<p>All triggers and scripts in the <code>Unsupported</code> folder are provided as examples. They are Community supported only. Most have worked in customer environments at some point, but they are not maintained and tested at the same quality levels as the main SDP scripts.</p>

<p>This broker filter script limits commands of a given type to one process
running at a time for the same user. It relies on <code>p4 monitor</code> having been
enabled with <code>p4 configure set monitor=1</code> (or higher than 1).</p>
</div>

<p>This is called by the <code>p4broker</code> process. The p4broker provides an array
of fields on STDIN, e.g. "command: populate" and "user: joe", which get
parsed to inform the business logic of this script.</p>

<p>This is enabled by adding a block like the following to a broker config
file, with this example limiting the <code>p4 populate</code> command:</p>

CaseCheckTrigger.py
This trigger ensures users are not adding new files (directly or by branching) which only
differ in case (either filename or a directory element of their path) from existing depot paths.
It is useful for both case-sensitive and case-insensitive servers, although most used for the former.
Example 1: Typical usage from the Helix Core server triggers table:
Triggers:
CheckCaseTrigger change-submit //... "/usr/bin/python3 /p4/common/bin/triggers/CheckCaseTrigger.py %changelist% myuser=%user%"
SAMPLE OUTPUT:
Submit validation failed -- fix problems then use 'p4 submit -c 1234'.
'CheckCaseTrigger' validation failed:
Your submission has been rejected because the following files
are inconsistent in their use of case with respect to existing
directories:
Your file: '//depot/dir/test'
existing file/dir: '//depot/DIR'
BYPASS LOGIC:
By default, this trigger can be bypassed by any user by adding the
token BYPASS_CASE_CHECK to the changelist description. Specify
'allowbypass=no' on the command line to disable the ability to
bypass this trigger
As an exception, if the user is 'git-fusion-user', the case check
is always bypassed if 'myuser' is defined.
DEPENDENCIES:
This trigger requires P4Triggers.py and the P4Python API.
SEE ALSO:
See 'p4 help triggers'.
"""
"""CaseCheckTrigger is a subclass of P4Trigger. Use this trigger to ensure
that your depot does not contain two filenames or directories that only
differ in case.
Having files with different case spelling will cause problems in mixed
environments where both case-insensitive clients like Windows and case-
sensitive clients like UNIX access the same server.

DESCRIPTION:
This trigger is a change-submit trigger for workflow enforcement using Workflow.yaml for streams.
It will ensure that any attempt to add (or branch) a file does not create
a new folder name at specific levels.
As with other Workflow triggers, it looks for a project matching files in the change.
The value of "new_folder_allowed_level" is an integer and controls at which level within a stream
new folder names can be created.
If not set, or set to 0, then new folders can be created in the root of the stream.
If set to 1, then for stream
//streams/main/new_folder/a.txt would not be allowed, but
//streams/main/existing_folder/new_folder/a.txt would be allowed.
Note that files can be added just not folders.
The field "new_folder_exceptions" - an array of users/groups who can override the trigger.
To install, add a line to your Perforce triggers table like the following:
check-folder-structure change-submit //... "python3 /p4/common/bin/triggers/CheckFolderStructure.py -p %serverport% -u perforce %change%"
or (if server is standard SDP and has appropriate environment defaults for P4PORT and P4USER):

