Code drops without connectivity

Helix Server provides a pair of commands that enable you to move files and their associated change history between servers when there is no connectivity between the servers: p4 zip and p4 unzip.

The p4 zip takes the specified list of files and the changelists that submitted those files and writes them to the specified zip file. It lets you bundle up any depot path from a server into a zip file. You can zip one, many, or all the files.

You can also bundle by changelist number, capturing any number of changes through history.

You can then use the p4 unzip to unzip the content of the zip file into any Helix Server.
