P4 enablement

To enable P4VFS to work with P4, the Helix Core command-line client, you must convert the client that was originally set up as noaltsync to support the alternative syncing mechanism used by P4VFS:

Brand new client

Client that already has files

  1. Change the client to altsync.
    In the client spec, for the Options field, change noaltsync to altsync and save.

  2. Run the p4 sync command.

  1. Get revision 0 so that the client is empty.

    p4 sync ...#0

  2. Change the client to altsync.
    In the client spec, for the Options field, change noaltsync to altsync and save.

  3. Run the p4 sync command.

Such a conversion can also be done from the P4V client. See P4V enablement.
