Plastic SCM Enterprise Edition 7

As part of our platform consolidation, this content will be moving to Unity.com by March 31st, 2025. Preview the new location and updated resources here. Welcome to Plastic Cloud - the Plastic SCM hosted solution. The purpose of this guide is to help you get up to speed with the Plastic Cloud extension and its key concepts. This guide serves as a walkthrough to get your Plastic repositories up and running in the cloud. What is Plastic Cloud Plastic Cloud is the hosted Plastic SCM server solution. We have two different Cloud products: Plastic SCM Enterprise Edition plus Cloud extension For teams who require an on-premises server (included in Enterprise Edition) and host repositories on the Cloud. Requirements: Purchase Enterprise Edition and add the Cloud extension (not Cloud Edition). This guide documents this version of Plastic Cloud. Plastic Cloud Edition This is a different product designed for teams that do not need an on-premises server. The only central location is the Cloud. Team members can have local clones of the repositories or work directly connected to the Cloud. Requirements: Purchase Cloud Edition (not Enterprise + Cloud). You will work with Plastic Cloud just as you do with a conventional Plastic SCM server; you will push and pull branches, create repositories, manage permissions, and so on. Internally, Plastic Cloud uses a fully redesigned Plastic server core. The cloud core runs on several cloud roles instead of just a single computer. This means that it can be horizontally scaled by simply adding more roles (computers). Plastic Cloud is a multi-tenant and highly scalable solution capable of handling thousands of different organizations. It makes the best possible use of the underlying cloud infrastructure. In practice, this means you don't have to worry about server setup or maintenance. We'll handle that for you! This

Cloud subscription if you wish to store your repositories in the Plastic SCM hosted service, combined with an on-premises Plastic SCM subscription. To subscribe to Plastic Cloud, you must have a valid Plastic SCM license. Examples: Plastic Cloud + your Enterprise Edition license for five users - the entire team will be able to access the Plastic Cloud. Does Plastic Cloud extension require a local (on-premises) Plastic SCM Server? Short answer: No, if you use Plastic Gluon. Yes, if you are a developer using the regular Plastic SCM. Programmers can achieve a better experience by using a distributed workflow with Plastic SCM. This means they will get better performance by pushing/pulling their branches in local repos to/from Plastic Cloud, instead of doing direct checkin to cloud. To work distributed, you need a local server, whether central to the team, installed locally for each developer, or a mix of these combinations. It is still possible to checkin directly to Plastic Cloud. It is the recommended way to work for users of Plastic Gluon, the tool designed for artists in game development, document writers, project managers, and other team members who don't work on code but work on other binary assets and don't need merge operations. Developers can also checkin directly and merge on Plastic Cloud if they need to. How do I upload my data to Plastic Cloud? You need to push your data from your local Plastic SCM server (or your team on-premises server) to Plastic Cloud. You will push to the Cloud the same way you push to a regular remote Plastic SCM server. You can set up your sync view to push/pull branches in batches. Remember, your remote repos will be referenced as reponame@organization@cloud. Example: tetris@arcadegarage@cloud. The @cloud part tells Plastic SCM to connect to the cloud server

Built on top of well-proven technology by a trusted provider. Plastic SCM metadata is stored in a combination of SQL Server Azure plus blob storage. Databases are replicated for high availability and redundancy. Versioned files are stored in Azure blob storage. Each blob is replicated up to six times in two different physical locations. What does it mean to choose a datacenter? To speed up the data transfer, you can choose the closest datacenter to you to store your versioned file data. There are several datacenters around the world, so by choosing the closest one to your team, you will reduce the network latency and hence greatly improve data transfer. Does Plastic Cloud provide a way to browse repositories online? Not currently. You can use your Plastic SCM client to list repos, as you would do with a regular remote Plastic SCM server. Licensing and pricing How does Plastic Cloud licensing work? To subscribe to Plastic Cloud, you need a valid Plastic SCM license (more on "licensing" below). The license can be a valid Enterprise, Cloud, or Personal Edition license. You can also use a Trial Edition. Then, you need a Plastic Cloud subscription, billed on a per-team basis. Plastic Cloud starts at $4.95/month per team for up to 15GB of storage. This level is for teams handling small repos (or at least what Plastic SCM considers small :P). The next level is $19.95/month per team for up to 100GB, which is specially designed for game development teams, 3D design teams, or teams who need to handle large binaries. After the first 100GB, your subscription will grow by buckets of 50GB, at an additional $7.45/month per team per bucket. Plastic Cloud will automatically upgrade your subscription to the next size tier without any interruption in the service. You will receive

