About this Guide
This guide contains information for using the VCS Integration feature provided with webMethods Integration Server. This includes information for administrators who want to integrate with a version control system (VCS) and information for developers who want to create business integration elements using files that are maintained in an external version control system.
Important: The WmVCS package, which provides the functionality for using the VCS Integration Feature, is deprecated as of Integration Server version 9.9. Software AG recommends that you use the local service development feature (Local Version Control Integration) to check package elements and their supporting files into and out of a version control system (VCS) directly from Designer.
