Modifying Elements that are in the VCS

webMethods and Intelligent Business Operations 10.2 | Integrating Cloud Applications | Service Development | Using the VCS Integration Feature to Check Elements In and Out of a VCS | Modifying Elements that are in the VCS

When you modify a webMethods solution that you have checked out from the VCS repository, keep the following points in mind:

Make sure to check in any elements that you modified with programs other than Designer (for example, HTML pages and DSPs).

Make sure to check in any elements (flow services, documents, or other elements in the Package Navigator view) that you modified with Designer.

If you have previously worked with an earlier version of Designer, you may be experienced in checking individual files in and out of your VCS (such as flow.xml and source code files). However, the VCS Integration feature works at the package, folder, and element level. Individual files are checked into and out of your VCS automatically when you work with the package, folder, or element that contains them.

If you check out …	Integration Server checks out these files for you…
A package or a folder	All of the folders and elements within the package or folder, along with their supporting files.
A service	The node.ndf file for that service Other supporting files, depending on the service type, such as flow.xml and java.frag files

Important: The VCS Integration feature requires that you disable the Automatically Unlock Upon Save option in Designer, if you have implemented it. For information on disabling this option, see Automatically Unlocking an Element Upon Saving.
