Hi Thierry,

We just finished to convert to big (3GB each) VSS databases to Perforce using the VSS2P4 script.

The script itself running coorrectly, and its installation is easy. Pay attention to two elements:

1. Locate all components required for the conversion process: VSS DB, Perforce server+DB, Vss2P4 script - on the same machine. It reduces the conversion time very much (6 hours instead of 6 days).

2. Run "analyze" and "analyze -f" if needed on the VSS DB until it fixed - no error messages should be appeared. In any case that the VSS DB is not consistent (e.g. - does not passing "analyze" correctly) - the conversion process will fail.

Regards,

Yariv
