Create the mainline stream
-
In P4V, click Refresh, then select your new depot name (such as
project1
) in the Depot tab. -
Create a mainline stream in this depot of type stream by choosing File > New > Stream.
NoteYou might need to restart P4V to show this option.
-
In the Stream: New dialog,
-
Set the Stream name to main.
-
Set the Stream type to mainline.
-
Click Browse and select the streams depot you created in P4Admin.
-
Clear the checkbox for "Create workspace" because the default workspace name is not intuitive.
-
Clear the checkbox for "Populate" because we will do that later, and click OK.
NoteThis mainline stream is a starting point. Later on, you might want a development stream for files that will change a lot, as well as a release stream for files that are stable. In such a case, you might want to create additional streams such as:
-
//project1/dev
-
//project1/rel
-
//project1/virtualdev
For more information, see Streams in Helix Core Overview.
-
-
Refresh P4V and select View > Streams to see the newly created stream.
TipIf your new stream is not showing, ensure that you have cleared all filters in the Streams view.