Edit icon to the right of the group name to access the group configuration area: Here, the pre-configured Developers group is edited. From here, you can delete users and add new ones and also go to create new groups. You can also rename the group and edit its description. If you click Add new member, you'll go to the following page: Here, you can add the user's email to add to the group. Configuration wrap up As you have seen, configuring your organization is straightforward. You'll get everything you need with just a few clicks. At this time, configuring users and groups is all that you can do in the web interface. Anything else is done, as usual, from the Plastic SCM GUIs or command-line interface. Current limitations and notes Note You need to use Plastic SCM release 5.4.16.719 or higher to access Plastic Cloud. Note The "default" repo is not created in the Cloud. You'll need to create a repo manually before you can push branches to it. Limitation At this point, changing the revision type of an item in Plastic Cloud is not available. This is a limitation due to the new storage we're using, different from the traditional relational databases we use with Plastic SCM. Limitation Path-based security is still not reliable in the cloud server. It is not key for replication operations, and we expect to fix it in the near future to roll out full checkin workflow support. FAQProduct What is Plastic Cloud extension? Plastic Cloud is an extension to Enterprise Edition. It is the perfect way to synchronize multiple teams running Plastic SCM servers on-premises. You can host gigabytes of data in your Plastic Cloud repositories without issues. More at plasticscm.com/cloud What do I need to use Plastic Cloud extension? You'll need a Plastic

Organization: Organization name - this is the way to identify your repos in the cloud... so choose a cool name. Datacenter - select the data center that is closest to you to improve data transfer speed. The organization will generate, and we'll let you know. You're signed in to the Plastic Cloud. Accessing the Plastic Cloud from your Plastic developer GUI Important! You must first install and configure your Plastic Enterprise Edition before working with your cloud organization from Plastic. As a Plastic Enterprise Edition + Cloud extension user, you must learn how to install and configure your Plastic SCM Enterprise Edition. When you're ready, you can continue reading this chapter. Let's see how to access your cloud server. Go to the Plastic GUI and open up the Cloud view. You'll see something like this: Type organization_name@cloud as the server name. For example, the organization is test. So it would be test@cloud. Then, click (refresh) (or press the enter key) to access your organization. You'll be prompted to enter the credentials to access the cloud server: Enter the credentials you used to register at www.plasticscm.com when you purchased your Enterprise Edition license. Note: If you choose to remember the credentials for the next time, then a connection profile is created. This way, you won't longer have to enter the credentials. The list of available repositories is empty because you haven't created any repositories in the cloud yet, but you're connected! To create a repository: The repo list will refresh, this time showing your first cloud repository: From here on, you will be able to work with this cloud repository normally. Note: Check the list of current limitations to learn more about what you can do at this point. First push to the Cloud Pushing a branch to the cloud is

But internally the product is the same. It means the Cloud edition installer still includes a local server to host your local repos: are no incompatibility issues with previous versions. Please let us know if you have further questions. dy3a June 7, 2023, 3:53pm 6 Hi @carlosalba1985I uninstalled the version that got downloaded by Unity and installed the cloud edition from the plasticscm website, but it looks exactly the same and there is still no local server.Although, in the installer both client and server were checked (and greyed out, so could not uncheck anyway). The installer for the cloud edition I downloaded is named unity-vcs-11.0.16.8022-win.exe. I think it’s the same version thats available from the unity dashboard.Btw, the Mac and Windows download options in the Unity dashboard are swapped. Hi, let’s try the following:Unity install Unity Version Control Cloud / Plastic Cloud edition:Delete the following files:C:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\server\plasticd.licC:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\server\server.confC:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\server\netowkr.confInstall install Unity Version Control / Plastic Cloud edition: Plastic SCM - Download Plastic SCMIf you previously had an Enterprise installation of the product, the configuration will be kept even if you later install the Cloud edition. You will need to manually delete the configuration files to properly install the Plastic Cloud edition.If the issue persists, please reach us at [email protected] and we can arrange a meeting with you to debug it. dy3a June 8, 2023, 3:01pm 8 This did not work either.However, I reinstalled it again and deleted the whole C:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5 folder and the AppData\Local\plastic4 folder, which made it work. I had to download my repositories again, but now the local server shows up in the client.Thanks for your help!I am still wondering which version got downloaded by Unity though. Thanks for the update. Could you include a screenshot of how you originally installed the tool? I want to be
