Perforce remote depot

Question

I start with explaining the situation. I have a server "A" where I submit official versions of my code, and a machine "M" where I generate daily builds, but sometimes I generate specific versions for my customers those I don't submit them into the server "A". So I create another server "B" where the programmers can submit them.

Now I want to regroup specific and official versions in the same server "B" and let the machine "M" get all code sources from this server.

Any idea how to do that??

NB: some peoples suggest to me to use Remote Depot, but I don't know what it the impact of this and how this can use it.

Answer 2

A remote depot is a one way data pipe from one server to another. It sounds like it would be effective to move work from A to B.

If you want to keep all the data on one server, you can use Perforce directory structure, branching, and access control to organize and manage all the code. That's a bit of a project to set up but might be worth it in the long run.
