What's new in the P4Admin guide

2022.3

  • Support for limiting how much Server memory a command can use. See Group settings and limits.

  • To help your organization avoid unwanted downtime, starting seven (7) days before the license expires, the Helix Core administrator is notified of the expiration date when logging in to the Server. The user with the super access level might have modified this default behavior to a different number of days, or to warn all users, or to warn no users. This depends on the settings of the auth.licenseexpiry.warn and auth.licenseexpiry.warnthreshold configurables in Helix Core Command-Line (P4) Reference.

2022.2

  • You can add a description to a group when you create the group (or later). Such descriptions can be useful if you have many groups. You also have the option of providing LDAP values for the group. See To create a group.

  • Topology tab offers filters for IP addresses and points in time. Also, your rearrangement of the nodes in the graph persist the next time you open P4Admin.

  • Connections preference allows you to specify the interval to attempt to reconnect with the server if the connection was broken.

2021.1

"Applets" for P4V and P4Admin are no longer supported. This is because the P4V WebKit-based P4JsApi (the JavaScript API for Visual Tools) has been officially retired. It is replaced by P4VJS, which is a WebEngine-based solution that supports HTML5. For more information, see P4VJS Developer Guide and P4JSAPI to P4VJS Conversion Guide.

2020.2

  • P4Admin enables you to develop added functionality. See HTML Tools.
