I really wanted to get off of PVCS because it's so slow here. May be not the tool's fault entirely.
I would actually blame the tool. We found it incredibly slow as well, even in "file server" mode.
I tried PBSCC in PB 10.2. It seems to work OK. If you don't mind me asking, is there any specific reason why you didn't consider the open source plugin?
We tried a number of different plug ins. We actually went with Unified SCC first, but ran into a problem with operating correctly on Windows 7. So we switched to PushOK. We didn't find the licensing cost for PushOK prohibitive. It's only needed by the PowerBuilder developers.
When you moved off of PVCS, did you bring the SCC history into SVN? I see one free migration tool from Polarion, but I haven't tried it yet.
Yep, and we used that tool to do it. Try a few dry runs before you do it for real, as it took some tweaking of the settings before we got clean results.
