Using the Local Service Development Feature
The local service development feature is a Designer feature that you can use to develop Integration Server packages locally as Eclipse projects. With this feature, you can check package elements and their supporting files in to and out of a version control system (VCS) directly from Designer.
To connect Designer to a VCS client, the local service development feature uses the following components:
A local development package, which is an
Integration Server package that is intended to be used with the local service development feature.
A local development project, which is an Eclipse project that contains the associated local development package.
A local development server, which is an
Integration Server instance that is installed in the same installation directory as the
Designer instance you are using.
