Working with webMethods Adapter Connections
After they are created, adapter connections appear within a designated package in the Package Navigator view of Designer. Adapter connections are the one exception to the rule that all elements shown in the Package Navigator view of Designer are subject to VCS commands.
Because they are created and maintained in the Integration Server Administrator, adapter connections cannot be checked in or out of the VCS repository from Designer. You must create, configure, and modify adapter connections using the Integration Server Administrator (you must have webMethods administrator privileges to access the adapter administration screens).
If you want to maintain your adapter connection files in the VCS repository, you must do so manually with your VCS client.
Note: Because the adapter connection appears within a package, there will be a corresponding folder created within the VCS repository. However, this folder contains only the *.ndf file that defines the folder; no adapter connection files are placed there.
Also note that a publishable document type for an adapter notification cannot be directly checked in to and out of the VCS repository. It is automatically checked in or out when you use the VCS client to manually check in or check out its associated adapter notification.
