Create Client and User<\/h3>\n

Create a Perforce client and a user that will be used by the Integration Daemon to create and update jobs in Perforce.<\/p>\n

The integration daemon uses password-based authentication, although ticket-based authentication can be used with tickets that do not expire. Please work with your Perforce server administrator to ensure that the Perforce account used for the integration can access the Perforce server for an indefinite time period.<\/p>\n

Edit Jobspec<\/h3>\n

As a Perforce administrator user, edit the jobspec according to your requirements and use of ExtraView. If you are using the command line version of Perforce, use the p4 jobspec command to edit the jobspec. New fields for the ExtraView ID and URL values (e.g., EVid and EVurl) must be configured in the jobspec in order for the integration daemon to operate successfully.<\/p>\n

Warning:<\/b> Do not alter the definition of the standard fields that are included in the jobspec, namely fields 101 through 105. The Perforce Administrator Guide provides warnings about this fact in the Customizing Perforce: Job Specifications chapter.<\/div>\n

For example, here is a sample jobspec that includes the following additional fields for mapping to ExtraView issues: EVid, EVstatus, EVpriority, EVurl, and EVtitle.<\/p>\n
