When a VCS check in transaction originating through the VCS Integration feature is entered into the version history on the VCS server, the user can enter a comment. By default, if no comment is entered, the Designer user name, Integration Server host name and IP address, and current time are entered in place of the comment. This information is determined by two entries in the vcs.cnf file in the Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\packages\ WmVCS\config directory.

There is one entry for the Check In command, and one entry for the Delete command. Each entry passes the current Designer user name and other information to the VCS client, which in turn sends it to the VCS server.

Anyone with write access to the vcs.cnf file can open and delete this information, or modify these entries to pass information other than the current Designer user, host name, IP address, and time for the default entry for check in and delete commands. It is recommended that you ensure that permissions are set on this configuration file so that only trusted users have write access to the file.
