Eugene,

What version of Perforce and FinalBuilder are you using?

I am using Perforce 2006.1 and FinalBuilder 5.00.60

Hi Eugene,

It’s possible to have the Perforce SCC plugin output a log with the operations which it has undertaken. Unfortunately, FB’s SCC support doesn’t include “advanced options” support, and this is where the Perforce people have put this option (even though it is a global option.)

To enable it, you can edit your Perforce settings file manually. It will be a file called ‘settings’ in the directory C:\Documents and Settings<username>.p4scc

You’ll need to set four lines so they look like this:

LogFile=yes
LogAll=yes
LogFileName=C%3A/Documents%20and%20Settings/Angus/.p4scc/log.txt (insert file path here)
LogFileSize=1024

(The lines are probably already there, but they may have different values for these settings.)

After that, could you extract the log data which shows Perforce failing and attach it here, or send it to us at support@finalbuilder.com? Thanks for your assistance in this.

Regards,


Angus

PS Have you changed any of the options on the SCC Options page in FinalBuilder?

Hi Eugene,

Please disregard the previous post (I’ll keep it there in case people need to know how to enable logging on Perforce.) There was a bug in the FB SCC Provider, which has now been fixed. A test build will be out shortly.
