P4v Integration error

Question

I have created a new branch (N) from one of my code lines (A). Now I am trying to integrate some files from another codeline (B) having the same tree structure into my new branch.

I am using Integrate option from P4v GUI.Source branch is B and target branch N and using a branch spec to accomplish this.

While integrating I am in the workspace which has branch N in its view but branch B is not in view as it resides on another server.

I am continuously getting the following error Integration error - no target file(s) in branch view

I have searched on the net and seems a lot of people face this issue but haven't found any solutions. Please help.

Answer 1

If you are using P4V, you can easily be misdirected by the GUI. In particular, if you right click somewhere to select "Merge/Integrate...", then the thing you've clicked on is going to be used as the target, EVEN IF YOU USE A BRANCH SPECIFICATION.

I puzzled over something very similar for ages, until I realised that I was clicking on branch B to start the merge, rather than clicking on branch N.

The GUI misdirection is that thing you clicked is originally shown as a target, but when you choose to use a branch specification, then that part of the dialogue disappears. It's still there on the "Filter" tab, but you've already forgotten about it because the GUI took it away...

Answer 2

The issue was that B resided on another server and I did not have remote depot mapping on server containing A and N. Adding that mapping resolved the issue.
