

QuickBuild utilizes the sourcesafe command (normally ss.exe) to interact with SourceSafe database. If this command is not in system path, you will need to specify location of the command by configuring Visual SourceSafe plugin through Plugin Management page.
Further more, soucesafe command location can be specified on a per-node basis by following below steps:

  1. Open Visual SourceSafe plugin setting page and set the property VSS Executable Path as: 
    ${node.getAttribute("ssExePath")}
  2. For each node that does not have sourcesafe command on system path, define the user attribute vssPath to point to the actual sourcesafe command path like below:

In case of user agent node, the user attribute need to be defined in this way.

Please note that in above example, the ssExePath user attribute is just for demonstration purpose. You can use any other user attribute name.
