Determining If A File Is Sent From The Proxy Or The Server

TASK

How can I determine if a file has been sent from the Proxy or the Server?

SOLUTION

To determine whether a file synced to a client is delivered from the proxy cache, you can use the flag -Zproxyverbose in your p4 sync command.

Example

p4 -Zproxyverbose sync //depot/foo.txt

If the file is being delivered from the proxy cache you see output similar to the following:

//depot/foo.txt#7 - added as c:p4foo.txt

File c:p4foo.txt delivered from proxy server

If the message "File ... delivered from proxy server" is not present, then the file was not delivered from the proxy cache.
