Preface
Please Give Us Feedback
Perforce welcomes feedback from our users. Please send any suggestions for improving this document or the SDP to consulting@perforce.com.
1. Overview
These release notes document 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
For information on upgradeing the SDP to the 2020.1 from prior releases on Linux, see the SDP Legacy Upgrade Guide (for Unix).
2. What’s New in SDP 2020.1.
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 upgradesp4
,p4d
,p4broker
, andp4p
has been greatly improved, and a newget_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. Therefresh_P4ROOT_from_offline_db.sh
andupgrade.sh
scripts useverify_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 Section 5, “Change History” below.
3. What’s Coming Next in SDP 2021.1?
A key feature of the coming SDP 2021.1 release will be addition of automation to greatly simplify upgrades of the SDP itself. This will apply to SDP versions starting from this 2020.1 release going to the 2021.1 and future releases. Starting in the 2021.1 release, SDP ugprades will be similar to p4d upgrades in that whatever the current version is will always be able to upgrade from prior releases (going back to this 2020.1 release).
4. SDP Health Checks
If you need to contact Perforce Support to analyze an SDP issue on UNIX/Linux, you can use the sdp_health_check.sh
script. This script is not included in the SDP, but it can be used with all versions of the SDP dating back to 2007.
To gather health check information, do the following:
cd /p4/1/tmp curl -s -k -O https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/projects/perforce-software-sdp/download/tools/sdp_health_check.sh chmod +x sdp_health_check.sh ./sdp_health_check.sh
This script will produce a log file that can be provided to Perforce Support to help diagnose configuration issues and other problems.
