Helix Core Server Administrator Guide: Multi-Site Deployment (2018.2)

Commit-edge

This topic assumes you have read the Introduction to federated services.

Note

You cannot issue the p4 unsubmit and p4 resubmit commands to an edge server. You can only issue these commands to a commit server.

Tip

Commit-edge architecture builds upon Helix Server replication technology. Before attempting to deploy a commit-edge configuration, read Helix Server replication, including the section on Connecting services, which includes information on Managing SSL key pairs.

Tip

An edge server can be used instead of a build farm server, and this usage is referred to as a build edge server. If the only users of an edge server are build processes, disaster recovery is possible without backing up the local edge server-specific workspace and related information. See Migrating from existing installations.

Important

Some Helix Core Server commands behave differently when you have edge servers. See the Support Knowledgebase article, "Edge Servers".
