How to do both ways integrations across different Perforce depots?

I would like to know how we are supposed to do integration between different Perforce servers/depots.

I'm looking for a solution that would allow us to do both-ways integrations.

This Using Remote Depots article descr开发者_C百科ibes how to map the remote depot as read only. Is this the only solution to do mappings on both servers? If so, this means that I could not use a single branch spec to do both ways integrations.

From reading the Perforce knowledge base, I believe the preferred/suggested solution is for each server to do the integrate from the read-only remote depot.

This is a by-design limitation of Perforce because the meta-data is only available to the local server, e.g. serverA:1666 does not know commands performed by a user on serverB:1666 (as explained in the case-study at the bottom of this article).

Also the point regarding performance is absolutely true; our server was hammered this afternoon during a code drop from a remote depot. All we could do was wait until the integrate/diff was complete.

To find out what is happening on your server, use the command p4 monitor show to show what the current workload on your server.
