Find in Streams

The Find in Streams feature lets you search across streams to find the streams that map the path that you specify.

Common use cases are to find out which streams import:

• a given library

• the file I might want to edit

Three ways to access the feature:

Search menu has Find in Streams...
which is also available on the Depot tree's context menu for a file or a folder
and the Workspace tree for a file

Results display in the Find in Streams dialog box, which allows you to filter the results:

where:

• Stream defines stream’s the name, which includes its path in the stream depot

• Depot Path defines the criteria for the search when finding in streams

• Stream View Defined by the Paths, Remapped, and Ignored fields of the stream specification. See Form Fields in the 'p4 stream' command. defines the stream view path

• Path Type defines how files are incorporated into the stream structure, such as share, isolate, import

• Source Stream indicates the stream from which this stream inherits, if any

• Source Path Type indicates the path type of the stream from which this stream inherits, such as import or import+

• Effective Component Type represents the most restrictive Component Type in a chain of components. See "effective component type and the end component" under Writable components in the Helix Core Command-Line (P4) Guide.

You can use context menus for additional options, as shown in the screenshot above.
