Commands recommended for Perforce

ccollab addchangelist - Attaches an atomic changelist to a review

ccollab addp4diffs - Uploads diffs generated from p4 diff2 command

ccollab addversions - Attaches any 2 given versions to a review

ccollab commit - Commit changes in the review

ccollab addp4job - Adds all numbered local changes that fix a job to the review

ccollab admin syncusers - Synchronizes the Perforce user list with the Code Collaborator server

ccollab admin changelist update-id - Updates the changelist ID so Code Collaborator reflects the renumbered Perforce changelist ID

 

The addchangelist command will upload Perforce changelists into Code Collaborator.  You can upload changelists either before or after they are submitted, but you cannot upload the default changelist.

Configuration

In most cases, the Command Line Client can automatically detect your Perforce configuration.  Try testing your configuration to verify the configuration is detected correctly.

If the Command Line Client is unable to detect your Perforce configuration or you want to override the detected settings, you can manually specify Perforce settings using global options.

To manually configure the Command Line Client to use Perforce, execute the following command:

ccollab set scm perforce

 

Perforce-specific Options
