Prerequisites

Before attempting to use Perforce you must ensure the following procedures have been taken.

  • Install the Perforce software. TIBCO Designer does not include or install this software.

  • The Perforce server port must be defined.

    • The Perforce server must be installed and running.

    • The Perforce client must be installed on your machine. Only the client is necessary on the machine where TIBCO Designer runs.

  • Setup a password for your Perforce account. To do this in Microsoft Windows, select User > Set Password for UserName. Every Perforce port has a unique password. You may need to define a password for all the Perforce ports you access normally.

  • Select the client you use to use or define a new client with any name. You can define a new client in the Perforce clientSpecs >New menu.

  • Be sure that you have the appropriate permissions to access, create, delete, store, and modify the files you wish to work with under Perforce.

Note: Assigning user name and passwords may be done by the Perforce administrator at your site.
