version v2025.1, 2025/10/01

## Preface

Please Give Us Feedback

Perforce welcomes feedback from our users. Please send any suggestions for improving this document or the SDP to consulting-helix-core@perforce.com.

## 1. Overview

These release notes document the most important changes to the SDP.

There are two flavors of the SDP, Unix and Windows.

For UNIX/Linux, see: SDP Guide for UNIX/Linux

For Windows, see: SDP Guide for Windows

## 2. What’s New?

Here are highlights of recent releases. For more detail see [__change_history_] below.

### 2.1. What’s New in SDP 2025.1 Patch 1

- Improved support in `install_sdp.sh` for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with SDP-1289 and SDP-1291.

- The `install_sdp.sh` has an option to avoid using cleartext passwords, enabled by default.

- mkrep.sh tweaks.

- The refresh_P4ROOT_from_offline_db.sh script handles client.readonly.dir better with SDP-1299.

### 2.2. What’s New in SDP 2025.1

- Change default P4 Server version to 2025.1.

- Best Practices Tweaks.

- Bug fix to install_sdp.sh for interacting with pre-existing non-local (LDAP) OSUSER.

- SDP development is now happening in parallel in the `//p4-sdp` stream depot as part of our streams adoption strategy.

### 2.3. What’s New in SDP 2024.2 Patch 4

- Enhanced ccheck.sh and verify_sdp.sh. Check security easily with: `ccheck.sh -sec`

- Security enhancements.

- Various other fixes.

### 2.4. What’s New in SDP 2024.2 Patch 3

- More hardening for `install_sdp.sh` in security hardened environments, and doc correction to '-local' mode e.g. for air gap installs.

- Enhanced ccheck.sh and verify_sdp.sh.

- Various other fixes.

### 2.5. What was new in SDP 2024.2

The main themes of the SDP 2024.2:

- Change default Helix Core version to 2024.2.

- The live_checkpoint.sh works on p4d servers other than the commit.

- Upgrade Procedure supports Legacy and new Package Structures

For more information, see SDP Classic and OS Package Structures.

### 2.6. What’s Coming Next in SDP 2025.2?

SDP is moving from Classic to Streams, into the //p4-sdp depot. This is an enabling step moving in the direction of package installation coming in the future.

Also in SDP 2025.2, sdp_upgrade.sh script will migrate from the Legacy to the Package Structure. This is part of a larger initiative to eventually enable SDP to optionally be consumed with OS package installation methods.

## 3. SDP Health Checks

If you need to contact Perforce Support to diagnose an issue with the SDP on UNIX/Linux, you can use the `/p4/common/bin/sdp_health_check.sh` script. This script is included with the SDP (starting with SDP 2023.1 Patch 3). If your installation does not have this script, it can be downloaded separately. Every version of the `sdp_health_check.sh` script can be used any and all versions of the UNIX/Linux SDP dating back to 2007, so you don’t need to be concerned with version compatibility.

If your Perforce Helix server machine has outbound internet access, execute the following while logged in as the operating system user that owns the `/p4/common/bin` directory (typically `perforce` or `p4admin`):

    cd /p4/common/bin
    [[ -e sdp_health_check.sh ]] && mv -f sdp_health_check.sh sdp_health_check.sh.moved.$(date +'%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S')
    curl -L -O https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/download/guest/perforce_software/sdp/tools/sdp_health_check.sh
    chmod +x sdp_health_check.sh
    ./sdp_health_check.sh

If your Perforce Helix server machine does not have have outbound internet access, acquire the `sdp_health_check.sh` file from a machine that does have outbound internet access, and then somehow get that file to your Perforce Helix server machine.

If you have multiple server machines with SDP, possibly including machines running P4D replicas or edge servers, P4Proxy or P4Broker servers, run the health on all machines of interest.

The `sdp_health_check.sh` script will produce a log file that can be provided to Perforce Support to help diagnose configuration issues and other problems. The script has these characteristics:

- It is always safe to run. It does only analysis and reporting.

- It does only fast checks, and has no interactive prompts. Some log files are captured such as checkpoint.log, but not potentially large ones such as the p4d server log.

- It requires no command line arguments.

- It does not transfer highly sensitive information like Protections or user information.

- It works for any and all UNIX/Linux SDP version since 2007.

## 4. SDP Supported Maintenance Schedule

The SDP has the same support schedule as the Helix Core Server.

See the Helix Core Server Maintenance Support.

## 5. SDP and P4D Version Compatibility

The released versions of SDP match released versions of P4D. For example, SDP 2025.1 is guaranteed to work with P4D 2025.1. As of June 4, 2025, SDP 2025.1 is supported with these P4D versions:

- P4D 2025.1

- P4D 2024.2

- P4D 2024.1

- P4D 2023.2

- P4D 2023.1

The SDP is often forward- and backward-compatible with other P4D versions, but for best results they should be kept in sync by upgrading SDP before P4D. This is partly because the SDP contains logic that helps upgrade P4D, which can change as P4D evolves.

The SDP is aware of the P4D version, and has backward-compatibility logic to support older versions of P4D. This is guaranteed for the supported versions of P4D listed above. Backward compatibility of SDP with older versions of P4D may extend farther back, though without the "officially supported" guarantee.

SDP 2020.1 Release Overview

In a nutshell, here is what the SDP r2020.1 release is all about:

- Improved Documentation. The SDP documentation has been reformatted to AsciiDoc. Documentation coverage has been expanded, new content added, and documentation for various scripts is now included in the main documentation.

- Publishing of The journalPrefix Standard.

- Updating of the Server Spec Naming Standard.

- Bug fixes and improvements to `load_checkpoint.sh`.

- Bug fixes and improvements to `p4verify.sh`. The `-recent` flag is fixed and verification of shelves has improved.

- Bug fixes and improvements to `mkrep.sh`, which adheres to documented standards.

- Improved Helix Core Upgrades. The `upgrade.sh` script that upgrades `p4`, `p4d`, `p4broker`, and `p4p` has been greatly improved, and a new `get_helix_binaries.sh` script added. Documentation now covers how to do Global Topology "Outer to Inner" upgrades.

- Improved Self-Verification. The `verify_sdp.sh` script has been improved to do many more checks. This script is also relied on by other SDP scripts to ensure things are in a good start before they start their processing. The `refresh_P4ROOT_from_offline_db.sh` and `upgrade.sh` scripts use `verify_sdp.sh`.

- The systemd interactions have been improved in a few key ways. Notably, on systems in which systemd is configured, a safety check now ensure that systemd is used, so that systemd’s concept of service status is reliable. The format of the systemd unit files changes with this release.

More details is in the Chapter 6, Change History below.
