How to Set Up and Use P4VFS and Helix Core Virtual File Sync - Tech Tip
In this tutorial, we provide guidance on how to set up P4VFS (Helix Core Virtual File Service) and use Virtual File Sync for Perforce Helix Core version control.
Virtual File Sync speeds up sync times significantly for Helix Core users. It works by giving users the option to only sync file metadata on the initial request, then later download the full file content when needed.
Virtual File Sync consists of 4 components:
- the Helix Core Server (P4D) version 2023.1+
- the Helix Application Programming Interface for C/C++ (P4API) version 2023.1+
- the Helix Core Virtual File Service (P4VFS) version 2023.1+
- a Helix Core client such as Helix Visual Client (P4V) version 2023.2+ – OR – Helix Core Command-line Client (P4) version 2023.1+
