Perforce Checkout in Electric Commander

Electric Commander:

* ElectricCommander (Commander) is an enterprise-class solution for automating the software build and release process. 
* Commander helps teams make software build, package, test, and deployment tasks more repeatable, more visible, and more efficient. 
* At its core, Commander is a web-based system for automating and managing the build and release process. 
* It provides a scalable solution, solving some of the biggest challenges of managing these “back-end” software development tasks.

Electric Commander provides plugins to integrate/communicate with other tools. 


  


Electric Commander Integration to Perforce

        The plugin calls the Perforce's tool "p4" command line and passes in the user-provided parameters. With that information you will be able to to perform code checkout (sync in perforce), preflight actions and continuous integration.

         It includes a feature called "Smart Sync" not present in the native tool, which allows you to sync a client and workspace to a pristine condition without need to download all the changes every time. This can be very useful if you have a big code base.

          Using the plugin will allow you to have different repository configurations, use Electric Commander's Preflight capability, and schedule automated jobs through the CI Manager and Electric Sentry.

It provides: 
* Checkout 
* Preflight built 
* Continuous Integration 
* Electric Sentry
* Create SCM configuration