twin is one such complexity. An evil twin can occur in any
version control system with sophisticated branching and merging
(Perforce, Git, ClearCase, AccuRev, etc.).
In Perforce, an evil twin occurs when two files with the same name
relative to the root of a stream are created in both streams with
'p4 add', rather than the preferred workflow of creating src/foo.c
in one stream and branching it into another. When a file is created
with 'p4 add' twice rather than the preferred 'add then branch' flow,
there is no integration history connecting the files. This creates
a problem when merging across streams, as their is no 'base' or
common ancestor that is needed to calculate merge results.
In ClearCase, this was a bad situation indeed - one such file needed
to be designated as the \"evil\" twin, and that file and its history
would need to be obliterated ('rmelem' in ClearCase parlance). In
Perforce, the situation is not nearly so bad. Rather than designating
one of the twins as evil, we simply do a 'baseless integration' and
establish a family history, after which point the two twins can have
a happy family reunion.
Note that many ClearClase sites deployed an Evil Twin prevention
trigger that could prevent evil twins from occurring in the first
place, and deploying such a trigger is a best practice in
ClearCase environments. There is a similar trigger for Perforce,
but it is not commonly deployed, since evil twins aren't nearly
as problematic in Perforce. They don't occur often.
At a high level:
* Evil twin detection means doing an integrate preview, and checking
for the \"can't integrate without -i flag\" warning. The -i flag is
for baseless integrations, essentially evil twins.
* Evil twin correction means doing an integrate with the -i flag on
the individual files, and then doing a 'p4 resolve -ay' (accept
\"yours,\" i.e. accept target), and submitting. That creates an
integration record, visible as a merge arrow in P4V.
This solution using 'p4 resolve -ay' is the best choice for mass
detection and resolution of evil twins. The assumption here is that
the contents are already correct, and you only want to draw merge
arrows and avoid changing content in the processing.
For evil twins that occur organically in natural development, e.g.
due to developer error or miscoordination among developers working
in different streams, you might choose to resolve with -ay or -at
(accept \"theirs,\" i.e. accept source). Natural evil twins are
uncommon and occur typically only for individual files. (And if they
are common, that could be a sign of a larger process/communication
issue among teams).
=== WARNING WARNING WARING ===
This script may require a large amount of temporary storage, as it
creates a large number of stream workspaces and does a sync in them.
See the '-w' flag.
OPTIONS:
-i <instance>
Specify the SDP instance name.
This is required unless the SDP environment has previously been loaded
in the current shell, i.e. by sourcing the $P4CBIN/p4_vars
file and specifying the instance, e.g. :
source $P4CBIN 1
-d <stream_sdepot>
Specify a stream depot to process, e.g. -d fgs to process the //fgs stream depot.
This argument is required unless '-s //source/stream' is specified,
in which case the stream depot is inferred from the stream path.
-s //source/stream
Specify a particular source stream to search. The specified stream
and its parent will be checked for evil twins.
-w <work_dir>
Specify a working directory, used for temporary workspace storage,
etc. The default is \"/scratch\".
=== WARNING WARNING WARING ===
This script may require a large amount of temporary storage, as it
creates a large number of stream workspaces and does a sync in them.
This flag controls the scratch storage area used by this script.
The workspace storage directory will be in an \"etd\" directory
below the specified <work_dir> So by default, workspace root
directories will appear one directory level below \"/scratch/etd\".
This script will attempt to create the \"etd\" directory under
specified <work_dir> if it does not already exist, and abort
if it cannot be created.
-f Fix evil twins with forced integrates doing baseless merges and
resolving with '-ay', effectively drawing merge arrows to establish
a branching relationship, but not affecting target file content.
By default, a report shows the commands that would be run, but they
are not executed.
-v<n> Set verbosity 1-5 (-v1 = quiet, -v5 = highest).
-L <log>
Specify the path to a log file, or the special value 'off' to disable
logging. All output (stdout and stderr) are captured in the log.
NOTE: This script is self-logging. That is, output displayed on the screen
is simultaneously captured in the log file. Do not run this script with
redirection operators like '> log' or '2>&1', and do not use 'tee.'
-si Operate silently. All output (stdout and stderr) is redirected to the log
only; no output appears on the terminal. This cannot be used with
'-L off'.
-D Set extreme debugging verbosity.
HELP OPTIONS:
-h Display short help message
-man Display man-style help message
-V Display version info for this script and its libraries.
EXAMPLES:
First, setup environment:
cd $P4CBIN
source ./p4_vars 1
Then run as per the following examples, suitable for a long-running script.
Example 1: Search for all Evil Twins in the fgs depot:
nohup ./$THISSCRIPT -i 1 -w /big/scratch -d fgs < /dev/null > /tmp/etd.log 2>&1 &
tailf \$(ls -t \$LOGS/${THISSCRIPT%.sh}.*.log|head -1)
Example 2: Find and fix all Evil Twins in the fgs depot:
nohup ./$THISSCRIPT -i 1 -w /big/scratch -d fgs -f < /dev/null > /tmp/etd.log 2>&1 &
tailf \$(ls -t \$LOGS/${THISSCRIPT%.sh}.*.log|head -1)
Example 3: Find and fix all Evil twins between //fgs/dev and its parent.
nohup ./$THISSCRIPT -i 1 -w /big/scratch -s //fgs/dev < /dev/null > /tmp/etd.log 2>&1 &
tailf \$(ls -t \$LOGS/${THISSCRIPT%.sh}.*.log|head -1)
