p4 fix

Synopsis

Link jobs to the changelists that fix them

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] fix [ -d ] -c changelist# jobName ...

Description

The p4 fix command links jobs (descriptions of work to be done) to a changelist (a set of changes to files that does the work described by a job). If the changelist has not yet been submitted, a job will appear on the p4 submit or p4 change form for the changelist it's linked to, and under normal circumstances, the status of the job will be changed to closed when the changelist is submitted. If the changelist has already been submitted by the time you run p4 fix, the job's status will be set to closed as well.

Since described work may be fixed over multiple changelists, one job may be linked to multiple changelists. Since a single changelist might fix ten bugs, multiple jobs can be linked to the same changelist. The latter can done in one command execution by providing multiple jobs as arguments to p4 fix.

Options


`-d`	Delete the fix record for the specified job at the specified changelist. The job's status will not change.
`g_opts`	See global options section.

Usage Notes


Can File Arg Use Revision Specifier?	Can File Arg Use Revision Range?	Minimal Access Level Required
<NA>	<NA>	`open`

You can change a fixed or unfixed job's status at any time by editing the job with p4 job.
There's another way you can fix or unfix a job: add it to or delete it from an unsubmitted changelists p4 submit or p4 change form.
You can't p4 fix a job to the default changelist; instead, add the job to the default changelist's p4 submit form.
Since the format of jobs can be changed from site to site, it is possible that the jobs on your system no longer have a status: field. If so, you can still link jobs to changelists with p4 fix, but Perforce will not change any of the job fields' values when the changelist is submitted.
When the status: field remains, its value will always be changed to closed when changelists to which the job is linked is submitted, even when this field's format has been changed to exclude closed as a possible value. Please see the p4 jobspec chapter for more information.

Examples


`p4 fix -c 201 job000141 job002034`	Mark two jobs as being fixed by changelist 201. The jobs' status will be changed to `closed` when the changelist is submitted.
