VSS to TFS Field Notes
Today I was in New Jersey converting a VSS Database to TFS 2008. I came across a couple of very interesting issues. The VSS database was first of all around 44Gb. A bit on the large size for VSS. The VSS database was at least 5 years old and has been previously upgraded to VSS version 6.0. Not sure of what versions the VSS database had gone through. Anyway the first issue I ran into was that I could not get past the VSSConvert Analyze step. The VSSConvert utility keeps telling me that the VSS is not 6.0, and for sure it is. I even ran the VSS Utility DDConv as a precaution to make sure. The error I kept receiving was: TF60008: The VSS database version is older than 6.0. The VSS converter only supports database versions 6.0 or above.
