Platform, Hardware, and VCS Requirements
The VCS Integration feature has no operating system, JDK, or hardware requirements beyond those of the host Integration Server and the VCS client.
The VCS Integration feature requires Integration Server version 8.0 or higher and Designer 8.0 or higher.
After the initial installation, Designer can connect to supported Integration Servers that are running with or without the VCS Integration feature.
The VCS Integration package is designed to work with the following version control systems (VCSes):
VCS | Version |
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe | 6.0 and 2005 |
IBM Rational ClearCase | 7.0 |
Subversion | 1.4, 1.6, and 1.7 |
The following are required for Integration Server to work with any VCS:
The client software for the VCS must be installed on the same computer as the
Integration Server that is running the VCS Integration feature.
The VCS client software must be executable by the user account that is used to start the
Integration Server, and must be included in the PATH statement for that user account.
Each
Integration Server user that interacts with the VCS Integration feature must have full read and write permission for the files the user is checking into and out of the VCS repository.
The VCS Integration feature does not provide you with a direct connection to your VCS. If you cannot connect to the VCS through your VCS client software, you will receive an error message each time you try to check packages, folders, or elements in to or out of the VCS from Designer.
The VCS Integration feature offers no support for configuring or manipulating the VCS server environment.
