VSSImporter [VSS to SharePoint Tool] - Pre Req.

-
You have to run this tool in the server where SharePoint is installed or into the SharePoint Server with Visual Source Safe 2005 installed and mapped network drive to the VSS Database Folder [Remote]. Microsoft doen't allow you to access SharePoint Resources [Except web services] without SharePoint being installed. Which eventually means, if you are not using SharePoint Web Services and using SharePoint API, you need SharePoint installed [or, run it from SharePoint Server].

Thanks.

Hi Fazlul,

My name is Simone Tam and I am an intern working for Liberty Mutual Insurance Group's Commercial Markets IT Department. I was assigned the task of migrating a VSS database to SharePoint and I had no idea where to start so I did some research which brought me to your importer tool. We have tried it out on Vista and the first part of the tool works (which copies the files and versioning from VSS) but it cannot be uploaded into SharePoint. We have been trying everything and was wondering whether the tool can work remotely, away from a SharePoint server? It appears that there is a SharePoint library missing because we keep getting an error indicating that it's missing SharePoint.

This is the error we get from the tool whenever we hit the button to load files into SharePoint:
DateTime: 7/23/2009 1:15:17 PM, Message: Error: VSSImporter - Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.---Section: getVSSDatabase

Could you shed some light on our situation?

Thank you,
Simone Tam

DBUnit is an Open Source Database Testing Framework which was created by Manuel Laflamme. DBUnit is a Database Unit Testing Framework to Test Database Driven Classes, Procedures or Functions. NUnit, MVC .NET/Visual Studio testing platforms can be used to build a standard unit test suite. Developer should create a dataset, defined within an XML file, and then extends one of a number of parent classes to inherit pre-defined functionality in order to use the framework. An IDbConnection implementation to connect to the database, then DbUnit.NET can be used to test the data access code.

Preface Data is seemingly controlling us and everything around us in many ways. Big data is more prevalent in our daily life more than what we think. Business Intelligence has become integral part for effective decision making. Data Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data Analysis has been playing pivotal role in the digital transformation processes. Current industry trend is to assess data behaviour and build knowledge libraries. Industires are dealing with billions of micro devices that are connected to the control hub and emitting time series data continuously. These devices need to be connected to the central data pipeline and thus predict or prescribe device's health, availability and possible failure points. To connect billions of devices into corporate data pipeline, we need to have Big Data repositories. This is where IoT concept kicks in. Dr. Williams, Director of MIT described a world, where "things" (devices or sensors) are con
