Temporarily Disabling the VCS Integration Feature
Before you disable the VCS Integration feature, check out any elements that you may want to work on while the VCS Integration feature is disabled. Elements that you do not check out will be recognized as "system locked" (that is, they remain locked by the VCS).
If you want to display the system locked status while you have the VCS Integration feature disabled, set the locking mode to "full" as described in
Permanently Disabling the VCS Integration
Feature. If you do not change the locking mode, you will still be unable to modify the system locked files, but the system locked icon will not appear in the Navigation panel.
To temporarily disable the VCS Integration feature
1. Open the Integration Server Administrator if it is not already open.
2. In the Packages menu of the navigation area, click Management.
3. Locate the WmVCS package in the Package List.
4. Click Yes in the Enabled column for the WmVCS package. A confirmation message appears; click OK to disable the package. After the package is disabled, the Enabled column value changes to No.
5. Locate the package for your specific VCS system (WmSourceSafe, WmClearCase, or WmSubversion).
6. Click Yes in the Enabled column for the VCS package. A confirmation message appears; click OK to disable the package.
After the package is disabled, the Enabled column value changes to No.
7. If Designer is running, close the session with Integration Server and then open a new session.
The disabled packages will remain disabled until you enable them using the Integration Server Administrator. In Designer, basic locking and unlocking is now enabled.
Note: The next time you start Integration Server, the package for your specific VCS system (for example, WmSourceSafe) will not be displayed in the list of packages on the Packages > Management page. It has been placed in inactive status and can be restored by clicking Activate Inactive Packages.
