Data_Path Initialization Variable

Sets the folder path to the data folder used by VSS to keep version information. Used in SRCSAFE.INI only.

Syntax

Data_Path = folder path

Example

Sets the data folder to the DATA folder in the VSS folder on the \\MIS\Developers share:

Data_Path = \\MIS\Developers\SS4\DATA

Remarks

The VSS administrator should use the default or set this variable only once (before creating a new database).

By default, VSS creates a relative data path variable as part of its setup. This variable is set as Data_Path = DATA. This default causes VSS to look for the DATA subfolder on the path where the SRCSAFE.INI file is located.
