Choosing Local Server Locking or VCS Integration Locking
You can configure the webMethods Integration Server to support either of the following two forms of locking:
Local locking, applied within the
Integration Server file system.
Locking resulting from integration with a third-party version control system (VCS) repository; in this case, elements are locked and unlocked as you check them out of and in to the VCS repository.
The locking administration tasks described in this chapter refer to local locking on the Integration Server. If your server environment does not make use of a version control system, configure the Integration Server for local locking as described in the following sections.
You can use the local service development feature in Designer to work with a third party version control system. For more information about local service development, see the webMethods Service Development Help
