scmuser created the topic: Perforce tickets issues
Some of the devs on my team have been asking about whether Perforce tickets really need to be bound to IPs. It’s pretty annoying to have to re-authenticate when switching from wireless to wired. When we first switched to OTP, I don’t recall it working this way, but perhaps I’m misremembering… Was this a change that was made later or has it always been this way since OTP went into use?

Not sure if you have got solution for your problem or not. If not, please use –a while login which will obtain ticket that is valid for all IP address and host till 24 hours.

Such as…

p4 login –a

rajeshkumar created the topic: To know Password last changed for this perforce user
I have come across 2 ways..

1/. User form field will have following options…
PasswordChange: Read-only

The date and time of the user’s last password change. If the user has no password, this field is blank.

OR
p4 -p IP:PORT -u users -l | grep

Some checks need to be done.

1. Check .p4ticket folder exist or not? .p4ticket can be found iin %USERPROFILE%\p4tickets.txt(windows) and $HOME/.p4tickets(other OS)
2. Check .p4ticket file permission and its directory permission. May be its not able to write entry in .p4ticket due to permission issues.
3. Last options, deleting .p4qt folder. Remember this will delete all of your old existing reference. Instead deleting you can rename it. .p4qt folder can be found in %USERPROFILE%\.p4qt in windows and ~/Library/Preferences/com.perforce.P4V/ in mac and ~/.p4qt/ in unix.
4. Post me if you could not get it fixed 🙂

Rollback vs Back Out in perforce
Both of these operations restore a set of files to a previous state. The difference being:

Back Out Submitted Changelist X
The restore operation is restricted to the files submitted in changelist X.

Roll Back
Rolling back can involve any number of files and to any point. You tell Perforce what point you want to rollback to (a specific rev, CL, label). The files are restored to the state that they were in at that point in time (a specific rev, CL, label).

Very useful reference is given in following url…

pradeep created the topic: Performance of Perforce Forwarding Replica (Smart Proxy)
Hi Guys,
Does any one uses or tend to use Perforce’s Forwarding Replica (also known as Smart Proxy)?
From their documents it seems like a good option. But I would like to know from a User’s perspective on its performance and its response time.

Please reply with any comments you have on this.

rajeshkumar created the topic: perforce user deletion issues.
Today i was trying to delete some perforce users and found some strange issues as below;

Problem
p4 user -d -f raj
User rajhas file(s) open on 2 client(s) and can’t be deleted

p4 -u raj-c -H opened
Access for user ‘raj’ has not been enabled by ‘p4 protect’.

p4 client -d -f raj_client
Client ‘raj_client7’ has files shelved; use ‘shelve -df’ to remove them, and then try again.

p4 -u raj -c raj_client -H revert -k //…
Access for user ‘raj’ has not been enabled by ‘p4 protect’.

Solution which I found out.

The messages receiving show that access for the user ‘raj’ has been disabled by removing all entries corresponding to this user from the Perforce Protections Table.

You can check this by running:
p4 protect -o | grep raj

Note you must be a superuser to run this command.

Granting the user ‘raj’ access to the areas of the depot where they have files open or shelved will allow you to delete these workspaces and shelves. You will then be able to delete the user from Perforce.

More information reference…
www.perforce.com/perforce/r10.2/manuals/…protect.html#1064878

Problem –
Client ‘bb_Workspace’ has files shelved; use ‘shelve -df’ to remove them, and then try again.
