Description
As I Jenkins Perforce Plugin user, I would like to have parallel sync possibility when using Jenkins Perforce Plugin, right now perforce already support parallel sync which would increase the sync time significantly.
From the command line, parallel sync is something like:
p4 sync --parallel threads=10,min=1,minsize=1

Looks like I can't find extra command-line options in advanced configuration section, do you know the actual name for that option?

I'm using Perforce Plugin 1.3.34 with Jenkins 1.596.2 and don't see anywhere in the advanced config section to add these command line options. Support for parallel syncs would be useful.

Three things:
- there isn't an extra command-line syncing options field. I don't know what Oleg is referring to...
- this is a minor enhancement, and certainly isn't 'Critical'
- perforce-plugin isn't really being maintained anymore
Sorry for the missing response and for misguiding you in the previous one. Seems I was thinking about another SCM wrapper.
Unfortunately I've lost my previous Perforce instance after changing the work, so I have no test environment, which is required to maintain the plugin. My past colleagues were going to do something for the plugin, but seems they are snowed under other tasks. The issue with two competing plugins is also not so comfortable. Since Perforce is a commercial product, I'd let Perforce guys to do their work (even if they don't provide the equal functionality or migration support).
I'm not much of a coder but I am a heavy tool user. I have to wonder, why has it been so difficult for either the unofficial OR the official Perforce Plug-in to get proper functional support for an argument as simple as --parallel? Does Jenkins not simply take the front-end configuration and translate it into a command line to run?
Is there any dev out there willing to help make this happen ASAP so those of us on massive Perforce projects can get our syncs to run faster?

You should contact Perforce Support if you need a feature implemented in it, as they will be more than happy to help one of their customers.
As for this plugin, it's just not being maintained very well anymore. I personally don't have much time to work on it these days unless there's a blocking issue, and pull requests are pretty few and far between. I'll take another look at this if I can find the time, but if someone else provides a pull request implementing this feature then I would be glad to merge it.

This was implemented in the official plugin last year – i suggest closing this

You can achieve such behavior by specifying extra command-line options in the advanced configuration section
