If you wish to build Plans on your Bamboo server and remote agents using a Perforce repository, you need to specify the location of the Perforce P4 client application for your Bamboo server and each remote agent that uses Perforce. These locations are set by specifying:

  • a mandatory local server Perforce capability for your Bamboo server and
  • agent-specific remote Perforce capabilities for each of your remote agents using Perforce.

Shared capabilities are inherited by all applicable agents, that is, (shared) local server capabilities are inherited by all local agents, and shared remote capabilities are inherited by all remote agents. Note, however, that the value of a shared capability will be overridden by the value of an agent-specific capability of the same name (if one exists). An agent-specific capability is a capability that applies to one agent only. Note that the value of an agent-specific capability will override the value of a shared capability of the same name (if one exists).
