Diagnose slow response times
Helix Core Server
is normally a light user of network resources. Although it is possible
that an extremely large user operation could cause the
Helix Core Server to respond slowly, consistently slow responses to
p4 commands are usually caused by network problems.
Any of the following can cause slow response times:
- Misconfigured domain name system (DNS)
- Misconfigured Windows networking
- Difficulty accessing the
p4executable on a networked file system
A good initial test is to run p4 info. If this does
not respond immediately, then there is a network problem. Although
solving network problems is beyond the scope of this manual, here are
some suggestions for troubleshooting them.
