| Description |
|
Perforce supports creating clients as "readonly" or "partitioned". Creating clients this way can improve Perforce server performance for common build server use cases where clients may be short-lived, by reducing database contention.
In QB this configuration would be a new option when defining a Perforce repository, in the Client specification section (similar to existing Submit Options, Line Endings drop-downs). Here's some information about the Perforce feature. https://www.perforce.com/blog/vcs/read-only-clients-helix-server-20152 https://www.perforce.com/perforce/r16.2/manuals/cmdref/p4_client.html#performance.readonly https://www.perforce.com/perforce/r16.2/manuals/p4sag/chapter.performance.html#performance.readonly |
