Perforce Shotgun Sync This app contains the sync command used to sync Perforce changes into Shotgun By: Shotgun Software Latest Version: v0.1.5 (alpha) For our version numbers, we follow the Semantic Versioning standard. System Name: tk-shell-perforcesync

Overview

This document describes functionality only available if you have taken control over a Toolkit configuration. Please refer to the Shotgun Integrations User Guide for details. This app is the link between Perforce and Shotgun. Newly submitted Perforce changes containing files recognised by Toolkit will have a Revision entity created for them in Shotgun and each file revision will have a PublishedFile entity registered. The app can be run as a background process/daemon to ensure that Shotgun is kept in sync with Perforce.

Documentation

We're currently working on the docs for this app but in the mean time, for a more high-level overview of how we've integrated Perforce into Shotgun Pipeline Toolkit, please see this page:

Sync Perforce with Shotgun.

To sync specific changes between Perforce and Shotgun use the sync_perforce command that this app registers. It's intended that this should be run using the project context, e.g.:

./tank Project <project id> sync_perforce -s <start change> -e <end change> -u <perforce user> -p <perforce password>

The command will only register changes and published files if they aren't already registered with Shotgun.

Sync Daemon

To continually sync new changes as they are submitted to Perforce, you can use the sync_perforce_daemon command which should be set up as a background process running on a server (how to do this will vary depending on your OS - more details to come!).

Run the sync daemon command like:

./tank Project <project id> sync_perforce_daemon -u <perforce user> -p <perforce password>

Large number of pre-existing changes

If you are using a Perforce server that contains a large number of changes that you know for certain Toolkit will be able to ignore, you can also pass a start argument to the daemon command - you only need to do this the first time the daemon is run though.

./tank Project <project id> sync_perforce_daemon -s 123456 -u <perforce user> -p <perforce password>

Installation and Updates

Adding this App to the Shotgun Pipeline Toolkit

If you want to add this app to Project XYZ, in an environment named asset, execute the following command:

Updating to the latest version

If you already have this item installed in a project and you want to get the latest version, you can run the update command. You can either navigate to the tank command that comes with that specific project, and run it there:

> cd /my_tank_configs/project_xyz
> ./tank updates

Alternatively, you can run your studio tank command and specify the project name to tell it which project to run the update check for:

> tank Project XYZ updates
