You need to consider controls when several people share work on a project.
When working in a team environment, one way of working may be to allow all users to edit resources concurrently, then merge the various files later. This approach is not a good approach when working with WebSphere® Integration Developer unless all the users are very familiar with managing the physical files for artifacts and working with their code. To help avoid overlapping changes to files, set up the repository systems to avoid concurrent modification. For example, set up ClearCase in exclusive checkout mode or use the Watch/Edit feature when using the CVS repository system.
