Assuming that the lastest Perforce release still follows the older releases's schema (spawning of children to handle requests), this has already been answered before here:

Hi ALL,

P4 Svr in Location A, a remote place maintained by an IT Guy who is not a perforce user.

Me : I m the p4 super user starting, stopping, creating chkpoints etc by ssh login to that server.

Scenario: The IT guy wants to shutdown the server for some purpose, he uses kill -9 to kill p4d. When we get back to restart, is there a possibility to lose data ??? or is this fine with p4d .. to kill it abruptly once in a while ? ?

Rgds, Ganesh

I looking for the best way to group a bunch of directories together and move them under a new folder. We currently have a bunch of projects under //depot and one of those products has multiple "psuedo branches" under the //depot directory. I would like to move them to a "root" project directory as to organize the depot. i.e.:

//depot /project1 /project2 /project3.1 /project3.2 /project3.3 /project4

into:

//depot /project1 /project2 /project3 /project3.1 /project3.2 /project3.* /project4

Do it piecemeal, one directory at a time: p4 integrate //depot/project3.1/... //depot/project3/proj-3.1/... p4 integrate //depot/project3.2/... //depot/project3/proj-3.2/... ... p4 submit then make the original ones "invisible" using "p4 protect" to make sure you like where it's landed - you can always delete it "later" - but make SURE the original location is not viewable/editable by others to prevent them from accidently checking in changes there.

You could do the delete of the original locations ("p4 delete //depot/project3.1/...") whenever you want, I just suggest making it invisible to buy a little time to get used to it without doing anything irretrievable.

Also I assume that any label made previously based on any of these "braches" will update themselves. Over will I need to massage them some how to reflect this new structure?

Yes, you will. In fact, if you branch to the new names, the specific revisions referred to in the labels might not be in the new branch. Depending on whether these trees have been the subject of lots of "p4 integrate" activity, you might wanna call Tech Support and spend some quality time discussing your options with them. (Without surgery on the server metadata, you'll have to do the rename using "p4 integrate", which is - I think - the best best way to go anyhow.)
