Added refresh_P4ROOT_from_offline_db.sh. Updated backup_functions.sh to support functionality for db refresh. Upgrade start_p4d() and stop_p4d() to use systemd if available, else use the underlying SysV init scripts. Updated verify_sdp.sh to be called from other scripts (sans its own logging). Added many checks to verify_sdp.sh to support P4ROOT/offline_db swap. Logic in P4ROOT/offline_db swap is more careful about what gets swapped. Added start_p4broker() and stop_p4broker() that behave similarly. More shellcheck compliance. #review-26401 |

Committing Rusy's shelved change after merging with other changes. #review-28411 |
||
#38 | 24875 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Added setting of dm.info.hide=1, to hide P4ROOT and other sensitivie info from output of 'p4 info' from a non-authenticated user. Removed setting of dm.user.resetpassword, which was already commented out in the Unix version. This is not really a general best practice to have set, as most accounts use some form of LDAP integration. And even when not, having this set imposes a certaion workflow on Perforce-managed passwords that is often better handled in other ways. |
||
#37 | 24587 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Added net.autotune=1 setting and related comments. Corrected misinformation in comments related to net.tcpsize configurable, and tweaked logic slightly. Added more info in README and changed format to Markdown (renaming from .txt to .md). Enhanced gen_default_broker_cfg.sh to detect whether net.autotune is enabled, and if so, add net.autotune to the broker configuration. #review-24207 @nick_poole |

#36 | 24222 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Enhanced rejectList value for P4EXP to also reject versions of P4EXP that impersonate the version string from Windows Explorer. The 'Operating System' also blocks the versions that impersonate. |

#35 | 24145 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Added comment for why filesys.P4LOG.main and filesys.TEMP.min aren't set. Comment tweak only, no functional change. |

#34 | 23679 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Added comment indicating that these scripts serve as a guide defining best practices configurables for a production environment.

#32 | 23316 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Added filetype.bypasslock=1 configurable, recommended for Swarm. This is needed to allow reviews of exclusively locked files. It allows Swarm to unshelve such files for review, by doing: p4 unshelve --bypass-exclusive-lock -s <shelved_changelist> |

#29 | 22520 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Updated configure_new_server.* scripts, which reflect SDP best practices for enterprise environments. Taking out the setting to disable autologinpromt, upon discovery that it has a safety feature of going interactive only in an interactive terminal shell. It will still wreak havoc with non-interactive commands that do things like 'ssh' with '-t' (to simulate a interactive terminal shell, as is sometimes necessary in automation). But as that is somewhat obscure, the most widely applicable best practice is to use the default p4d behavior, i.e. with autologinprompt enabled. #review @sven_erik_knop @nick_poole |
||
#28 | 22393 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Enhanced to search for the *.depot.p4s spec files in whatever dir the configure_new_server.sh script is in when the script is exectued, so that you don't have to run it from the directory it lives in. #review-22391 |
||
#27 | 22031 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Bumped up dm.user.loginattempts from 3 to 7, to be more friendly to humans who mistype passwords. |
||
#26 | 21883 | C. Thomas Tyler | Added new configurable setting: 'filesys.bufsize=1M'. | ||
#25 | 21630 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Configurables for best results with Swarm in particular, but a generally better overall experience. p4 configure set dm.shelve.promote=1 p4 configure set dm.keys.hide=2 Note that setting dm.shelve.promote=1 will slow down shelving operations on an edge server, but will make the shelves globally available. On balance, dm.shelve.promote=1 is recommended, though admins should be aware of the trade off (a simpler global view and cross-site code reviews, at some cost for performance of shelving at edge sites). |
||
#24 | 21454 | C. Thomas Tyler |
For p4d 2016.1 Patch 5+ servers, enable a server with an expired temp license to start, albeit with limited functionality, so that license expiry doesn't make it impossible to perform license management via the front-door. This configurable allows the server to be started regardless of a bad license, though users will still be blocked by license invalid messages. Perpetual commercial licenses never expire; this configurable will not affect those. Also added +x file type modifier to the *.bat file. |
||
#23 | 21369 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Configured to re-login after setting auth.id, and restart p4d at the end of the script. |
||
#22 | 21232 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Define auth.id for P4D 2016.1+ servers to "p4_<instance>". The value doesn't really affect behavior for auth.id, so long as it's defined. |
||
#21 | 21173 | C. Thomas Tyler | Taking advantage of new 2016.2 configurables. | ||
#20 | 20332 | C. Thomas Tyler |
A few configurable tweaks: * Setting server=4 logging as the default. * Setting net.backlog=2048, per Support. * Setting net.tcpsize=0 to engage 'auto-self-tuning' magic. |

#19 | 20305 | Russell C. Jackson (Rusty) | Commented out the audit log. | ||

#16 | 19661 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Change to best-practice configurables. For p4d 2016.1 Patch 2+ (2016.1.1395783+), disable auto prompting for a password, as this can cause 'p4' commands to go interactive that wouldn't normally, wreaking havoc with automation. Fix with: p4 configure set auth.autologinprompt=0. |
||
#15 | 19302 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Adjusted setting of db.reorg.disable to go with the block comments made previously to receive a setting for db.reorg.disable. In those comments, setting of the value had been commented out, but now are not. This impact has no functional change other than adding the safety feature of avoiding setting db.reorg.disable for older versions of p4d that don't support it. support it. |
||
#14 | 19112 | Russell C. Jackson (Rusty) |
Turn off database reorg per best practice recommendation from Anton and Michael S. Stop running weekly_backup.sh automatically since a compact database actually causes a performance hit. Added note to occasionally run weekly_backup.sh to recapture free space. |
||
#13 | 18937 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Removed configurables for 'errors' and 'events' structured logs. Added 'maxmb' setting of 200MB for the structured audit log. Enhanced Windows version work like Unix version: * Added a check for the 'instance' paramter. * Loads SDP environment from p4env.bat (equiv of p4_vars). * Uses SDP environment to set various things. * Now creates 'spec' and 'unload' depots. Changed both Unix and Windows versions to use KEEPLOGS setting defiend in standard SDP enviornment file to apply to 'retain' setting of structured server logs. Removed obsolete comment relationg to the SetDepotSpecMapField trigger, which was obsoleted with server.depot.root in 2014.1. Changed mechanism for creating 'spec' and 'unload' depots to one that works the same for Windows and Linux. Removed defaultChangeType setting. The impact on Swarm and performance may not be worth the security benefit for. It is still a good practice for some environments, but I'm not sure it's a clear best practice to set it. |
