Adding a Perforce SCM Instance to the Code Insight Project

FlexNet Code Insight 2019 R1

The following procedure describes how to add a Perforce SCM instance to the Code Insight project.

To configure a Perforce SCM instance, do the following:

1. Use the instructions in Adding an SCM Instance to the Code Insight Project to navigate to the Version Control Settings tab and add a Perforce SCM instance, selecting Perforce from the Application dropdown.
2. See Configuring the Perforce SCM Instance for a description of the settings used to define a Perforce SCM instance, or use the inline help provided for each setting on the tab.
3. If SSL has been configured for communication between the Perforce server and the Perforce client on Code Insight, execute the following command in p4 to establish the trust between the server and client. Unless this trust is established, connections between the Perforce server and client will fail.

p4 -p ssl:<p4ServerHostID>:<p4Port> trust 

where p4ServerHostID and p4Port identify the hostID (hostname or IP address) and port of the Perforce server.

When prompted to establish trust, enter yes.

4. Once you save the Perforce SCM instance, test the Code Insight connection with Perforce SCM instance, as described in Testing an SCM Instance.
