Configuring Server-Side Source Control

On Windows systems, you can configure ColdFusion Server to use Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for source code management. This allows ColdFusion Studio users to access source files through a ColdFusion RDS server. Please review your SourceSafe licensing agreement for guidelines on this configuration.

Requirements

You need the following software configuration for server-side source control with ColdFusion:

In the ColdFusion Administrator, you enable server-side source control by entering values in two form fields:

In addition, you can set an Operation Timeout option that allows you to set the amount of time in seconds before a source control operation times out. Ordinarily, you won't have to change the default value.

Once you have the ColdFusion Server configured for server-side source control, Studio users can create a remote RDS server in Studio, and go about checking files in and out. For more information about source control configuration in ColdFusion Studio, please refer to Studio online documentation.
