Forced clean and sync

This option is Not recommended because it is very inefficient.

Used if you do not trust the content of your workspace. Removes all of the files in the workspace root, including the build history, and then force syncs the required files.

Forced Clean and Sync

You can select a number of options:

  • Populate have list: Overwrites the Perforce "have list". The "have list" records which files have been synced to the workspace. This is usually used when you are not force syncing and only want the next sync to transfer the changes made since the last time the workspace was synced.
  • QUIET Perforce messages: Enables the -q flag for all applicable Perforce Helix Core Server operations. Summary details will still be displayed.
  • Pin build at Perforce Label: When a build is triggered by Polling, Build Now, or an external action, the workspace will only sync to the Perforce label in this field. Any other specified change or label will be ignored. Supports variable expansion, for example ${VAR}. If now is used, or a variable that expands to now, the latest change is used (within the scope of the workspace view). For more information about environment variables, see Variable Expansion.
