DESCRIPTION:
This script configures a new commit server by setting best practices
configurables, as well as setting SDP-required configurables such as
server.depot.root and journalPrefix.
This script is intended to be run on a new, empty P4 data set. If it
is run on a server with existing configurables, it will abort by
default to avoid overwriting existing configurables. Before running
on a server with existing data, review the configurables it sets to
ensure they will not cause a problem. (This could be done by
operating the script on a copy-of-production sandbox or perhaps by
reviewing the script code). Use the '-f' (force) option to allow this
script to be run on a server that already has configuration items set.
REQUIRED PARAMETERS:
<instance> - Specify the SDP Instance.
OPTIONS:
-checkpoint
Specify '-checkpoint' to do a live checkpoint after setting the configurables.
-f
Specify '-f' (force) to allow running this script on data set that is not a brand
new/empty data set. This script deems a server to be new and empty if the
change counter is '0'.
-n
Enable DRY RUN/Preview mode, displaying commands that would affect data
rather than executing them.
-D
Set extreme debugging verbosity.
LOGGING:
-L <Log>
Specify the path to desired log file, or the special value 'off' to disable logging.
The default log file name is:
${LOGS:-/tmp}/${ThisScript%.sh}.<timestamp>.log
This script is self-logging. That is, output displayed on the screen
is simultaneously captured in the log file. Using redirection operators like
like '> log' or '2>&1' or using 'tee' are unnecessary (but harmless).
HELP OPTIONS:
-h Display short help message.
-man Display man-style help message.
-V Display version info for this script.
FILES:
EXAMPLES:
Example 1: Do a preview:
$ThisScript 1 -n
Example 2: Typical operation to configure new instance 1.
$ThisScript 1
Example 3: Same as Example 2, and then do a live checkpoint after.
$ThisScript 1 -checkpoint
Example 4: Apply configurables to an existing server using '-f'.
$ThisScript 1 -f
SEE ALSO:
See 'ccheck.sh -man' to for info on how to check configurables after
this script has been run.

# something re-enforced on every subsequent start. It blocks the classic
# empty-Protections-table bootstrap this script relies on to create the
# very first super user: even the unauthenticated-friendly 'p4 user -o'
# template read now requires authentication that cannot exist yet. Work
# around this by relaxing both configurables offline (the same
# 'p4d -cset' mechanism already used elsewhere in the SDP -- see
# configure_sample_depot_for_sdp.sh) right after that one-time bump has
# already happened, then starting the server again: a second start does
# not re-trigger the bump, so the relaxed values hold. Only do this for a
# genuinely new server (p4d wasn't already running before the start
# above), so an already-configured/live server is never touched. The live
# 'configure set' calls further below (once $P4USER exists and is logged
# in) restore both configurables to their secure defaults; since the
# server is already past its one-time bump by then, those live changes
# hold across any future restart.

| #1 | 33433 | Claude (AI Agent by Anthropic) |
Copy Up from //p4-sdp/dev into //p4-sdp/main. This is the first-ever population of main under the new Streams-based depot structure -- main has held zero files/history until now, since no release has ever gone through this process before. 463 files, covering the entire 2026.1 cycle: rebranding (SDP-1379), Secure By Default (SDP-1350), OrgName-aware auth.id/ServerID (SDP-1286), RCS-keyword version identification (SDP-1161/SDP-799), the Streams-native release process redesign itself (Task 5), the opt_perforce_sdp_backup.sh false-error fix, the P4D 2026.1 test-suite targeting, refreshed P4*.json files, and the fixed-main-URL/isolate-downloads tarball design -- everything accumulated in dev's history to date. Isolated paths (ai_dev_support/, Version, doc/*.html, doc/*.pdf, doc/gen/*.man.txt, doc/gen/sdp_install.cfg, Unsupported/doc/*.html, Unsupported/doc/*.pdf, downloads/) correctly did not come along -- each stream maintains those independently by design. Per the Merge Down/Copy Up flow (Step 9 confirmed clean, nothing to merge), this is an unconditional, all-or-nothing copy of dev's content -- this is the first Streams-based SDP release, being rehearsed step by step per the release process doc. Agent: Claude Code, Model: Claude Sonnet 5 (claude-sonnet-5), operating as bot_Claude_Anthropic. |

| #10 | 33409 | Claude (AI Agent by Anthropic) |
Copy Up from //p4-sdp/dev_rebrand into //p4-sdp/dev. This is the first promotion of dev_rebrand's work into dev since dev_rebrand was created (2025-05-24) -- 303 files, covering the entire 2026.1 rebranding effort (SDP-1379), the Secure By Default adaptation (SDP-1350), OrgName-aware auth.id/ServerID (SDP-1286), RCS-keyword version identification (SDP-1161/SDP-799), and the Streams-native release process redesign (Task 5) done this session, plus everything else accumulated in dev_rebrand's history before this session. Per the Merge Down/Copy Up flow, this is intentionally a full, unconditional blast-replace of dev's content from dev_rebrand -- all selectivity/care happened in the preceding Merge Down (dev -> dev_rebrand, changes 33407-33408), which absorbed Robert Cowham's independent dev-side work first so nothing of his is lost by this Copy Up. Two files are worth calling out since they might look alarming in isolation: - tools/mdcu.sh is deleted -- intentional, retired this session in favor of the two direct Streams commands now documented in doc/ReleaseProcessOverview.md. - tools/ReleaseProcessOverview.md is deleted -- this is a stale relic of a file move dev_rebrand made back in 2025-05-24 (tools/ -> doc/) that was never previously propagated to dev; the current, fully-rewritten doc/ReleaseProcessOverview.md is added/updated correctly by this same changelist. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

| #34 | 23679 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Added comment indicating that these scripts serve as a guide defining best practices configurables for a production environment. Also added a handy URL to bookmark documenting many configurables: https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/cmdref/Content/CmdRef/configurables.configurables.html No functional change. |

Fixed issue with super user not being logged in after the restart that occurs after setting auth.id. |
||
| #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> |
||
| #31 | 23000 | Russell C. Jackson (Rusty) | net.tcpsize=0 should only be set on 2017.1 and later. | ||

For P4D 2016.2/1468155+ servers, added configurable setting. p4 configure set db.monitor.shared=4096 Also added notes describing why we set it and other how it works. |

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 |

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). |

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. |

Commented the line about passwordreset. I find myself commenting that out all the time now because people want AD integration. |

Added defense against known-misbehaving client versions using rejectList configurable, availabe starting with P4D 2015.1 Patch 5. See: http://answers.perforce.com/articles/KB/15014 |

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. |
