Integration with Perforce SCM

I'm working on a perforce a perforce bridge myself. I found this handy doc explaining how it could be done. I don't have anything working just yet as I just started on this process this week. You can find more information here.

A change-set can be associated with workitem (either at creation time,
or at some later time, such as when it is delivered), which creates a
link between that change-set and one or more workitems.

This kind of functionality is also provided for Subversion by the
Subversion "bridge". You can also get that kind of functionality by
using Mylyn, and Team Concert does have support for Mylyn, so that might
be a place to look for linkage between Perforce and Jazz workitems in
the short term. In the medium term, someone (either IBM or a 3'rd
party) could build a workitem/Perforce bridge, similar to the
workitem/Subversion bridge.

Cheers,

Per my understanding of Jazz, submitting any change set that
automatically updates work items or bug status can only be achieved
if Jazzs inbuilt SCM and bug tracker is used. Although there is
built-in support for ClearCase and ClearQuest, it doesn't say much
about Perforce, that has emerged as a popular SCM over the years. Is
there anything available out-of-the-box (or planned in near releases)
that can integrate Perforce and still obtain the above functionality ?


Where do we start from if we plan to write such an adapter ?

Thanks for the pointers.

Hi all,

are you aware if IBM and/or a 3rd party is working on a RTC-perforce integration/bridge? If yes, when would that be available?

Thanks,

K.
