Installing and configuring the P4 Plan P4 integration

The following information is only for administrative users. If you only need to use the integration from P4V to do your work, you do not need to install anything. See Working with P4 changelists and P4 Plan items to get started. Ask your administrator if you need help accessing the integration.

Before team members can use the P4 Plan P4 integration, an administrative user must install and configure the required components.

Requirements

  • P4 Plan Web
  • P4 Plan Server
  • Helix Visual Client (P4V) 2021.1 or later

Installation and configuration tasks

Perform the following tasks to install and configure the integration.

1. If P4 Plan Web is not installed, download, install, and configure it.

2. Configure and deploy the shortcut menu item to add changelists to P4 Plan items in P4V.
