Re: [p4] Missed Integration

Posted on behalf of forum user 'briand'.

Here are a couple of suggestions that help me when I'm managing bulk
integrations:

  
-  Make sure to do the integration in a clean/empty workspace. If files are open
  for edit, that can cause surprises. If files have been added or modified
  outside of Perforce, that can cause surprises. To avoid these surprises and to
  eliminate yet another item that I need to double-check, I use dedicated
  workspaces for my bulk integrations.
  
-  Make sure the client doing the integration has SubmitOptions set to
  submitunchanged. If I'm doing an integration, I don't want to have to
  think about if the integration caused the file to change or not. I just want
  the integration to happen. If SubmitOptions is set to revertunchanged to
  leaveunchanged, then I may not get all the changes integrated (in particular,
  those changelists that did not change the file or its attributes).
  
-  Avoid mixing single change integrations with integrations of all changes up
  to change X. In fact, I try to avoid single change integrations as much as
  possible. I've had to clean up too many problems caused by engineers
  integrating change X+1 before integrating change X.

In addition to the revision graph that Sambwise mentioned, I also use p4
interchanges -f to give me more information about what is causing my integration
problems.
