Let's be clear. SSAnalyzer is not a product to identify corruption in the internal structure of SourceSafe. Microsoft provides several tools to address data corruption.

SSAnalyzer provides a global picture of several difficult-to-detect conditions that exist in your repository. SSAnalyzer also provides the tools to help you quickly and effectivley make the necessary changes with confidence.

Recommended usage

Once you have cleaned up your repository, using SSAnalyzer on a monthly or weekly basis will quickly identify any continuing user-training problems. Using SSAnalyzer this frequently will minimize the level-of-effort (LOE) required to keep your repository as clean and mean as possible. Consider running SSAnalyzer every time you run your SourceSafe tools to address data corruption, because in many ways the problems SSAnalyzer identifies are worse than data corruption.
