Perforce source control

[avastani]

Has anyone tried integration with Perforce Source Control?

If so could you please advise how this is managed? I know I need the MSSCCI provider.

thanks.

Hi amirvas,

Here is a link to a document that has a lot of information on source control integration:

http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-3424

We are using version 10, but I will start looking into integration when we upgrade to v11.

I hope you find it helpfull

Thank you so much. Yes, I have this document but it only speaks about TFS and Subversion and not Perforce which is a different source control, however, we can accomplish connection with Perforce using a msscci plugin for it.

Thanks.

I know this has been a while, but were you able to figure this out? Having an issue where the connection to Perforce is made, but for some reason I am unable to check in pending changes.

I used Perforce without connecting QV to Perforce and using the P4 client to manually manage the version control. This worked pretty well, but assumed some understanding of the -prj folders and the XML layout files. After a checkout using p4, and some modifications in QV, the updates would be committed using the P4 client to detect 'offline' changes and update the repository accordingly.

This is probably what I will have to do since QlikView's source control functionality seems very rudimentary. But having said that, I wonder why everything works except when I try to check in from QlikView it would delete all the xml files instead of checking them in.

Anyways, from your experience (and my prior experience), it seems to make more sense to use p4 client to do this stuff.

Best,

Sunny
