P4NAME

Description

A unique identifiable name for a Perforce server.

This configurable cannot be set globally; you must specify a server id.

P4NAME is used by p4 configure as a means of identifying servers.

Unless a P4NAME value has been specified for the server, the server uses the serverid to determine the appropriate configuration settings. See p4 serverid.

Warning

On Windows if there is no P4NAME defined in the registry for a service, it is picked up from the name of the service itself.
