Parameters

flags: Type: Perforce.P4ShelveFilesCmdFlags
newChangelist: Type: Perforce.P4Changelist
changelistId: Type: SystemInt32
pthreads (Optional): Type: SystemInt32
Enable ParallelThreads for parallel file transfer. If your administrator has enabled parallel file transfer by setting the net.parallel.max configurable, and if there are sufficient resources across the system, a sync command may execute more rapidly by transferring multiple files in parallel. Requesting progress indicators causes the --parallel flag to be ignored Specify threads=N to request files be sent concurrently, using N independent network connections. The N threads grab work in batches;
pbatch (Optional): Type: SystemInt32
If ParallelThreads is enabled, specify batch=N to control the number of files in a batch
pbatchsize (Optional): Type: SystemInt32
If ParallelThreads is enabled, specify batchsize=N to control the number of bytes in a batch. A sync that is too small will not initiate parallel file transfers
pmin (Optional): Type: SystemInt32
If ParallelThreads is enabled, specify min=N to control the minimum number of files in a parallel sync
pminsize (Optional): Type: SystemInt32
If ParallelThreads is enabled, specify minsize=N to control the minimum number of bytes in a parallel sync.

Remarks

p4 help shelve

shelve -- Store files from a pending changelist into the depot

p4 shelve [-p] [files]
p4 shelve [-a option] [-p] -i [-f | -r]
p4 shelve [-a option] [-p] -r -c changelist#
p4 shelve [-a option] [-p] -c changelist# [-f] [file ...]
p4 shelve -d -c changelist# [-f] [file ...]

'p4 shelve' creates, modifies or deletes shelved files in a pending
changelist. Shelved files remain in the depot until they are deleted
(using 'p4 shelve -d') or replaced by subsequent shelve commands.
After 'p4 shelve', the user can revert the files and restore them
later using 'p4 unshelve'. Other users can 'p4 unshelve' the stored
files into their own workspaces.

Files that have been shelved can be accessed by the 'p4 diff',
'p4 diff2', 'p4 files' and 'p4 print' commands using the revision
specification '@=change', where 'change' is the pending changelist
number.

By default, 'p4 shelve' creates a changelist, adds files from the
user's default changelist, then shelves those files in the depot.
The user is presented with a text changelist form displayed using
the editor configured using the $P4EDITOR environment variable.

If a file pattern is specified, 'p4 shelve' shelves the files that
match the pattern.

The -i flag reads the pending changelist specification with shelved
files from the standard input. The user's editor is not invoked.
To modify an existing changelist with shelved files, specify the
changelist number using the -c flag.

The -c flag specifies the pending changelist that contains shelved
files to be created, deleted, or modified. Only the user and client
of the pending changelist can add or modify its shelved files. Any
files specified by the file pattern must already be opened in the
specified changelist; use 'p4 reopen' to move an opened file from
one changelist to another.

The -f (force) flag must be used with the -c or -i flag to overwrite
any existing shelved files in a pending changelist.

The -r flag (used with -c or -i) enables you to replace all shelved
files in that changelist with the files opened in your own workspace
at that changelist number. Previously shelved files will be deleted.
Only the user and client workspace of the pending changelist can
replace its shelved files.

The -a flag enables you to handle unchanged files similarly to some
client submit options, namely 'submitunchanged' and 'leaveunchanged'.
The default behavior of shelving all files corresponds to the
'submitunchanged' option. The 'leaveunchanged' option only shelves
changed files, and then leaves the files opened in the pending
changelist on the client.

The -d flag (used with -c) deletes the shelved files in the specified
changelist so that they can no longer be unshelved. By default, only
the user and client of the pending changelist can delete its shelved
files. A user with 'admin' access can delete shelved files by including
the -f flag to force the operation.

The -p flag promotes a shelved change from an edge server to a commit
server where it can be accessed by other edge servers participating
in the distributed configuration. Once a shelved change has been
promoted, all subsequent local modifications to the shelf are also
pushed to the commit server and remain until the shelf is deleted.
Once a shelf has been created, the combination of flags '-p -c' will
promote the shelf without modification unless '-f' or '-r' are also
used to update the shelved files before promotion.

The --parallel flag specifies options for parallel file transfer. If
parallel file transfer has been enabled by setting the
net.parallel.max configurable, and if there are sufficient resources
across the system, a shelve command may execute more rapidly by
transferring multiple files in parallel. Specify threads = N to request
files be sent concurrently, using N independent network connections.
The N threads grab work in batches: specify batch = N to control the
number of files in a batch. A shelve that is too small will not
initiate parallel file transfers: specify min = N to control the
minimum number of files in a parallel shelve. Promoted shelves
require an additional file transfer from the Edge to Commit Server.
Parallel pull threads for this transfer are only used if the
ExternalAddress field is set in its Edge Server spec and pull threads
can be used on the Commit Server. This transfer using pull threads
is currently not supported on Windows platforms.
Auto parallel shelve may be enabled by setting the
net.parallel.shelve.threads configurable to the desired number
of threads to be used for all shelve commands.This value must be
less than or equal to the value of net.parallel.max.Other
net.parallel.shelve.* configurables may be specified as well, but
are not required. See 'p4 help configurables' to see the options
and their defaults.Auto parallel shelve is turned off by unsetting
the net.parallel.shelve.threads configurable. A user may override
the configured auto parallel shelve options on the command line,
or may disable it via 'p4 shelve --parallel=0`.

'p4 shelve' is not supported for files with propagating attributes
from an edge server in a distributed environment.
