![]() enabled (default true) - flag indicating whether or not the service should be enabled.ensure (default running) - state of the service.osgroup (default perforce) - group owner of the server.osuser (default perforce) - user owner of the server.class _proxy.log) - location of the log file for the server The class does provide a pkgname parameter that can be used to change the package that will be installed. The simplest way to get the helix client installed is by including the class: Detailed administration information for these components can be found in the online guides below: Specifically, this module manages the command-line tool (p4), server (p4d), broker (p4broker) and proxy (p4p). Helix is a version management system that incorporates a combination of services. This module is used to manage various Perforce Helix components that are available as Linux packages. ![]() Usage - Configuration options and additional functionality.Module Description - What the module does and why it is useful.Thus, P4Transfer can operate as long as it operates in an environment where it can reach each of the target p4d servers, even of those p4d servers cannot communicate directly with each other, e.g. Helix native DVCS requires a direct connection betwen the related p4d servers, whereas P4Transfer requires only a connection from a client machine to each of the p4d servers. P4Transfer is subject to submit triggers that may block its operation, possibly intentionally. P4Transfer can be interfered with by custom policy enforcement triggers on the target server. P4Transfer requires more initial setup than Helix native DVCS. The nuance in history differences rarely has practical implications. However, it is an emulation of history rather than a raw replay of actually history in the native format as done by Helix native DVCS. integration history, resolve options, etc.). P4Transfer data quality is excellent in terms of detail (e.g. P4Transfer can be run as a service for continuous operation, and has successfully run for months or more. P4Transfer is reasonably fast as a front-door mechanism. If there aren’t too many snags, this trial and error process is viable. If P4Transfer does have issues with importing some data (like the above example with Unicode paths), you can manually work around those snags, and then pick up with the next changelist. (For example, if you try to copy paths that actually do have Korean glyphs in the path name to a non-Unicode server, that ain’t gonna work). P4Transfer can work with mismatched server data sets (different case sensitivity, Unicode mode, or P4D settings) so long as the actual data to be migrated doesn’t cause issues. ![]() it does would a human with a p4 command line client, fleet fingers and a lot of time could do. P4Transfer automates front-door workflows, i.e. P4Transfer can make timestamps more accurate if it has 'admin' level access, but does not require it. ![]() P4Transfer is community supported (and with paid Consulting engagements). If not already enabled, it requires 'super' access on both Helix Core servers involved in the process. Helix native DVCS must be explicitly enabled. If Helix native DVCS hits data snags, there may not be an easy way to work around them, unless a new P4D server release address them. ![]()
