Use CVS with Integration Designer and Process Center

This topic shows you how to perform common tasks using IBM Integration Designer with IBM Process Center and a traditional software configuration management (SCM) system.

If you are using Integration Designer with Process Center, you are either storing your projects in Process Center or storing them in both Process Center and an SCM system. The latter case is likely to apply if you were working with earlier versions of WebSphere Integration Developer for several reasons:

Working with two repositories introduces additional complexity to the governance system, but those can be addressed by careful planning. These instructions will help you manage that configuration successfully.

Although this topic addresses working with Concurrent Versions System (CVS), the principles also apply to other SCM systems. For more information about working with CVS or other SCM systems, see the related links at the end of this topic. You can access actions for source control management system clients that you have currently installed from the Integration Designer Business Integration view by right clicking a project and opening the Team menu.

Eclipse only allows one SCM to be associated with a project.

If you use Process Center with another SCM system, treat Process Center as a secondary repository. The SCM system is the primary storage area used by the developers as they work with their artifacts. Load projects to the Process Center intermittently, perhaps at project milestones. Do not check projects out from Process Center to make changes.

Because you work from CVS, artifacts such as business process definitions, which are solely associated with Process Center will not exist in the CVS repository.
